Verdigris (novel): Difference between revisions

'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the thirtieth [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] novel. It featured the [[Third Doctor]], [[Jo Grant]] and [[Iris Wildthyme]]. This was the first full length past Doctor novel to feature Iris Wildthyme. She had previously appeared in the full length Eighth Doctor novels [[EDA]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'' and ''[[The Blue Angel (novel)|The Blue Angel]]''.

* Iris mentions the occasion when the TARDIS fell off a cliff on [[Peladon]]. The Doctor says that that has not happened yet in his personal timeline. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Peladon]]'')

* Iris was on [[Karn]] when the [[Fourth Doctor]] visited the planet. She was then a member of the [[Sisterhood of Karn]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'')

* Iris has an adventure in the Death Zone remarkably similar to [[DW]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''.

* The Master leaves Earth at the end of this story, having escaped from prison in [[DW]]: '' [[The Sea Devils]]'', and aims for [[Skaro]], which leads to his next appearance in [[DW]]: '' [[Frontier in Space]]''.

* At the end of the novel, Verdigris travels to the anti-matter universe to assist Omega against the Doctor. This sets up the events of [[DW]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]''.

* Iris recalls her encounters with the Fourth Doctor while he was travelling with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] ([[ST]]: ''[[Old Flames (short story)|Old Flames]]'') and, later, with "[[Romana I|a blonde girl]]" and "[[K9 Mark II|a robot dog]]" ([[ST]]: ''[[Suitors, Inc. (short story)|Suitors, Inc.]]'').

* Jo recalls being dragged to the future to face the [[Dalek]]s ([[DW]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]''), tussling with "[[Sea Devil|fish people]]", ([[DW]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]''), being tied to an altar to be sacrificed to the [[Azal|Devil]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Dæmons]]''), facing "a [[Nestene Consciousness|malign alien consciousness]] that [[Auton|disguised itself variously in the form of shop dummies, plastic daffodils and trimphones]]" ([[DW]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'') and visiting [[Atlantis]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'').

* The Doctor mentions that the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] once had a [[moonbase|base]] on the [[The Moon|Moon]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion (TV story)|The Invasion]]'')

* Jo and Iris would later meet again in [[December]] [[2010]]. ([[CC]]: ''[[Find and Replace]]'')

:* Iris mentions when the Doctor's TARDIS fell off the cliff (see continuity), which means in theory this occurs before [[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Peladon]]''.

:* However, the Master is not in prison so this story must take place after [[DW]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]''.

* ''Verdigris'' occurs after [[DWM]]: ''[[Target Practice]]''.

* ''Verdigris'' occurs before [[DW]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]''.
