“You can’t blow up a fictional character, Zoe.” Looking over many of Classic Doctor Who’s adventures, here’s our spoiler-lite reckoning with the Doctor’s ventures into Earth myths and legends, from the realm of pure fiction to the secret identity of Merlin, via a whole bunch of minotaurs and minotaur-like creatures. With so many stories to choose from on BritBox UK, this month’s column sorts through some of the stories that take a lead from mythology and all kinds of cultures, be they inspired by Greek, Roman, Norse or even English stories. Legends and mythology are a rich source of inspiration for all kinds of story, and Doctor Who is no exception.
