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…

Plot

Part 1

The Doctor and Leela arrive to their destination to meet a curious sight. Tracks lead into the forest, that appears to be made by some kind of long slithering-beast. Leela steps in mucus, which she realizes is from the large beast, which the Doctor accidentally steps in as well. Soon enough, men arrive with vicious dogs, which are hunting the scent of the beast now on the Doctor and Leela. They escape into the woods, after the tracks of the beast. The men try to hunt them down in order to interrogate them.

Part 2

Notes

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)

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
