Summary
Traveling alone the Doctor visits a zoo to take his mind off things. One of the newest attractions is the endangered, intangible Krikoosh (a cute fox-like creature), which because of its unique properties is kept in a specially constructed cage. The Doctor explains to nearby visitors that the Krikoosh is made of unstable molecules and so can pass through solid objects but he is distracted by the approach of a nearby cleaning robot that isn't cleaning anything! Scanning the robot with his sonic screwdriver the casing breaks open and a Dalek is exposed its cover now blown. The Dalek transmits an ultrasonic sound that drives the other animals (including the Gorrillazons - giant fanged apes) berserk, and create a distraction while it completes it mission and secures the target the cage and the Krikoosh. The Doctor cancels out the Dalek signal using his sonic screwdriver over the tannoy system but the animals do not settle immediately and, as the Dalek flies off with the cage, the lions surround the Doctor!

Characters
- Tenth Doctor
- Krikoosh - in appearance, like a upright furry, purple, fox-like creature, it is a 22nd Century endangered species with the peculiar ability to pass through solid matter attributable to its composition of unstable molecules.
- Dalek
Original Print Details
(Instalment, publication with page count and closing captions)
- 1/4 Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 57 (4 pages) TO BE CONTINUED…
- No reprints to date.
Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures (Magazine), it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
References
- The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various ‘props’ used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
Continuity
