[net.tv.drwho] What happened to Chameleon?

omsi@reed.UUCP (OMSI) (02/10/85)

Perhaps I missed it, but at the end of the first Peter Davison season
he picked up a creature called Chameleon (away from the Master).  The
second season is now being shown here, but no Chameleon.  What happened?

	Kameleon is tucked away in the bowels of the TARDIS...he makes
another appearance towards the end of the season....

Just wait and see:

(I'll tell you, but I'll put it on the next page so that
it doesn't spoil it for you: stop now if you don't want to
know)



















You see Kamelion once again in Planet of Fire, the second-to-last
Davison story:  At the beginning of the story, you hear an
electronic whail, and see him in agony in the TARDIS (in the
room next to the Console room).  Later, you see that the
Master, in trying to build an even more deadly Tissue-Compression
Eliminator, has accidentally used it on himself and has gone
to Sarn, the "Planet of Fire," to be "decompressed" by the
restorative blue flames.  Meanwhile, he gets control of
Kamelion again, and tries to use him to start the flames
in the inside of the mountain.  Fortunately, the Doctor
comes at just the right time, and partially frees Kamelion
from the Master's control, but Kamelion doesn't trust himself
and tells the Doctor to destroy him, which the Doctor does.

Also, in Caves of Androzani, when Peter Davison is regenerating
into Colin Baker, the Doctor sees images of all his companions,
of which Kamelion is one, telling him not to die.

Does this answer your question?

Kamelion, as he is called, reappears in "Planet of Fire."  In the book, we
are told that the Doctor dislikes the "Tinpot Jeeves" so much that he
gives him a room and leaves him there.  He was supposed to be written into
a scene of "The Awakening," but was left out because of time.

Don't give up on Chameleon, as he reappears (very surprisingly) in
the third (last) season of Peter Davison, so stay tuned...
