Straxus (Human Resources): Difference between revisions

In his next incarnation, Straxus became sick of the acts that the Time Lords had commited. He was found by the [[Dalek time controller]], who had his DNA altered and he became known as Kotris. Kotris spent centuries on the planet [[Srangor]] helping the Daleks create a [[Temporal Chamber]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[X and the Daleks (audio story)|X and the Daleks]]'') Knowing that his future self would become an enemy of the Time Lords, the younger Straxus attempted to commit suicide by throwing himself off a mountain on Srangor but was prevented from doing so by a [[temporal drone]] sent by Kotris. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Great War (audio story)|The Great War]]'', ''[[X and the Daleks (audio story)|X and the Daleks]]'') Kotris was erased from history when his earlier self, seeing what he would become, was exterminated by the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[X and the Daleks (audio story)|X and the Daleks]]'')

* On the [[12 July (production)|12 July]] [[2011 (production)|2011]] edition of ''[[The Big Finish Podcast]]'', [[Nicholas Briggs]] revealed that the original actor hired to play Straxus had to be fired. When the original actor proved unsuitable for the role, Briggs quickly called someone he knew — [[Nickolas Grace]] — to take over. The crew became so enamoured of his performance on the audio story ''[[Human Resources (audio story)|Human Resources]]'' that they wrote Straxus into ''[[The Vengeance of Morbius (audio story)|The Vengeance of Morbius]]''. Briggs went on to claim that this was the only time in Big Finish's ''Doctor Who'' production where an actor had to be fired for performance deficiencies.[[Category:Individual Time Lords]]
