Strax Field Report: The Doctors (webcast): Difference between revisions

* The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]].

* Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role unceremoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen. Viewers were left to draw their own conclusions, and this became the popular assumption. His real cause of regeneration was explored in the 2005 novel ''[[Spiral Scratch]]'' and in the [[2015 (releases)|2015]] audio anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]'', specifically the final story of the anthology, ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]''.
