SOLAR SYSTEM STORIES
Doctor Who stories that take place in or around the planets of the Solar System.
* Although no stories are set on Venus, it has featured heavily in the mythos of Doctor Who. The popular Mars-Venus Games were broadcast across the Solar System in the year 4000 (The Daleks’ Master Plan). The First Doctor and Susan once saw the metal seas of Venus (Marco Polo). The Dalek alliance planned to conquer Venus (Mission to the Unknown). Mavic Chen ordered Carlton to take a party (of soldiers presumably) to Venus (The Daleks’ Master Plan). Duggan had floating flower seeds from Venus (The Wheel in Space). The Third Doctor knew Venusian measurements and proverbs (The Time Monster), said you should ‘never trust a Venusian shanghorn with a perigosto stick’ (The Green Death) and was well versed in Venusian aikido and lullabies. The Fourth Doctor had a pilot’s licence for the Mars-Venus rocket run (Robot). Venus was the first obstacle in the race for Enlightenment (Enlightenment). The Tenth Doctor had a toothbrush containing Venusian spearmint (The Shakespeare Code).
** Home planet of the Fendahl. The Time Lords placed the planet in a time loop, its existence wiped from history.
*** Uranus was the source of the rare mineral Taranium, mined by Guardian of the Solar system Mavic Chen to power the Daleks’ Time Destructor.
WELCOME TO GALLIFREY
‘Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver, and when they caught the light every morning, it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came, the breeze would blow through the branches like a song.’
The Doctor, Gridlock
