(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
-Hello. -Hello.
If you're a Doctor Who fan, I'm sure you recognise those aliens.
But what you may not know is those six are Doctor Who's top six opponents.
Yeah, they have all survived at least two conflicts
with the famous time traveller.
Well, it was certainly very difficult for us to decide
how to celebrate Doctor Who's 20th anniversary.
There have been 601 episodes, with five Doctors and 25 assistants,
including, of course, Peter Purves, who was Steven, a spaceship pilot,
before he joined Blue Peter.
But the characters that have been the most popular
and made the most impact, apart from the Doctor, of course,
have been the Daleks.
Exterminate!
No. No. No, no, no, you don't understand.
You see, we're here just to wish you happy birthday.
I don't want to be exterminated!
You are the Doctor, you are an enemy of the Daleks.
No, no. I'm Peter Duncan,
and if you just hang on there before you exterminate me,
you can see the historic moment in 1963
when you confronted the Doctor for the very first time.
You will move ahead of us
and follow my directions. This way.
Well, having defeated the Daleks,
the Doctor was then confronted by the Cybermen.
Now, they came from the planet Mondas, Earth's twin planet.
And they converted all the fleshy parts in their body to cybernetic parts
and removed emotions from their brains.
Their mission was to increase their race by converting humans into Cybermen,
and not surprisingly, all four Doctors they've battled with
have tried to wipe them out.
Here's the moment when the first Cybermen appeared in 1966.
(WIND HOWLING)
In 1 967, the new Doctor was faced by the dreaded Yeti,
evil, vile, creeping thing that it was.
And they were controlled, of course, by the formless Great Intelligence,
who tried to use them to create a body for himself.
Here's what happened when a Yeti chased Doctor number two
around the ancient London Underground.
(BEEPING)
(BEEPING INTENSIFIES)
If you were watching Doctor Who 12 years ago,
you'll remember this Axon.
They masqueraded as golden humanoids,
but in actual fact, they were these vile, evil, tentacled monstrosities
whose aim was to land on planets and suck them dry.
And when the infamous Master offered them the possibility of time travel
in return for destroying Earth and the Doctor,
this is how they revealed their true form to the Doctor's assistant, Jo.
Bill?
(SCREAMS)
Well, a year later, Doctor number three
came against something even more primitive.
The Sea Devils. They inhabited the Earth at the time man was an ape.
And when the moon first appeared, they went into hibernation
because they thought it would collide with the Earth.
Now, they're not really evil,
but when they awoke, they believed the Earth was still theirs
and mankind was still apelike.
Now, they've appeared in two stories
trying to retrieve the Earth for themselves,
and once they captured Doctor number three and the wicked Master.
(SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE)
What's the meaning of this? I'm your ally.
I helped you. I helped you!
In 1975, it was the turn of the Kraals,
the monsters from the planet Oseidon, who threatened the Doctor.
Now, their planet became so radioactive,
they tried to capture the Earth
and destroy humanity using a deadly virus.
Now, their plan was to do a replica of an Earth village on Oseidon
with androids as humans.
Luckily, Doctor number four interrupted their plan,
but not before he was subjected to a brain drain.
Your brain tissue will expand under the stimulation
until, eventually, your skull bursts.
I imagine it will be a most disagreeable death.
We shall see.
Defiant to the end, Doctor.
Well, here are all these horrible creatures gathered together.
And if you'd like to see some more of them,
there's a special Doctor Who anniversary programme this Friday
at 7:20 on BBC One.
And as a special bonus, in the 20th anniversary programme,
there will be included a brand-new alien.
The Raston Robot.
It isn't armed.
Quick! Over there.
Their armaments are built in
and sensors detect movement, any movement.
-Anything else I shouldn't know? -Yes, they move like lightning.
What's it doing?
Playing with us.
Freeze, Sarah Jane.
If you move, we're dead.
Hmm, wouldn't like to meet one of them in a dark alley.
Well, the celebrations for the 20th anniversary
actually began last Easter at Longleat, when a huge special exhibition was held.
The exhibition was attended by 60,000 people.
And their donations have provided
this superb Doctor Who minibus for handicapped children.
And Doctors One and Five are driving it into the studio now.
(HORN HONKING)
I'm glad he doesn't drive the Tardis like that, he's making a lot of noise.
Here he is, Doctor Five and Doctor One.
Hello. Oh, they've gone to see their adversaries, I see.
Hmm, checking them out.
Cybermen.
A dog.
Not met her before, have you?
Welcome to Blue Peter, Doctors One and Five.
-Welcome to you, from the Time Lords. -Thank you very much.
Bit of a change from the Tardis, isn't it, this?
Ah, yes, it is.
But who will be actually using the minibus?
It's the children of the Gurney School in the East End,
and there are about 1 00 of them,
and they'll be using it for day outings,
visits to Doctor Who exhibitions, things like that.
Wonderful. Is there going to be a special presentation ceremony?
Oh, yes, indeed there is, tomorrow morning.
That's marvellous. I'm sure the children will be absolutely thrilled.
Many congratulations, not only for all the funds
that have been raised for the minibus, but also your 20th anniversary.
Thank you.
Now, then, which of you will destroy the aliens
in the 20th anniversary programme?
I will.
BOTH: We will.
I see, it's the old problem.
You'll just have to watch on Friday night to find out.
