Doctor Who Discovers

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Doctor Who Discovers was a series of educational children's books written by the Fourth Doctor during his time working with UNIT. By one account, the Doctor was later contacted in his fifth incarnation to finish the series.

The sixth book in the series. (AUDIO: The Kingmaker [+]Loading...["The Kingmaker (audio story)"])

The intended title for the series was The Doctor, Who Discovers... but the publishing company misprinted the title, resulting in the author being mistakenly credited as "Doctor Who". (AUDIO: The Kingmaker [+]Loading...["The Kingmaker (audio story)"])

Contents[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Fourth Doctor completed five books in the series: Doctor Who Discovers Early Man, Doctor Who Discovers Prehistoric Monsters, Doctor Who Discovers Space, Doctor Who Discovers Strange and Mysterious Creatures and Doctor Who Discovers the Conquerors. He began work on the sixth, Doctor Who Discovers Historical Mysteries, but left it unfinished until a robot sent by the publishers from the 64th century invaded the TARDIS to forcefully remind the Fifth Doctor of his contractual obligation; the Doctor therefore resumed investigating the mystery of who killed the Princes in the Tower during the reign of King Richard III of England.

In the course of the adventure William Shakespeare died in the century before his birth, which cause the robot's deadline circuit to malfunction; the robot then exploded. Unable to write about the truth of what happened to Richard and the princes in order to preserve the course of history, the Doctor suggested the possibility of investigating the historical mystery of Jack the Ripper instead.

However, according to another source, a sixth novel did exist written by the Fourth Doctor, titled Doctor Who Discovers Pirates. (PROSE: Doctor Who Discovers Pirates [+]Loading...["Doctor Who Discovers Pirates (novel)"])
