  Draconian (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike many "monster" races in Doctor Who, the Draconians were articulate and portrayed as having a sophisticated and advanced culture not unlike that of feudal Japan.
The Draconian Empire was a vast spacefaring feudal civilisation of reptilian humanoids, centered on the planet Draconia, with a society stratifed along class and gender lines (for example, females were not permitted to speak in the presence of the Emperor) that was bound by a strong code of honour.
The Draconian Empire dated back to at least the 21st century, when a space plague that afflicted their world was dealt with by the Doctor.

 Doctor Who LogBook - Video Spinoffs
Carole Ann Ford, who sharp-eyed Doctor Who fans will remember as the Doctor's first companion when the series launched in 1963, hams things up to an annoying degree - but her character is meant to be an irritating vamp, so it's not a violation of anyone's suspension of disbelief.
Doctor Who itself is guilty of borrowing some of the most famous plotlines in science fiction and horror history: huge chunks of the series' now-missing golden years of the late 1960s were lifted liberally from classic Universal monster movies.
DOCTOR WHO and all related characters and placenames are the property of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

 [No title]
For those who think I've gone mad ("gone"?!!), the frontspiece to the early editions of this novelisation states that the cover does indeed feature the face of the third Doctor, even though this is clearly not the case.
Gone are moments such as the Doctor fixing a spaceship in mid-space whilst a Draconian battle cruiser bears down upon it, or the Master flmailing the prison governor to release the Doctor to him.
It is not just the principles who stand out, with small characters such as Hardy and Stewart, the cargo ship pilots, both being brought to life and their eagerness to ensure the Doctor and Jo are arrested as Draconian agents is made all too clear.

When the Doctor realizes the nature of the threat, he sends a distress call to the Time Lords, but their power source is also being drained by the fl hole, and they can spare no help - aside from sending the Doctor's earlier incarnations into his own present.
As the TARDIS brings the Doctor and Jo into the fray, they discover that those raids are not all that they seem; the attacks are being carried out by neither Earth nor Draconia, but a third party trying to force the two worlds closer to the beginning of war.
The Doctor is outraged to discover that this third party is the Master, working with a hired band of Ogron mercenaries, but the Doctor's attempts to warn both the president of Earth and the royal house on Draconia go largely unheeded - until it is too late.

 Radley Balko on Richard Paey & War on Drugson National Review Online
Doctors today face fines,suspension, the loss of license or practice, the seizure of property, or even prison time in the event that drug cops (most of whom have no medical training) decide they are prescribing too many painkillers.
The larger issue, of course, is why a man who is clearly not an addict (he wasn't taking the medication to get high) and had a legitimate use for the medication wasn't given access to what he needed in the first place.
Nevertheless, under draconian drug-war statutes, these prosecutors could pursue distribution charges against him based solely on the amount of medication he possessed (the unauthorized possession of as few as 60 tablets of some pain medications can qualify a person as a "drug trafficker").
