For their first script in Big Finish’s Fourth Doctor range, writers Cavan Scott and Mark Wright were asked to construct a ‘Sontaran horror story’ set during Tom Baker’s final TV season.
“And it was supposed to be a horror story about the Sontarans,” Cav explains, “so what would be horrific for them? Basically, the Sontarans are waging war, and they’re on a planet where they’ve had to resort to trench warfare against an enemy. Sontarans have the Viking ‘glory in death’ mentality – if you die in battle, that means you’re a good Sontaran – so when we played with ‘What’s horrific to a Sontaran?’, the answer was: there’s no honour in death anymore, and there’s no honour in battle, because it’s a battle that goes on and on forever.”
