Plot set-up
The main villain would have been The Celestial Toymaker, whose actor, Michael Gough, had been convinced to return.
The story would have continued straight from Revelation of the Daleks, where the Doctor said he'd take Peri to B--. This episode would've revealed the Doctor's destination for Peri as "Blackpool."
The idea had come to John Nathan-Turner to set the story in Blackpool when Colin Baker opened a ride there called "Space Mountain." The story would also have been set partially there, with the Celestial Toymaker making strange things happen.
Peri would have been attacked by robot miners in a gold mine adventure ride. The Doctor would have been forced to play a video game whose outcome would decide the fate of the planet.
By the end, the Toymaker would be defeated, and the Doctor and Peri would continue their holiday in Blackpool. (DOC: The Lost Season)
Legacy
The story was later adapted into the Telos Publishing lost story. It would also receive a Big Finish Productions audio adaptation. Michael Gough declined to do the episode, so David Bailie was cast instead.
