“Don’t get into a spaceship with a mad man. Didn’t anyone ever teach you that?”
While letting Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) fly the TARDIS something goes terribly wrong when the Time Lord’s craft is caught in a Magno-Grab by a salvage ship looking for scrap. With Clara still trapped onboard, lost in the maze-like bowels of the ship, The Doctor (Matt Smith) convinces the two brothers (Mark Oliver, Ashley Walters) and their android (Jahvel Hall) to help save Clara by offering them “the salvage of a lifetime” in exchange. After boarding with the salvagers, The Doctor activates the TARDIS self-destruct and locks them all aboard, giving them a half-hour to rescue Clara before they all die.

“There’s something on your back.”
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who we continue to look back at some old episodes of the series. “Turn Left” reminds us that our lives are defined by the choices we make, both large and small. Sometimes it’s the small, seemingly insignificant, choices that can have the largest impact. While traveling with The Doctor (David Tennant) to the planet Shan Shen, Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) has her fortune read by a mysterious woman (Chipo Chung) who is far less interested in telling Donna’s future than changing her past to prevent Donna from ever meeting The Doctor.

- Title: Doctor Who – The Mark of the Rani
- Wikipedia: link
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who we continue to look back at some old episodes of the series. Although Colin Baker‘s run as the Sixth Doctor was short, and not without its share of controversy, there are a few Doctor Who gems during his three-year stint on the show. One of the best, “The Mark of The Rani” pits The Doctor as his companion Peri (Nicola Bryant) up against not one but two evil Time Lords when The Doctor begins investigating a time distortion and a series of deaths (each bearing an unusual red mark) during the Luddite rebellion in the 19th Century.
Although she only appeared in two episodes of the series, the Rani (Kate O’Mara) is a fan favorite. Just as devious as the Master (Anthony Ainley), the Time Lord arrives in the coal town of Killingsworth to steal neurochemicals from the miners in order to continue her immoral experiments which have left the entire population of the planet Miasimia Goria without the ability to sleep. The Master and the Rani come to an uneasy alliance based on lies, deception, and blackmail, targeting The Doctor.
