Synopsis
Returning from Skaro by means of the Time Ring, The Doctor, Harry and Sarah find themselves back on Space Station Nerva but millennia earlier, where a lethal infection is spreading through the crew.
Notes
- This story was shot on the same set as The Ark in Space representing a substantial cost saving. It was also shot in the production block immediately after Ark, explaining why the production code is out of broadcast sequence.
- This serial forms part of a continuous series of adventures for the TARDIS crew, beginning from the end of Robot and continuing through to Terror of the Zygons, although the Virgin Publishing novel A Device of Death takes place in a possible gap between Genesis of the Daleks and Revenge of the Cybermen, and BBC Books' novel Wolfsbane is set in another such gap between Revenge and Zygons.
