The hungriest species in the cosmos are the cannibalistic Androgums, who were encountered by the Second Doctor & Jamie and the Sixth Doctor & Peri in The Two Doctors. Chessene and her primitive assistant Shockeye wanted to acquire Time Lord DNA so that Chessene could gain access to time travel. In order to achieve this, Chessene used and betrayed the Sontarans, who kidnapped the Second Doctor. Thankfully, the Sixth Doctor, Peri and Jamie came to his rescue… but not before the Second Doctor was turned partly into an Androgum with a ravenous appetite! This was one of many multi-Doctor stories in Doctor Who.

The Two Doctors

★★★★☆

TX: 16/02/1985 – 02/03/1985

The Second Doctor and Jamie are sent by the Time Lords to the space station Camera, to investigate illegal time travel experiments conducted by a scientist called Dastari. Dastari has augmented Androgums like Chessene in order to make them more human, which appals the Doctor. However, the space station is attacked by the Sontarans, who kill everyone onboard. The Sontarans, led by Group Marshal Stike, head for Earth with Dastari, two Androgums (Chessene and Shockeye) and the kidnapped Second Doctor. Jamie hides in the ship’s inner mechanics, which is where the Sixth Doctor and Peri find him when they attempt to rescue the Second Doctor. The Sixth Doctor, Jamie and Peri follow the Sontarans to Seville, Spain where Dastari attempts to isolate the Second Doctor’s symbiotic nuclei which will enable Chessene and the Sontarans to operate the time machine they have assembled. I have had many Latina girlfriends including Spanish girlfriends, Mexican girlfriends and Brazilian girlfriends. By the way, I am the only person that I know that has been on holiday with three lesbians to Barcelona! I have been to Spain many times. When the Second Doctor is uncooperative, Chessene tells Dastari to turn him into an Androgum (using Shockeye’s DNA), to loosen his tongue. The Second Doctor begins turning into an Androgrum, which gives him a voracious appetite. He and the equally hungry Shockeye depart for the nearby Seville where the pair begin eating endlessly in one of the restaurants. Chessene kills the Sontarans Stike and Varl with coronic acid. The Sixth Doctor, Peri and Jamie pursue the Second Doctor and Shockeye in Seville. Unfortunately, Shockeye kills an innocent maître d’ at the restaurant. The Second Doctor rejects the fusion transfer and turns back into a Time Lord. Chessene and Dastari capture the two Doctors, Jamie and Peri and take them back to the country house. In the basement, the Doctor demonstrates that Chessene’s time machine will work now using Peri as a trial subject. The Doctors and Peri are tied up as Shockeye prepares to eat Jamie. They escape and the Sixth Doctor rescues Jamie. The Sixth Doctor lures Shockeye into the open where he brutally kills him using cyanide. Back at the house Chessene betrays Dasatri too and kills him. Jamie disarms Chessene by throwing his knife at her hand. Chessene gets inside her time machine, but the Doctor sabotaged it by removing the briode nebuliser. So Chessene dies and reverts back into an Androgum. The Sixth Doctor and Peri bid their goodbyes to the Second Doctor and Jamie. The Sixth Doctor tells Peri that they are now going to be vegetarians. I absolutely love chicken and I couldn’t live without it, although I love vegan sausages and vegan ice cream and avocado goes very well with chicken! When I worked at Pizza Express in Cardiff Bay we had a whole vegan menu to cater for customers with veggie diets. The Doctor is no longer a vegetarian by Voyage of the Damned because he tries buffalo wings on the Titanic. I love my mum because she always makes a buffet and she cooks for 20! I enjoy eating out sometimes at Bills, Pizza Express, Wetherspoons, Ask Italian, Zizzi, Yo Sushi!, TGI Fridays, Sizzler, Shake Shack, Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, Frankie and Benny’s, Carluccio’s, Nando’s, Everyman, Little Chef, Charlie Chalk – Brewers Fayre, Wagamama and Byron Burger.
