Purification was the second story in the audio anthology Purity Unleashed, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Chris Chapman and featured Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush and Imogen Stubbs as Patricia McBride.
Publisher's summary
The Doctor and Mel follow the trail to a port in New Zealand, 1910. A ship is being prepared for a journey to Antarctica and the Doctor realises that this is Captain Scott's Terra Nova expedition. But this is merely the beginning of an intricate scheme to rewrite the future of humanity.
Plot
Part one
The Doctor and Mel detect a chronomatic time signature of the person responsible Hebe's disappearance in Lyttelton, New Zealand in 1910 and, upon realising that they have arrived on the day that Terra Nova leaves for Antarctica, the Doctor suspects that the person intends to meddle with Robert Falcon Scott's future. They are forcibly removed from the ship before they can get an audience with Scott and learn that deckhand Thomas Rodden suddenly decided not to go on the voyage, a decision for which they deduce that the person they are looking for is responsible.
Having paid Thomas £200 to disembark Terra Nova, Patricia travels forwards in time to 1911, by which time he has become a chauffeur, and sets up a meeting between him and Martha Curtis, a woman whom he would otherwise never have met. Patricia then heads off for her next target.
The Doctor traces the signature and uses the Time-Space Visualiser (which has no record of Hebe) to view Thomas's life, seeing how he was supposed to board Terra Nova and die after falling overboard onto the ice. He and Mel travel to Hull in 1916 and detect Time Vortex debris which leads them to Patricia, who has come to save Thomas, Martha and their daughter Elizabeth's deaths in a bombing and denies being responsible for Hebe's disappearance. After saving the Roddens, Patricia heads to Cambridge 1929 and the Doctor and Mel go after her.
