Summary
The Doctor rescues a young female executive on an alien planet.
Characters
- Fifth Doctor
- an unnamed woman
References
- The Doctor appears to be travelling alone in this story.
- In the 22nd century, the company the woman advises makes a discovery that helps change the course of an interspecies war. Presumably, it is an agent of the losing side which snatches the woman from her own time and abandons her on the alien planet in an attempt to change this, although this is never specified.
Notes
- The events of this story take place over eighteen months, from the Doctor rescuing the woman to returning her to her own time.
- Mention is made of a former companion named "Teela", but this is probably a typo.
Continuity
- The Doctor mentions Tegan as being one of his former companions, so the story appears to be at some unspecified point after TV: Resurrection of the Daleks, while either Turlough or Peri is presumably having a break from the TARDIS.
- The Doctor also mentions Leela, Zoe, Romana, Nyssa, and Victoria.
