City of Death, a Tom Baker-era tale of time travel, intrigue and holidays in Paris dashed off in a weekend will get lengthier consideration by author James Goss
Douglas Adams’s celebrated Doctor Who script City of Death, written over the course of a weekend after the producer, in Adams’s words, “took me back to his place, locked me in his study and hosed me down with whisky and black coffee for a few days”, is being turned into a novel by the author James Goss.
Featuring Tom Baker as the Time Lord, City of Death aired in 1979, and remains one of Doctor Who’s most popular serials, watched by over 16 million viewers when it was first broadcast. It finds the Doctor on holiday in Paris with Romana – played by Lalla Ward – and embroiled in the alien schemes of Count Scarlioni. Splintered into multiple aspects when his ship exploded over primeval Earth, the villainous count has been attempting to guide the planet towards inventing time travel ever since, so that he will be able to go back, and save his ship.
