<p><i><b>The Celestial Toymaker</b></i> is the <a href="Doctor_Who_missing_episodes" title="Doctor Who missing episodes">mostly missing</a> seventh serial of the <a href="Doctor_Who_(season_3)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doctor Who (season 3)">third season</a> in the British <a href="Science_fiction_television" class="mw-redirect" title="Science fiction television">science fiction television</a> programme <i><a href="Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a></i>, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 2 to 23 April 1966.

</p><p>In this serial, the alien time traveller the <a href="First_Doctor" title="First Doctor">First Doctor</a> (<a href="William_Hartnell" title="William Hartnell">William Hartnell</a>) and his travelling companions <a href="Steven_Taylor_(Doctor_Who)" title="Steven Taylor (Doctor Who)">Steven Taylor</a> (<a href="Peter_Purves" title="Peter Purves">Peter Purves</a>) and <a href="Dodo_Chaplet" title="Dodo Chaplet">Dodo Chaplet</a> (<a href="Jackie_Lane_(actress)" title="Jackie Lane (actress)">Jackie Lane</a>) are pitted against a powerful adversary called The Toymaker (<a href="Michael_Gough" title="Michael Gough">Michael Gough</a>). The Toymaker separates the Doctor from his companions to play the Trilogic Game, while Steven and Dodo are forced to win a series of seemingly childish but deadly games before they can be reunited with the Doctor and return to the TARDIS.

</p><p>Only the last episode of this story, "The Final Test", is held in the BBC archives; the other three <a href="Doctor_Who_missing_episodes" title="Doctor Who missing episodes">remain missing</a>. "The Final Test" has been released on VHS and DVD, and the story has been novelised. A fully animated version was released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2024.

</p>

<p>An alien intelligence has invaded the <a href="TARDIS" title="TARDIS">TARDIS</a> and rendered the <a href="First_Doctor" title="First Doctor">First Doctor</a> invisible, leaving <a href="Dodo_Chaplet" title="Dodo Chaplet">Dodo</a> and <a href="Steven_Taylor_(Doctor_Who)" title="Steven Taylor (Doctor Who)">Steven</a> incredulous. They step outside into a strange realm where the Doctor reappears. They have come to the realm of the Toymaker, an eternal being of infinite power who sets games and traps for the unwary so that they become his playthings. The Doctor and the Toymaker have faced each other before, and the Toymaker abducts his old adversary to another place. The Doctor appears in the Toymaker's study, where he is given the Trilogic game, a ten-piece puzzle (similar to the <a href="Tower_of_Hanoi" title="Tower of Hanoi">Tower of Hanoi</a>) whose pieces must all be moved and remounted in a 1023-move sequence.

</p><p>Steven and Dodo face different challenges. The first are two clowns, Joey and Clara, full of childish tricks and a dangerous game of <a href="Tag_(game)#Blind_man's_bluff" title="Tag (game)">blind man's bluff</a>. The clowns are made to replay the game when it is clear they are cheating, and the second time round Joey loses his footing on an obstacle course and the challengers are transformed into twisted dolls on the floor. Steven and Dodo then venture down a corridor into another chamber with three chairs and a challenge from living playing cards, the King and Queen of Hearts, along with a Knave and a Joker. An adjoining room has a further four chairs, and Steven deduces that six of the seven chairs are deadly to sit on. Seven mannequins are provided to be used for testing on the chairs. The King and Queen play alongside them, and some of the mannequins are destroyed as seats are proven unsafe and eliminated. Dodo is nearly killed by a chair that almost freezes her into ice before Steven helps her stand up. The King and Queen are trapped when they sit in a chair which folds in on them.

</p><p>Steven and Dodo next meet the comical Sgt. Rugg and Mrs. Wiggs in a kitchen. They challenge them to hunt the thimble – the key to the exit door. Dodo finds the key inside the large pie which Mrs Wiggs was making. She and Steven depart and enter another room with a dancing floor. There they encounter the three mannequins not destroyed by the chairs, who transform into ballerinas and start to dance. At the far end of the floor is the TARDIS. Steven and Dodo get trapped as partners with two of the dolls and only free themselves by swapping their partners for each other. They pelt on to the TARDIS, but the police box is a fake.

</p><p>The Toymaker chooses Cyril the schoolboy to take on the Doctor's companions. Dodo and Steven find themselves in a vast game of <a href="Hopscotch" title="Hopscotch">hopscotch</a> against Cyril, who slips on a triangle he has <a href="Booby_trap" title="Booby trap">booby-trapped</a> and is electrocuted. Dodo and Steven thus reach the TARDIS.

</p><p>In the Toymaker's study at the same time, the Doctor is at the final stage of the Trilogic Game. The three friends are reunited, with Steven and Dodo sent into the TARDIS for safety while the Toymaker challenges the Doctor to complete the Game. The Doctor realises that when he makes the move and the Game is won, the Toymaker's domain will disappear – and the TARDIS with it. He orders the last piece to move using the Toymaker's voice from inside the TARDIS, allowing them to depart while the Toymaker's world is destroyed.

</p><p>The Doctor explains what he did to Dodo and Steven, and the team commemorate their victory with a bag of sweets given to Dodo by Cyril. The Doctor puts one in his mouth and immediately yells in pain...

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2></div>

<p>Working titles for this story included <i>The Toymaker</i> and <i>The Trilogic Game</i>. <a href="Brian_Hayles" title="Brian Hayles">Brian Hayles</a> was unavailable to do necessary rewrites, so then script editor <a href="Donald_Tosh" title="Donald Tosh">Donald Tosh</a> performed them. As Tosh would no longer be script editor by the time the story was transmitted, he agreed with Hayles to take the writer's credit, with Hayles being credited for the idea. After Tosh finished work on the scripts, his successor, <a href="Gerry_Davis_(screenwriter)" title="Gerry Davis (screenwriter)">Gerry Davis</a>, was forced to make further rewrites due to a budget shortfall. Tosh was unhappy with the rewrites and refused to be credited, while Davis could not take a credit because he was the series' script editor. As a result of this, Hayles was the sole credited author on the final serial, despite the fact that he had not worked on it in three months and the final scripts bore little to no resemblance to what he wrote. Davis adapted themes from "<a href="George_and_Margaret" title="George and Margaret">George and Margaret</a>", a popular play from the time in which the central characters are never seen as themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>William Hartnell was on holiday during the recordings of Episodes 2 & 3, "The Hall of Dolls" and "The Dancing Floor". Pre-recordings of his voice were heard<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in episode 2 and Albert Ward was a hand double (sporting the Doctor's ring) for scenes where the mostly invisible Doctor played the Trilogic Game throughout the story. The story was commissioned by producer <a href="John_Wiles" title="John Wiles">John Wiles</a>, who left the series before it was recorded after several clashes with William Hartnell. Hartnell’s contract was due to expire at the end of this serial, and Wiles intended to replace Hartnell in the role of the Doctor during the story, having the character reappear in a new guise after the invisibility was removed by the Toymaker. The BBC's head of serials, <a href="Gerald_Savory" title="Gerald Savory">Gerald Savory</a>, vetoed the idea and extended Hartnell’s contract, leading to Wiles quitting in protest.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>All episodes of this story except Episode 4, "The Final Test", are <a href="Doctor_Who_missing_episodes" title="Doctor Who missing episodes">missing</a> from the <a href="BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a> archives.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Only audio recordings and production stills survive from the first three episodes, as no <a href="Tele-snaps" title="Tele-snaps">tele-snaps</a> were captured. Wiles opted not to use John Cura's services during his tenure, which has led to many visual elements of Wiles' stories being completely lost. This serial is one of the more well-documented of Season 3's broadcast without tele-snaps, so more photographs of these elements survive than the preceding stories, including the sets, costumes and actual colour of everything.

</p><p>In 1985, during the routine examination of its film archive, the <a href="Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation" title="Australian Broadcasting Corporation">Australian Broadcasting Corporation</a> discovered a 16mm film print copy of "The Final Test" in Australia, and promptly returned it to the BBC.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p><a href="Donald_Tosh" title="Donald Tosh">Donald Tosh</a>, script editor during Hartnell's tenure as the Doctor, later stated that, although never addressed onscreen, the Toymaker was intended to be a member of the Doctor's own race, the then-unestablished <a href="Time_Lord" title="Time Lord">Time Lords</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p><a href="BBC_Television" title="BBC Television">BBC Television</a>, the producers, received complaints from lawyers acting on behalf of the late <a href="Charles_Hamilton_(writer)" title="Charles Hamilton (writer)">Frank Richards</a>' estate. The character Cyril (played by <a href="Peter_Stephens_(actor)" title="Peter Stephens (actor)">Peter Stephens</a>), who was fat and wore glasses, was said to bear a remarkable resemblance to fictional schoolboy <a href="Billy_Bunter" title="Billy Bunter">Billy Bunter</a>.

</p><p>The BBC's Audience Research Report on the final episode found that it "had little appeal for a large proportion of the sample, over a third of whom actually disliked it." Some found the episode to be lacking in action and it was also criticised for 'ham' acting, although other viewers had enjoyed the cast's performance. The audience sample mostly found the story as a whole to be too different from the usual <i>Doctor Who</i> story format, being more of a whimsical fantasy. The most critical viewers dismissed it as "ridiculous rubbish"; others said that although disliking it themselves, their children had enjoyed it.<sup id="cite_ref-episodeguide_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-episodeguide-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The serial was positively received by Patrick Mulkern of <i><a href="Radio_Times" title="Radio Times">Radio Times</a></i> who said the first episode was "undoubtedly a fantasy classic". Mulkern thought that Michael Gough did not get much screen time in his role as the Toymaker, but "exudes menace ... and has that fabulous voice." The review also praised Dudley Simpson's musical score, and the "excellent" costume and design.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>A novelisation of this serial, written by <a href="Gerry_Davis_(screenwriter)" title="Gerry Davis (screenwriter)">Gerry Davis</a> and Alison Bingeman, was published by <a href="Target_Books" title="Target Books">Target Books</a> in June 1986.
