Doctor Who . A Town Called Mercy
Telesari, 7. Hooaeg, 4. Episood, Inglise, 2012. Aasta
The Doctor is one of a handful of survivors of his alien species, the oligarchic Time Lords of Gallifrey, who legend has it vanished from the cosmos at the climax of an intergalactic war with the evil race of mutant robot-like Daleks. As our hero explores the universe in a time and space Tardis capsule with various human companions, the Doctor learns that although he may not be quite as alone as he believed, there are few causes for celebration. A bitter enemy, the Master, is back with a vengeance, hell-bent on spreading death and chaos wherever opportunity beckons. For as the Doctor's fellow travellers discover, Time Lords have the power to cheat death, to regenerate and even switch gender, ethnicity and personality in the process. On the way, there are battles with evil monsters, power-hungry dictators and mad scientists, and encounters with key figures from Earth's history. But the Doctor has old enemies to face, with many unanswered questions from early childhood.
