Short Trips - The Doctor Who Audio Dramas

Dramatis Personae
A guide to who’s Who in the DWADs
THE THE NINTH NINTH DOCTOR DOCTOR was a craggy faced older man in a leather jacket with a
taste for dry sarcasm and puncturing pomposity in others. Little is known about
this short-lived incarnation, including the events that ended the life of his
predecessor. First seen in Portal, the Ninth Doctor flourished for twelve seasons
and ten companions until he finally regenerated (in suitably mysterious
circumstances) at the end of The Crucible of Terror.
MELISSA MELISSA was a relaxed and rather flippant Time Lady who accompanied the
Ninth Doctor for his first three seasons. She didn’t get a straightforward
introduction story, but Melissa left in the thrillingly-titled Evil of the Krotons.
THE THE THE MASTER MASTER, MASTER when last we saw him, was flushed through a black hole in the
heart of the TARDIS. But he survived, as is his want, as a hideously scarred and
insane lunatic believing that by cutting the Doctor’s hearts out he could
regenerate his body. That didn’t work, but eventually he managed to get himself a
brand new Time Lord body free from any pesky Cheetah Viruses by use of a
macguffin known as an Event Manipulator. He’s also recently revealed that all
those times he was stumbling around the place being a complete moron with
idiotic schemes that never make sense was all an act to lure the Doctor into a false
sense of security... or maybe the Master’s just in denial. Nevertheless, the evil
Time Lord’s on a downward spiral, having last been seen losing his TARDIS and
trying to steal the proceeds from Children in Need 2010 to make ends meet...
KEVIN KEVIN VASAVIOUS VASAVIOUS was a neurotic, irritating and generally useless young man
working for UNIT at the time of the Tenth Doctor’s creation. After annoying each
other for four episodes, the two went their separate ways but five seasons later
they bumped into each other once again in The Most Dangerous Game. Kevin
stayed aboard the TARDIS, becoming perhaps the longest-serving companion in
DWAD history, he appeared in forty-five stories over ten seasons.
THE THE TENTH TENTH TENTH DOCTOR DOCTOR was a disconcertingly familiar version of the Time Lord, as
his other incarnations would be the first to criticize: munching jelly babies,
wearing long scarves, building robot dogs and speaking mainly lines the Fourth
Doctor had said long ago. It transpired that an accident in the Matrix had
unraveled the Doctor’s timeline, causing this incarnation to mirror his earlier one.
The Tenth Doctor’s reign lasted seventy stories, from 1983’s The Andromeda
Syndrome to Countdown to Armageddon in 1992.
