EarthWorld

Author: Jacqueline Rayner. BBC Eighth Doctor Adventure #43. Release Date: March 2001.

TARDIS Crew

The eighth Doctor, Fitz Kreiner and Anji Kapoor.

Travel Log

EarthWorld tourist park, planet New Jupiter, unspecified point in the future.

Chronology

Immediately after Escape Velocity. From Anji’s point of view, EarthWorld takes place on February 14, 2001 – the date she left Earth (Escape Velocity). For Fitz, less than a week has passed since The Ancestor Cell.

Summary

When the Doctor promises to get Anji home to Soho, 2001, the TARDIS misses Earth entirely and materializes, in the future, on the colony world of New Jupiter. Once there, the TARDIS crew quickly find themselves in “EarthWorld” – a theme park featuring androids of historical figures. New Jupiter President John F. Hoover, a lover of Earth culture, hopes the park will bring his colony an inrush of badly needed tourist dollars. Unfortunately, some of the androids malfunction, murdering various park visitors before EarthWorld’s grand opening.

The Doctor decides to question President Hoover’s triplet daughters – Asia, Africa and Antarctica – as they designed many of the androids. However, the Doctor discovers – to his horror – that the brilliant, albeit psychotic, triplets are re-programming the androids to commit murder, purely for sport. The triplets continue wrecking havoc, but eventually, the Doctor convinces a noble “Sir Lancelet” android (see Places to Go) to round up the three killers.

Soon after, the Doctor finds the triplets used a “Memory Machine” to endow their androids with human brain patterns. The Doctor discovers the device contains memory prints belonging to the triplets’ mother, Elizabethan, thereby learning a laundry list of Hoover family secrets. As the Doctor discovers, Elizabethan long ago inseminated herself with DNA samples from Hanstrum – the president’s chief technician – when Hoover proved infertile. Unfortunately, Elizabethan’s genetic tinkering split her single child into three, leaving the triplets dangerously unstable. Moreover, when Elizabethan tried to confess her wrongdoing, Hanstrum attacked her, placing her in a coma.

An exposed Hanstrum goes berserk, shooting the Memory Machine to ruin Elizabethan’s memory prints and cover up his crimes. The resultant explosion kills Asia, prompting Antarctica to vengefully gun down Hanstrum. Afterward, the Doctor links the somewhat-damaged Memory Machine to the TARDIS, hoping to download Elizabethan’s memory prints into her comatose body and restore her to life. Even better, Anji proposes the Doctor also use the Memory Machine to undo his own mental blocks, thereby regaining his past.

Fitz turns aghast at the thought of the Doctor remembering his act of genocide (The Ancestor Cell) and quietly implores the TARDIS to protect the Doctor from himself. Accordingly, the TARDIS lets the Memory Machine restore Elizabethan, then shorts the device beyond repair. Elizabethan awakens, determined – along with Hoover – to give their two remaining daughters the care they need. Still oblivious to his past lives, the Doctor departs with his companions.

Memorable Moments

New TARDIS companion Anji considers that she’d rather read Sense and Sensibility than face scary robots, because it’s better to be bored than die. She also ponders getting an “I’m a main character. Don’t kill me” T-shirt.
