Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation
Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation | Gary Russell
2 posts | 4 to read
An original adventure tying in to the ninth season of Doctor Who, the spectacular hit series from BBC Television, featuring the new 12th Doctor as played by Peter Capaldi. "I'm an archaeologist, but probably not the one you were expecting." Christmas 2015, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Imagine everyone's surprise when a time portal opens up in Sydney Cove. Imagine their shock as a massive pyramid now sits beside the Harbour Bridge, inconveniently blocking Port Jackson and glowing with energy. Imagine their fear as Cyrrus "the mobster" Globb, Professor Horace Jaanson and an alien assassin called Kik arrive to claim the glowing pyramid. Finally imagine everyone's dismay when they are followed by a bunch of con artists out to spring their greatest grift yet. This gang consists of Legs (the sexy comedian), Dog Boy (providing protection and firepower), Shortie (handling logistics), Da Trowel (in charge of excavation and history) and their leader, Doc (busy making sure the universe isn't destroyed in an explosion that makes the Big Bang look like a damp squib). And when someone accidentally reawakens The Ancients of the Universe - which, Doc reckons, wasn't the wisest or best-judged of actions - things get a whole lot more complicated...

Finally, it's worth noting that Benny's place in the Doctor Who universe is now canon after she appeared in the official Twelfth Doctor novel Big Bang Generation. Apparently the book was intended to feature River Song, but Steven Moffat had other plans for her (see: The Husbands of River Song) and the Doctor's other archeologist friend was used instead. So despite never appearing on screen, Bernice Summerfield has featured in a licensed BBC story!

GrilledCheeseSamurai I am a huge fan of the 2005 reboot series. I admit, I haven't really watched the classics, but regardless of that I consider myself pretty well versed in Who lore. I know some would scoff at me and call me a newb. I'm okay with that. I've never read anything Who related though. Got any suggestions on some favorites or best places to start? 7y
Anton @GrilledCheeseSamurai Human Nature is widely considered the best Doctor Who book, and it's different enough from the Tenth Doctor episode that's based on it to feel like a very different story. Harvest Of Time is a great Third Doctor book that really captures the 1970s UNIT era. I also enjoyed the Eighth Doctor books EarthWorld and Fear Itself. The first three of those were all published or reissued recently, so they should be easy to find. 7y
