Field-Major Sarg is in trouble. Trapped, wounded and alone on a battle-scarred planet, he is forced to accept he may die. But at least it will be a glorious death – or so he hopes.
The storytelling style - which features Field-Major Sarg talking to camera throughout – could very well have been inspired by the BBC's monologue anthology series Talking Heads (1988-1998), written and created by Alan Bennett.
For the purposes of this list, a "Sontaran story" is one in which one living, authentic Sontaran plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor are also not included due to the Sontarans' appearance being no consequence to the plot of the story. Stories featuring Strax of the Paternoster Gang are only included on the Paternoster Gang story template.
For the purposes of this list, a "Rutan story" is one in which one living, authentic Rutan plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.
