Doctor Who Television Review: The Creature from the Pit

Title: The Creature from the Pit  Story Number: 106 Season: 17 Screenwriter: David Fisher Director: Christopher Barry Thoughts: This perhaps may be the campiest Doctor Who story of all time, which is saying something.  It also competes with The Curse of Peladon for “Excellence in Phallic-looking Creature Design.”  And Tom Baker had to know what he was doing when he put his lips near that…

Doctor Who: The Creature from the Pit

I rewatched this serial on 31 March 2023. I last watched it a few years ago with friends who were watching all of Doctor Who from the start… Oh, and we have a new actor providing the voice for K9 — David Brierley — who lends an archly camp tone to the character. It is wholly appropriate for this season in the stories in which the “tin dog” appears.

We begin on an alien planet where women rule. Meanwhile, in the TARDIS, K9 is reading a Beatrix Potter book to the Doctor until Romana spoils the ending! How rude. She’s also doing a bit of junk removal and they discover an emergency transceiver and receive a distress call. Of course it’s coming from the planet where women rule and the Doctor is captured. I adore how the locals immediately assume Romana is boss. While the Doctor meets the Lady Adrasta, Romana meets a bunch of men involved in banditry and desperately seeking metal. 

This serial is not to everyone’s taste, but I think it’s fun in an absurdist and sneakily naughty way. I mean, who buys the story that Erato’s phallic design was entirely an accident? Especially with the femdom aesthetic of Adrasta and her people.
