Robert Holmes: Difference between revisions

 

These aren't just ''any'' stories though. Included in his work are some of the all-time classics of the show, including:

 

Yep, this is the guy who gave us the Autons and the Sontarans... and, as if that weren't enough, wrote some of the first appearances of some of the best companions.

Many of his plots have a formula--crippled super-villain tries to regain power--but they vary widely from that initial idea. Holmes was very fond of [[Those Two Guys]]: many of his stories are advanced by a double act of supporting characters. His Holmsian Double Act in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", showman Jago and police pathologist Litefoot, were so popular that a spinoff was briefly considered, and eventually realised in 2010 by [[Big Finish]].
