Draconian (Doctor Who)

The Draconians are a fictional extraterrestrial race from the planet Draconia. They were featured in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Their only television appearance to date was in the 1973 serial Frontier in Space. Unlike many "monster" races in Doctor Who, the Draconians were articulate and portrayed as having a sophisticated and advanced culture like feudal Japan. In his 1996 memoir of his time on Doctor Who, written just before his death, actor Jon Pertwee cited the Draconians as his favourite of all the monsters he had encountered during his time as the Third Doctor. rdf:langString
