The series centred on [[Minister of Chance|the eponymous Minister]], who was introduced in Freedman's [[Seventh Doctor]] webcast ''[[Death Comes to Time (webcast)|Death Comes to Time]]'', and his involvement in court intrigue on the planet [[Thea (planet)|Thea]].
 The eponymous main character, the Minister of Chance, is portrayed and characterised consistently with his debut appearance in ''Death Comes to Time''. Although in this series he was played by [[Julian Wadham]] rather than [[Stephen Fry]], initial promotional material for the series explained this by describing him as a "defrocked [[Time Lord]]" "now in his second [[regeneration]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120222121719/http://ministerofchance.com/ '''''The Minister of Chance''''' website via the Wayback Machine]</ref> The events of ''Death Comes to Time'' are alluded to as a tragedy in the Minister's past, and following from the Seventh Doctor's revocation of his [[TARDIS]] in that story, the Minister travels through time and space by "the scientific [[formula for doors]]".
