When Nicola Bryant leftDoctor Whoin the mid ‘ 80 , like a lot of affair in Doctor Who circa the mid ‘ 80 , it was kind of eldritch . One minute she ’s the 6th Doctor ’s companion , the next her head ’s shaved and a weird unworthy green slug humanity ’s go and implanted his psyche in her body . Rude ! But now , three and a one-half ten after , the show ’s essay to explicate what really happened .
Bryant ended her timeon Doctor Whoas Perpugilliam “ Peri ” Brown — a companion of both the fifth and 6th Dr. — during “ Mindwarp , ” the second storey in the season - long “ Trial of a Time Lord ” plot line that made up classic Doctor Who ’s 23rd time of year . It rather grimly propose that , with the foreign Mentor Kiv having put her through appall brain surgical process , the Peri we knew was forever lost , her storage and personality overwritten , and then her organic structure ostensibly killed by the warrior Riley B King Yrcanos — play by Brian Blessed — in a fit of rage .
Like I said , it was the mid ‘ 80s . It was weird .
Oh hello, Perpugilliam.Screenshot: BBC
Anyway , several Dr. Who audios and Scripture would go on to retroactively create a new ending for Peri , some propose that her remembering could be restored after all , and that having been left behind by the physician — consider her to be dead — she move the galaxy with Yrcanos , falling in love with him . Some see her pulled from clip by the Time Lords themselves , put back on Earth with all the memories of her clip with the Doctor , save their very first adventure together , erased . But now , 36 years after she left the screen , Nicola Bryant has returned to show what really happened … and to really promote a Blu - irradiation press release of the time of year before her exit .
Written and directed by Peter McTighe — who indite theAmazon - poking “ Kerblam!”for Jodie Whittaker ’s first appearance season—“The Eternal Mystery ” posits that Peri did indeed survived the result of her apparent death , and ultimately did spend part of her life with Yrcanos . But after he died , she vanish into the galaxy even reunited with the Sixth Doctor of the Church , but still return to pay tribute to her hubby every year .
This is n’t the first clip Doctor Who hasbrought back classic companionsfor these Blu - beam set , and not the first time the show ’s used the chance to catch up with what ’s happening in thepresent of a past associate ’s sprightliness . But even if it ’s a niggling unearthly this is being done for the “ amiss ” time of year , it ’s still gracious to see Bryant bring a small settlement to her peculiar exit from the show .
MD Who : The Collection – Season 22 , collecting the six serials from the show ’s 1985 serial , “ Attack of the Cybermen , ” “ Vengeance on Varos , ” “ The Mark of the Rani , ” “ The Two doctor , ” “ Timelash , ” and “ Revelation of the Daleks , ” is due for release sometime this year .
