‘We obey our creator. That is all that can be expected of any character.’
In a transitional season of Doctor Who between the base under siege formula and later, more grounded stories, no story was more experimental than The Mind Robber , the debut of the visually inventive director David Maloney. Its creative solutions to production problems, including a main cast member’s illness and the need to add an entire extra episode, lift it from run-of-the-mill whimsy to one of the series’ finest moments.
Andrew Hickey has written books on topics including Doctor Who, and a novel, Head of State.
