* Grakk and his artist were accused of corrupting the youth on his planet with his comic, causing all sorts of mayhem. This led to him and his artist moving to Earth to continue making comics. When the Doctor shuts down the comic Agrotron, commenting on how the kids on Earth are more than capable of ruining their own minds, Grakk goes to plan B, making video games. This mirrors the modern day argument over how video games corrupt the minds of the young, being more or less the same as the arguments made by Fredric Wertham in the 1950s over how comics were corrupting the youth of America.

Izzy's Story was a 2009 Big Finish Productions full-cast audio short story, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Izzy, his longest-serving companion in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strips.

It was written by Alan Barnes, who had created the character of Izzy and had written many Izzy stories in Doctor Who Magazine.

Publisher's summary

TARDIS travel opens one's eyes to a universe of possibilities, reckons the Doctor. For geek girl Izzy, it's also a fantastic way to track down ultra-rare back copies of Agrotron!, the most dangerous comic in history...

Notes

  • This story was recorded on 30 and 31 October, 2008.
  • Jemima Rooper's performance as Izzy was praised by Alan Barnes, who said "she 'got' the character the second she spoke her first line, absolutely - walking the line between 'utterly adorable, give her a hug' and 'slightly irritating nerd' like she was born to play it!" (Vortex issue 5)
  • This remains the only story in which the character of Izzy was performed by an actor.
