Drunken Time Travel

1st, 2nd, 3rd, Jo, and The Brig

"The Time Lords are in crisis. A powerful force is draining their energy into a mysterious black hole - and they must recruit The Doctor to save them. But one Doctor isn’t enough for this mission... 

 

All three of The Doctor's incarnations, aided by Jo Grant and UNIT, must face the wrath of Omega - a fallen Time Lord trapped for millennia in a universe of anti-matter. Driven mad by his exile, Omega now has just one thing on his mind - revenge..."

It's the end of Patrick Troughton's run as The Doctor, so we take a short look back at his run and answer a few listener questions.

Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe

I've completely forgotten what we talk about but I'm pretty sure it covers the last half of this epistory.

The TARDIS has Materialised in a world of trench warfare and poison gas: the western front, 1917. In the chaos and paranoia of the First World War, The Doctor and his companions are separated from their ship, captured and court-martialled. The death sentence is swiftly pronounced.

...and now the conclusion

This week we find another excuse to talk about the Daleks,

where the Gav's would like their breath to spend time. Barb Wire, and really anything we can think of that's not talking about Space Pirates. But whatever you do [SPOILERS], don't watch The Space Pirates.

"The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe become victims of piracy when they materialise on a space beacon, minutes before it is literally blown to pieces. So begins their quest to be reunited with the TARDIS, whilst treading perilously across the paths of the interstellar space corps and a gang of murderous bandits.

 

The eccentric prospector Milo Clancey gives the travellers passage in his ageing spaceship, but the old man is himself the focus of space corps investigations. Could he possibly be behind the destruction and salvage of so many beacons in the sector? What is the position of Madeleine Issigri, who runs her father's mining corporation on the planet Ta  - and how might a locked room provide the answer to this mystery?"
