The Stolen TARDIS was a back comic story published in Doctor Who Magazine in 1979. It was set on Gallifrey and featured Plutar as the main character.
Summary
On Gallifrey, because of his support for interference in other worlds to defeat evil, Plutar is failed at the Time Lord Academy and sent to reconsider his views whilst working as a TARDIS technician. While working away in one of the TARDISes, an alien, Sillarc, arrives under cover. He uses a hypnotic image of a circus to set about stealing a TARDIS — the one Plutar is repairing.
Together they travel back in time (but not in space) and Sillarc tries retrieving a spare relativity differentiator from Plutar. Both of them make it back into the TARDIS, with Sillarc narrowly breaking through the doors, but upon returning to Gallifrey, Sillarc escapes alone in the TARDIS. He is shocked when the TARDIS reappears and he finds Plutar waiting for him with armed guards (having made use of another TARDIS). Sillarc's memories are wiped and he is exiled. In recognition of his great initiative, it is suggested that Plutar reapply to the Academy.

Notes
- This back up strip is introduced by the Fourth Doctor.
- The Fourth Doctor also appears in the closing frame of Part Three where it is revealed he has been watching the story on a video screen. He says to the readers: "What's that? Did Plutar become a Time Lord? Well... actually, the rest of his life story's on another tape, and I can't seem to find it at the moment... You know how it is... Ah well, another story for another day..."
