Plot
In the TARDIS, Peri shouts for the Doctor to help. He stands up from behind the console on a new incarnation having regenerated during the earlier turbulence in the time vortex. The TARDIS lands on a planet where the pair encounter a Cyberman baring a striking resemblance to Margaret Thatcher who has conquered the planet. After defeating her and liberating the people, the Doctor and Peri leave for more adventures.

References
- The story unexpectedly correctly predicted that the Sixth Doctor would regenerate on the floor of the TARDIS after extreme turbulence, later seen in TV: Time and the Rani.
Story notes
- While not strictly part of Doctor Who continuity, this sketch technically makes Lenny Henry the first black actor to play the Doctor. The first to do so in an official capacity, however, would be Daniel Anthony in The Sarah Jane Adventures serial Death of the Doctor in 2010 when he briefly played the Eleventh Doctor in place of Matt Smith.
Home video releases
The story was released on the VHS of The Curse of Fatal Death and the DVD release of Mindwarp.
