Doctor Who Reveals The 7th Doctor Got A Time Lord Weapon By Beating Thor

Doctor Who has revealed the Seventh Doctor successfully acquired the plans for a Time Lord superweapon by beating the Norse god Thor in a gamble of Scrabble. Doctor Who may have been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest-running science-fiction TV show, but in truth, it’s far bigger than just that. The Doctor’s adventures are told in a range of other mediums, and even in bold transmedia initiatives such as the “Time Lord Victorious” arc.

Big Finish has been producing Doctor Who audio adventures since 1998, and they’ve featured multiple incarnations of the Doctor, with stars of both the classic series and the modern relaunch reprising their roles. But this week’s monthly adventure, “The End of the Beginning,” is a historic moment; it’s a crossover story with multiple Doctor Whos that brings Big Finish’s long-lasting Monthly Adventures range to an end. The story unites Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul McGann in a cosmic adventure that threatens to rewrite history when the Doctors stumble upon an ancient Time Lord superweapon.

Fortunately, the Seventh Doctor – ever the Machiavellian schemer – is on top of things. He reveals he has successfully acquired the plans to this Time Lord superweapon, albeit in a rather amusing way. Apparently he won them from a Norse Thunder God, but it took him quite a while because Thor was surprisingly good at Scrabble.

The comment is sure to delight old-school Doctor Who fans, because it’s something of an Easter egg to a story from Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor Who era called “The Curse of Fenric.” That story revealed the Doctor had beaten another monstrous deity, the evil Fenric, at a game of chess; the two were evenly matched, and after 40 days of stalemates the Doctor convinced Fenric he would win in just one move, but the Great Old One wasted away trying to figure out what that move was. It’s amusing to hear the Seventh Doctor is still engaging divine beings in games, even if this time he was forced to resort to Chess.

Amusingly, this isn’t actually the first time Doctor Who has mentioned Thor – and the reference contradicts the previous occasion, in Marcus Sedgwick’s novel The Spear of Destiny. This saw the Third Doctor encounter Thor, a human son of Odin, and the Doctor even suggested all the Norse legends were distorted tales of Viking warriors. Doctor Who Canon continuity has never exactly the seriess’ strong suit, of course – Doctor Who author Paul Cornell once noted on his personal blog that “not giving a toss about how it all fits together is one of Doctor Who’s oldest, proudest traditions, a strength of the series” – so the contradiction really doesn’t matter. It’s just great to imagine the Seventh Doctor playing Scrabble against a version of Thor; hopefully if Big Finish ever tells that story, they can hire Chris Hemsworth for the part.
