== Publisher's summary ==
Our yearlong celebration of ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s 50th anniversary continues! Put on your [[The Doctor's scarf|scarves]] and munch on some [[Jelly baby|jelly babies]], as the fan-favourite [[Fourth Doctor]] takes the spotlight in this issue of a 12-part epic adventure featuring all 11 incarnations of the Doctor!
 
== Plot ==
[[File:Priosners of Time 4 2.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Fourth Doctor]] and Leela witness the Judoon's patrols]]
The story starts with [[Leela]], wearing the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s [[hat]] and working over a [[math]] problem presented by [[K9 Mark I|K9]]. The Doctor promises to take Leela a banquet on the farmworld [[Agratis]]. He also mentions the [[Jewel of Fawton]] that has brought tourism to the world. They exit [[the TARDIS]] to find the world covered by armoured vehicles and rockets. The Doctor rushes them back to the TARDIS, gets [[The Doctor's scarf|his long scarf]] caught, and slams the [[TARDIS door]] before the [[Judoon]] close in on them.
 
K9 reports that he has found transmissions that indicate that the Judoon were called in because the Jewel of Fawton was stolen. The Doctor travels back to the [[planet]] to see his friend [[Mason Vox]] and his daughter [[Cilia (Prisoners of Time)|Cilia]]. They all travel to the [[museum]] where they see [[Frez|Curator Frez]]. Cilia reveals to her father that her boyfriend, [[Roget]], had stolen the jewel. The Judoon will rip apart the planet, but the Doctor hopes to find Roget, the jewel, and restore it to its proper place. The Doctor sends Leela and K9 to distract the Judoon while the others go after the jewel.
 
They travel to wind carved caves that resemble something out of 127 Hours’ Canyonlands National Park. Mason Vox and Curator Frez explain that the world was harsh until they found the jewel, and [[terraform]]ed the planet. They enter some crystalline caverns and Mason falls. Switch to topside at the city, where Leela leaps to the top of one of the armoured vehicles. She pops into the hatch and the next moment, the Judoon is seen hurtling out of the door.


Leela picks up two explosive bandoliers and has K9 pilot the vehicle as she kicks down a Judoon riding a hover bike. Then, she passes under the legs of a Judoon scout walker and uses the explosives to destroy its legs. Back in the cave, the Doctor uses his long scarf so Mason can pull himself up. They find the young Roget; he is busy placing the jewel back where it was found, with Curator Frez not wanting him to activate it Total Recall style.
