Latest revision as of 19:18, 15 August 2022

The Eleventh Doctor once discovered an individual who had apparently died on board a spaceship that crashed on the Fancy in the 17th century, in another dimension. This crew member, referred to as the captain by Henry Avery, caught a human disease and died along with the rest of the crew. The virtual medic on board had no patients to care for, so it took a human form and started taking pirates. (TV: The Curse of the Black Spot)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Although not named in the episode, the alien's shoulder had the abbreviation D.I.H.S. on it, which may be of some relation to either the unnamed ship or the species.
The Doctor Who Encyclopedia names the individual's species as the "Skerth".
