Stuff

Well my favourite Doctor would have The second . Then eithier the Tenth or The fourth .Then the fifth . Then the Third . Then the first or the sixth . Whos personalitys are well I dont know how to say this .. But .. The same . Personally I think of Colin as The colourful Hartnell or The younger hartnell . hmmm... I think i like colin best though . His stories are more or less not that good . There okay its the writers where in short .. Dicks ! Its not his stories I admire its his overall doctorishness. I have seen the T.V movie and listened to Terror Firma and pauls great . Hope he returns for a new series multi doctor story . I usef to hate doc no 7 but after actually seeing him . Hes great . Isnt he ?I DO NOT like the ninth . HATE HIM even though he was MY first doctor .

An unearthly child

Very good . Nice nostalgic moment with that police man at the start an the humming . Episode one is VERY good . Very strange . Good oppening . Just think about what the veiweirs at the time thought . Colin Baker was supprised. Nice enough cavemen . Bit to intelligent though it would be hard if they werent . WIllams a good doc . I hardly ever tire of the black and white thrill filled DVD . Nice sketches on them on the way . Next stop the Dead planet (The Daleks)

The daleks

Showed promise but got dragged . First few ones are great . Next ones are ok . The highlight is the actual Daleks themseves . It has a spralling feel . If I hadnt of watch dr who and the daleks first I think I would be more confused. Good enough .Hartnells still great.

The Edge of destruction .

Well I like it quite a small treat after the 7 ep dalek story . Not that orginal . Story of munity really isint it ? Physco fell to it . LOVE the scene with susan and the Scissors . Very short afterall its too eps . Kind of rushed and the melting clock effect

Marco polo

This review is for the small 3o min recon of this huge 6 part story . If the story can be condensed into 30 mins than the orginal must be spralling and boring . I like how they took the footage from the end of the brink of diaster (Ep 2 od edge of destructon) . Nice touch . The captions are .. usefull enough and the pictures are a lifesaver ... a cosmos without pics barley scares thinking about . Nice enough . Ping chos annoying and so marco i like the con artist who robb ping cho there freaky and funny nice voices and facial expresssions .

Keys of marnius

I cant review this as sadly i hav not seen it . I hope it will be released on DVD soon ...




Appearance

Quarks are cuboid in shape with a sphere on top two spikes come from opposite sides of this sphere and one comes out on top. They have rectangle shaped compartments on their chests where their cuboid gun folds inside. The spore spikes are red along with the rim attaching them all. The rest of the sphere is black and the body is grey like normal metal. The robots feet are large pieces of metal in the shape of a block; poles attach these to the body. Quarks communicate with bleeps.

Abilities

Quarks are able to use their guns to:

  • Kill
  • Stun
  • Electrocute
  • Communicate
  • Power objects

Quarks can collect data from a survey just by turning 360 degrees. Quarks emit warning signals when tripped or covered. The Dominators have sybold representing each Quark on a wall, the sybol for the corrosponding Quark flashes when that Quark is destroyed.


History

Quarks were originally the robot servants of the Dominators. The Doctor and his companions encountered some of them on Dulkis. (DW: The Dominators). After being reunited with Jamie McCrimmon in Scotland, the Doctor defeated an attempted Quark invasion of Earth. (TVC: Invasion of the Quarks). Shortly afterwards, the Quarks used their Giant Wasps to attack the Doctor and Jamie on the planet Gano. (TVC: The Killer Wasps). On an unnamed jungle world, the Quarks attacked the Doctor and Jamie again, causing his TARDIS to be buried under rubble. (TVC: Jungle of Doom) In 1971, the Quarks caused the Martha series of robots, which were invented by the Doctor to do housework, to turn against humanity as a prelude to their invasion. (TVC: Martha the Mechanical Housemaid) In 2044, the Quarks arrived on the planet Hekton to kill the Doctor, but were defeated by the human colonists. (TVC: The Duellists) In 2053, a Quark pursued the Doctor when he participated in an automobile race on Earth. (TVC: Death Race) The Doctor and Mel also defeated the Quarks and their Giant Wasps. (MA: Millennial Rites)

Notes

  • Since the Dominators were not mentioned in the Quarks' later appearances, it can be assumed that they eventually left them to form their own empire.

stuff

  • The Quarks where originally designed by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln but when the design was changed against their liking the project was handed to Norman Ashby. The copyrights to the Quarks were undecided and so the Quarks never returned to TV but made numerous comic appearences.
  • The Quarks may be at war with the Vespiforms. This is probably a mix-up between the Vespiforms and the Quark's giant wasps. The Killer Wasps was shown in Captain Jack's Monster Files backing this up. (Captain Jack's Monster Files)

Return of the Quarks?

  • The Quarks were set to return to Doctor Who for The Five Doctors but were removed from the script at an early stage and replaced by the Raston Warrior Robot. The Quarks appear on the cover of the Five Doctor's VHS as this was not changed to match the TV swap.
