Doctor Who & Spin-Offs A-Z Game

I feel like I just got in trouble for making a joke in class, but at the same time I feel like the post worked in the spirit of the game. Just trying to have a little fun.

I'll take a break for a while from playing

Well I think the fact that the BBC asked for it to be pulled from air says everything about that video. They obviously find it an embarrassment to Doctor Who and a degrading of it as do I. It should have remained lost and Mr. Ferguson, as a Whovian, should have known better. I think that a more appropriate thread should be used for things like that. And if one doesn't exist then it should be created.

Matt Smith thought enough of the idea to participate. I guess that fact and the stupidity of it all made me laugh. To each their own I suppose.

Great Intelligence, which usually referred to itself simply as the Intelligence and was originally known as Yog-Sothoth, was a disembodied sentience who attempted to find a body and physical existence.

Juggernauts, The - Big Finish Productions audio adventure starring Colin Baker as "The Doctor" and Bonnie Langford as "Mel Bush".

Synopsis
----------
In a small mining colony on the dark and distant planet of Lethe, events are occurring -- the results of which could dramatically affect things on a universal scale. For within the dingy corridors of the artificial biosphere, the lone survivor of a devastating crash has expertly wormed his way into the lives of the colony’s personnel.

A scientist known as Davros.

Separated from one another across space and time, the Doctor and Mel find themselves in very different predicaments: Mel has been employed on Lethe, while the Doctor has been imprisoned aboard an alien spacecraft. Both situations are inexorably linked, however, and at the apex of the two sits Davros and the terrifying possibility of a new threat even more powerful than the Daleks!

Rescuing Mel and stopping Davros should be the Doctor’s primary goals, but could it be that this time, Mel does not wish to be rescued? And might Davros actually be working on something for the benefit of the civilised galaxies...?
