Doctor Who 101 The Autons and the Nestene

The Autons and Nestene One of The Doctor most evil enemy's. They have battled with the Third and Ninth and Eleventh Doctor's. The first time The Doctors meets them was just after he regenerated into his Third incarnation. he then battled them once again in the episode Terror of the Autons the first episode of season 8 of classic Doctor Who. They returned once again after many years in the first episode of new Doctor Who that episode was called Rose It marked the start of new Doctor Who a new doctor and the return of the autons. Later they came back once again in episode 12 of season 5 The Pandorica opens. They returned again but not just as manikins this time as Romans! They haven't showed up in any another episodes of Doctor Who yet! but we will see what the future holds? Well the Nestene the commander of the Autons. The nestene make the Autons so they don't have to do the dirty work well they can't really. their full name is the Nestene consciousness here is a picture of the two forms we have seen.

Pretty creepy huh?
Well how to stop them!: first to defeat the Autons you must stop the Nestene their is a anti-plastic liquid that the ninth incarnation of the doctor used to defeat them. Other ways well I believe that they are weak to high pitched signals. Well that's about it on the Nestene and Autons comment on which monster you want to see next and for now bye!

First Doctor

The first incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by William Hartnell. During Hartnell's tenure, the Doctor visited a mixture of stories set in the future and in historical events that had no extraterrestrial influence, such as fifteenth century Mesoamerica. In his last story, The Tenth Planet, the Doctor gradually grew weaker to the point of collapsing at the end of the fourth episode, leading to his regeneration.

Second Doctor

The Second Doctor was portrayed by Patrick Troughton, whose serials were more action-oriented than those of his predecessor. Additionally, after The Highlanders, stories moved away from the purely historical ones that featured during William Hartnell's tenure; instead, any historical tales also included a science fiction element. Patrick Troughton retained the role until the last episode of The War Games when members of the Doctor's race, the Time Lords, put him on trial for breaking the laws of time and forced him to regenerate.

Season 4 (1966–67) continued

Peter Bryant joined as associate producer for The Faceless Ones, and replaced Gerry Davis as script editor for the last four episodes of The Evil of the Daleks.

Season 12 (1974–75)

Main article: Doctor Who (season 12)

Barry Letts served as producer for Robot, after which he was succeeded by Philip Hinchcliffe. Robert Holmes took over from Terrance Dicks as script editor. All serials in this season continue directly one after the other, tracing one single problematic voyage of the TARDIS crew. Despite the continuity, each serial is considered its own standalone story. This season also introduced the character of Harry Sullivan as a companion; this character was intended to undertake action scenes, during the period prior to Tom Baker being cast, when it was unclear how old the actor playing the new Doctor would be.

After an 18-month production hiatus, the series returned.

The segments are commonly referred to by their working titles^[10] (listed below) but the season was broadcast as one fourteen-part story and the working titles did not appear on screen. Episode length returned to 25 minutes, but with only fourteen episodes in the season, making the total running time of this season (and subsequent seasons) just over half of the previous seasons, going back to season 7.

Fan groups have also used other informal titles. The DVD release is titled Doctor Who: The Movie. In 2013, Paul McGann returned for the second television appearance of the Eighth Doctor in the minisode titled, "The Night of the Doctor".

Radio broadcasts

There have been many Doctor Who radio broadcasts over the years. In addition to a small number of in-house BBC productions, a larger number of radio plays produced by Big Finish began to be broadcast on BBC Radio 7 from 2005, featuring the Eighth Doctor (again played by Paul McGann) with mainstay companions Charley Pollard and later Lucie Miller. Initially, these were broadcasts of Big Finish productions that had already been released on CD. However, the series that began with Blood of the Daleks and concluded with Human Resources was specially commissioned by the BBC from Big Finish for broadcast prior to the CD release. Many more of these were released on CD than were broadcast on the radio; only those plays broadcast by the BBC are listed here. See the list of Doctor Who audio releases as a starting point for other audio plays and audio books, notably the list of Doctor Who audio plays by Big Finish which includes considerably more plays than were broadcast.

The Adventure Games

Main article: Doctor Who: The Adventure Games

On 7 April 2010, the BBC announced that the fifth series would be supplemented with four "interactive episodes",^[82] released online for free in the UK. They are described as "part of the Doctor Who universe", and will "go on to define the look and feel of future TV episodes." Executively produced by Moffat, Wenger and Willis with Anwen Aspden and Charles Cecil, the games are developed by Sumo Digital and written by Phil Ford and James Moran. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan provide full voiceovers for the digitised Doctor and Amy, both of whom are playable characters. Each episode offers around two hours of gameplay.^[82] The Adventure Games were recommissioned by the BBC for a second series in 2011,^[83] but after the release of The Gunpowder Plot, they were cancelled so the BBC could focus more on console games such as Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.
