The Mind Robber was the second episode of the series Tales of the TARDIS and was written by Pete McTighe and directed by Joshua M.G Thomas.
This story consists of two newly recorded scenes placed on either side of an omnibus version of the TV story The Mind Robber.
This episode is notable for featuring the televised returns of the Second Doctor companions Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot.
Synopsis
Jamie and Zoe meet again and remember their encounter with robots, clockwork soldiers and Medusa in a Land of Fiction governed by a mysterious master.
Plot
Jamie McCrimmon appears in the TARDIS, he asks where he is and a familiar voice responds to him. Zoe Heriot says she thinks it's the TARDIS and realising who each other are, the pair hug. Jamie and Zoe discuss the Time Lords wiping their memories and how they have regained their memories since they entered this new TARDIS.
Jamie and Zoe discuss the conspicuous absence of the Doctor before moving on to the subject of family. Jamie says that he has 5 daughter and 19 grandchildren. Zoe tells him about her son, a scientist that she subconsciously named James, after Jamie. Zoe says she married a man she met on Earth, in Australia. She reveals that she is in her third inauguration as president.
They discuss how their experiences with the Doctor still influenced them, all through their lives, even if they couldn't previously remember them. Zoe says that they keep the Doctor alive by telling their stories and the lights in the TARDIS whirl. Two chairs appear and the pair take a seat. They begin to discuss the time they went into the land of fiction and memories start to flood back...
As the memories fade, the two discuss the events of the story. Zoe says that this place has restored their memories for good. They settle down for another story and they begin to discuss the Ice Warriors and Victoria Waterfield. Zoe reassures Jamie that Victoria will have thought of him every day and they go quiet, reminiscing...
