Transmat:Doctor Who
Kinda was a 1982 Fifth Doctor story that was important to the development of the character of companion Tegan Jovanka. It established her as susceptible to the psychological horror of the Mara, a recurring villain that plagued her in several other stories. Behind the scenes, Kinda was interesting for its shifting fate amongst audience members. Doctor Who fans initially rejected the effort, ranking it low in the DWM 69 poll of viewer opinion of season 19. However, its appreciation by fans steadily rose over the years, and in 2009's DWM poll to rank the then-200 stories of Doctor Who, it ranked a respectable 69. Meanwhile, 21st century writers Steven Moffat and Rob Shearman have both sung its praises in various documentaries, and the British National Film Archive bought a copy in order to preserve it as example of Doctor Who at its finest.
Jane Tranter was an important advocate for the return of Doctor Who to BBC One in the early 2000s. Considering her importance to Doctor Who it's somewhat ironic that her only on-screen credits are for Torchwood: Miracle Day.
However, several stories have clearly taken material from comic strips — often those in Doctor Who Magazine. The Shakespeare Code contains a good amount of material from A Groatsworth of Wit, and the notion of the Doctor absorbing the time vortex in order to spare a companion was explored in both The Parting of the Ways and The Flood.
