This is a character that I
created decades ago to join my Denys Fisher 4th
Doctor figure on his travels. Originally he was
a Vietnam soldier but his scale next to the
Doctor made him look like a child so that's what
he became.
When the Dapol Doctor came along, he
needed a companion so GI Joe Quick Kick
fitted the bill perfectly, becoming the
adult Wun Tun and appearing along side
the 4th Doctor in my toy videos.
Should he be needed, a 5" version is
already waiting to assist the 5" 4th
Doctor later in the year.
I love the Sontarans and always intended that
they would be used. However it was originally to be the 7th
Doctor and Ace who go on a mission into Sontara to alter the
Sontaran Clones' genetic make up producing a generation of
peaceful Sontarans.
As a short story, it was very quick to
edit. The Doctor's fake spaceships were created entirely
in photoshop. In retrospect the engines look like eyes
while the control room windows resemble teeth making the
ships somehow look a bit like the 4th Doctor. Perhaps
K-9 modelled them on his master.
The composite shot of the Sontarans
working on the Nova Device uses an image of a rifle I
found on the net.
Although not mentioned in the story,
this is obviously another Sontaran plan in their ongoing
war with the Rutans.
The inclusion of Wun Tun places this
story somewhere between Seasons 15 and 16 (After The
Invasion of Time, also featuring the Sontarans and
before The Ribos Operation)
After the story was edited I realised
that the Nova Device was a term used in Destiny
of the Daleks. The two are not related.
