Tom Baker Invasion of Time
The lodge is set, tonight on KBTC is the Classic Doctor Who Plege a Thon marathon starting at 6PM PST Seattle Time. We are donating the door prize of 300 dollars worth of Doctor Who toys for some lucky plegee. You can check out our article here on Comics Forge for the complete list of goodies to be won.
Tonight’s show is the Invasion of Time:
The Doctor has returned to Gallifrey and uses the law to claim the Presidency of the Time Lords. But the Doctor is acting strangely – he banishes Leela from the Capitol Citadel and into the Badlands.
It seems the Doctor has led a group of aliens, the Vardans, to the planet with a plan to destroy the Time Lords. But all is not resolved as the Sontarans seize their opportunity to invade.
The invasion Of Time, first broadcast in 1978 featuring Tom Baker as the fourth Doctor, highlights the KBTC marathon set for Saturday, January 22nd beginning at 6pm.
The Fourth Doctor is a natural bohemian who permanently left UNIT in order to return to a life of deep universal wandering. More so than his previous incarnations, he is thrilled by discovery and adventure.
Galvanized by higher purpose, he is disarmingly loopy (constantly offering friends and foes jelly babies), brilliant and entirely serious, all at the same time.
Imposingly tall, with eyes that seem to constantly boggle, a mass of curls for hair and prominently displayed teeth, the Doctor favors an outfit that usually consists of a shirt, waistcoat, trousers, a frock coat (with pockets containing a seemingly endless array of apparently useless items that would nevertheless suit the Doctor’s purposes when used), a wide-brimmed hat and, most famously, his impractically long, multicolored scarf, which was apparently knitted for him by Madame Nostradamus (whom he refers to as a “witty little knitter”).
We hope to take your calls and pledges to keep Classic Doctor Who on the Air – The number to call to support is 1-800-325-5877 to make a donation by phone, but you must call between 6 PM and 10 PM on the 22end to be eligible for the Door Prize. KBTC has extended their pledge hours, and tonight is going to be a lot of fun. Look for our simulcast on this blog of the event, and pictures to be posted.
