[[The TARDIS]] arrives at the [[Royal College of Surgeons]] in [[London]], [[England]] in the year [[1868]]. The [[First Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], and [[Vicki]] step out. The group has arrived to meet [[Thomas Huxley]], a friend of the Doctor's and [[evolution]] supporter. After attending his lecture, they meet with Thomas. Huxley is happy to see the group, but is soon called away. Thomas explains that he and some of his pupils must go searching the [[London Underground]] for a group of missing students. The Doctor convinces him to let them come along.

Some time later, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki arrive at the entrance to the London Undergrounds to help look for the students. They fins a fresh trail of footprints leading to a mysterious passage, covered in webs. Vicki begins suffering from headaches, something which last happened to her on [[Vortis]]. Barbara reminds her that they are far away from Vortis and that there can't be a connection. Suddenly, the group finds themselves surrounded by [[Zarbi]].

The group tries to fight them off, but the Doctor suggests against it, saying that going with them is the only way to find the missing students. Ian, Huxley, and the Doctor are split away from the rest of the group, who are given gold mind-control bracelets to wear. At the Doctor's suggestion, Ian and Huxley fight off the Zarbi and the trio escape.

After searching the tunnels, the Doctor finds the [[Animus]], who has reformed itself on [[Earth]] to get revenge on the Doctor. The Animus plans to take over Earth with an army of Zarbi drones, but before he can enact his plan he is hit by a [[train]] piloted by Ian.

The Doctor uses a portal to send the Zarbi home. After some debate, the Doctor convinces Huxley to keep quiet about what he has seen. Huxley leaves, noting that he hates leaving the Doctor alone. The Doctor notes that the Animus could not have reformed on its own, and that the portal used to bring it here was beyond its technological abilities. The Doctor suggests further investigation to his companions, but is shocked to find them missing.

[[Liz Shaw]] recalls the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] back to Earth, explaining that the Brigadier has been acting strange; he is sending UNIT men all around the world in random positions and acting surprisingly violent. The Doctor has soldiers hold him down, and under close inspection discovers he has been taken over by a [[Remoraxian]]. He builds a ray that frees the Brigadier from the creature's control and the Brigadier explains what happened.

He explains that he was infected at a [[UNIT Nautical Research Facility]] on the coast, and explains that the Remoraxians have taken it over. Not only have the creatures begun taking over people, they have also began to change the weather.

The Doctor uses a device to eject the Ramoraxian parasite.  He travels in Bessie and later the Whomobile to reach the UNIT sea base.  The Ramoraxian Prime wants to flood the world to make it suitable for his species.  Richard Nixon sends bombers to destroy England and the Ramoraxians.  The Brigadier and the Doctor convince the Ramoraxians that the people from Earth are cray and they head off in their ship.  The hooded figure appears and uses a [[Vortex manipulator]] to steal away Sarah Jane, Liz, and the Brigadier.

The story starts with [[Leela]], wearing the Doctor’s hat and working over a math problem presented by 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 his long scarf caught, and slams the Tardis door before the [[Judoon]] close 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 Celia.  They all travel to the museum where they see Curator Frez, a bald alien whose face looks like the Twilight Zone episode where the masks distort the faces of their wearers.  Celia 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 K-9 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 terraformed 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 K-9 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.  Crystalline insect-like creatures start to move.  Roget explains that when their crystal was removed, they went into a hibernation state.  The Doctor explains that now that the jewel is returned to its rightful rulers that the Judoon will withdraw.  Leela is sitting at a banquet table with three Judoon.  The Doctor offers them a jelly baby.
 
The hooded figure watches the Doctor through binoculars and uses the Vortex Manipulator to appear at the banquet.  He takes away K-9 and Leela before the Doctor’s startled eyes.
 
=== Issue 5 ===
 
Somewhere in a place between places, the hooded figure tries out a new weapon, which he uses on a fake TARDIS as a target; he then storms out and walks past all of the Doctor's companions that he has collected thus far.
 
Meanwhile the TARDIS materialises, and out steps the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan]], [[Adric]] and [[Nyssa]]. The Doctor is trying to replenish the TARDIS with [[Artron energy]] though they find themselves in the direct line of fire of a missile. They manage to run into a ditch where the [[Rutans]] are waiting. They take all three prisoner, and when Adric tries to fight back, a Rutan host tries to electrocute him, but is stopped by the Doctor.
 
The TARDIS has landed in the middle of a Rutan weapon test field, and the Rutans think that the TARDIS crew are [[Sontaran]] spies. The Doctor tries to explain but the Rutans believe that they are telling lies, and plan to exterminate them.
 
Adric tells them to 'get ready' and shoves the Rutans into one another, knocking them over. The crew uses this chance to escape, and race for the TARDIS. They're almost there when they are captured by a Sontaran scout fleet.
 
The Sontaran fleet brings the crew to their leader, Commander Strock. Who tells them that they have aggravated the Rutans. The Sontarans don't see the Doctor as a threat, especially since his 'soldiers' (AKA his companions) are nothing more than children.
 
The Sontarans get the Doctor to help them defeat the Rutan Hosts on what the commander has described as a 'worthless rock'; The Doctor spots a massive flaw in the Sontarans strategy and pleads that there must be an alternative to this worthless assault, but the Sontarans want to die as Sontarans; in the midst of battle in a full frontal assault.
 
The Commander sets out a squad to help the Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric back to the TARDIS as Strock and the other Sontarans lead into battle. All three make it to the TARDIS safely and the squad leaves to join the battle, screaming 'Sontar-Ha!'.
 
The Doctor tries to tell Adric about the 'Frog and Scorpion', and turns around to find Adric, Tegan and Nyssa unconscious and the Hooded Figure standing over them. The figure brags saying that he "let his friends down", and "put all three of them into harms way".
 
He then disappears, taking Nyssa, Adric and Tegan with him, The Doctor realises that this has happened before...

Prisoners of Time was a 12-issue comic book miniseries produced by IDW to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. Released monthly throughout 2013, each of the first eleven parts featured a different Doctor, which led up to the final, multi-Doctor issue in December.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Textless connecting covers
  • All twelve Cover A's connect to form an image of the TARDIS.
  • Although the comic stories from this miniseries originally had no titles, each of them received a title in the graphic novels.
  • Façades is spelled "Facades" in the contents of Doctor Who Archives: Prisoners of Time, but the beginning of Chapter 6 gives the established spelling "Façades".
  • Adam Mitchell kidnaps a total of 37 companions across the series. However, not all of them are present in each issue.
