Trail of the White Worm was the fifth story in the first series of The Fourth Doctor Adventures.
Synopsis
The legend dates back to Roman times, at least: a great White Worm, as wide as a man, slithers out of the rocks of the Dark Peak Gap to take animals, sometimes even children, for its food.
When the Doctor and Leela arrive in the wilds of Derbyshire, only to get caught up in the hunt for a missing girl, they soon discover that the legend of the Worm is very much alive – even now, in 1979.
Worse still, it seems that the Doctor isn't the only renegade Time Lord on the trail of this deadly and mysterious Worm…

- This is the first Fourth Doctor story in performed Doctor Who to feature the Master since DW: Logopolis in 1981.
- The Master stays true to form and initially adopts an alias. In this case, it is "Mwalimu," which is Swahili for "teacher" or "master."

Continuity
- Leela mentions that she has met Romans. (BFA: The Wrath of the Iceni)
- The Doctor notes that the Master has a slightly less "putrescant" appearance than when they last met on Gallifrey. This can most likely attributed to his own theory that the Master was able convert the energy from the Eye of Harmony and effectively heal himself, albeit partially. (DW: The Deadly Assassin)
