- Ignoring the Brigadier's strict instructions, the Doctor decides to take the TARDIS on a trip into Earth's past. But this is no holiday — the Time Lord is investigating the disappearance of several scientists from the 20th century and all evidence points to a kidnapper at work in the medieval age.
