Iier in the middle of watching Terminus on tape and I just finished Mawdryn Undead. In both of these episodes, references are made to Turlough's planet, as if he wasn't from Earth. Also, he seems to know quite a lot about TARDIS terminology, as he gives a lot of mumbo-jumbo technical gobbldygook in response to a comment by the Doctor, reminiscent of Romana. Where is Turlough from? Is it supposed to be a mystery, or have I missed the boat and he is really from that school in England? -- Jonathan Dubman - care of: Mort Dubman AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!ihuxn!mort Naperville, IL.

Turlough's origin is hinted at in 'Frontios' where he remembers the Traktaters (sp?) having also been on his home planet. Two episodes later, in 'Planet of Fire' the whole story comes out. His family were among the rebels on his home planet and he was sent to Earth as punishment for crimes not fully explained. That is also the episode in which Peri joins the Doctor, who regenerates in the following episode. The local PBS station just showed these recently, but stopped with 'The Caves of Androzani'. The BBC must not have released the entire 21st season. I guess we'll get 'The Twin Dilemma' when the 22nd season is released. Tony Andrews ...ihnp4!sdcrdcf!bmcg!asgb!tony

The origin of Turlough is a mystery even to the Doctor. You haven't missed the boat he is not from Earth as eluded to in many places. His true origin is discovered in one of the final Davidson episodes the title escapes me at the moment. Zarth Arn drutx!zarth

I believe the title you are looking for is "Planet of Fire",
the story before where Davison leaves.
