From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A Comedy of Terrors was the second short story in Twelve Doctors of Christmas, featuring the Second Doctor.
Summary
The Second Doctor, along with Jamie and Zoe, arrive on The Royal pace Cruiser, Starlight. The starship was carrying Princess Triana of the Sita Federation to the planet Luxona. Shortly after arriving, the Doctor decides that something "smells" off and they decide to stay to investigate, disguised as Shakespearean actors.
Characters
References
- The Second Doctor is familiar with the natives of Raxacoricofallapatorius.
Notes
- Despite being described as orange, like the Slitheen-Blathereen, the Hanazeen-Blathereen is depicted in the illustration as having green skin like the Slitheen and indeed the Blathereen in The Monsters Inside. Curiously, she is also seen without a compression field collar.
Continuity
- While the Second Doctor is familiar with Raxacoricofallapatorians in the form of the Hanazeen-Blathereen family, his next incarnation is unfamiliar with the Slitheen. (PROSE: The Christmas Inversion) When the Ninth Doctor confronts the Slitheen, he is able to recall their home planet only after narrowing it down according to their distinctive traits. (TV: Aliens of London/World War Three)
- The Doctor would battle Raxacoricofallapatorians again during his ninth (TV: Aliens of London / World War Three, Boom Town; PROSE: The Monsters Inside) and tenth incarnations. (AUDIO: The Taste of Death, PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)
