TARDIS Teaser was the second game and third release exclusively published in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 in September 2005 by Panini UK and the BBC. The puzzle game featured an original illustration by Ben Morris, while the writing of the Annual's puzzles was collectively attributed to Justin Richards and Gareth Roberts.
Like the previous game in the annual, TARDIS Teaser did not have an interactive format as such, only asking the reader/player to guess the solution to the story's mystery before they read on to see the actual answer obtained by the Doctor. However, unlike Robot Rose, TARDIS Teaser made no effort to fit within the status-quo of the Ninth Doctor's universe, featuring him and Jack Harkness travelling alone in the TARDIS and being "found" by "the Daleks" and their space fleet — despite the Doctor famously being under the impression that the Daleks were destroyed up until Bad Wolf. Due to this ostensible intent not to count as part of the Doctor's ongoing story as explored on television and elsewhere in the book, this game is not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Daleks have found the TARDIS and it is being chased across space by a detachment of heavily-armed Dalek flying saucers. With the dematerialisation circuit broken and the Doctor busy fixing it, it's up to Captain Jack to plot an escape route using the TARDIS's spacedrive. Giving the TARDIS computer all the data it needs, he asks it how many of the ten Dalek ships are unarmed.
Characters[[edit] | [edit source]]
Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Some of the Dalek ships armed with ruby ray lasers, atomic cannons or both. The TARDIS's sensors is able to detect this remotely.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story was the first to give the name of spacedrive to the Doctor's TARDIS's ability, prominently featured in Series 1 and onwards throughout the BBC Wales series, used to fly through outer space like a conventional spaceship instead of dematerialising and moving through the Time Vortex.
