The series had Erimem living in modern dayLondon with a group of close friends, sometimes travelling to other times and places using a time machine called the Habitat.
Erimem was largely divorced from Erimem's period in Doctor Who, with Erimem forgetting all of her life from around the beginning of The Eye of the Scorpion to the moment just before she appears in the first Erimem novel, The Last Pharaoh. As of January 2018[update], The Eye of the Scorpion is the only Doctor Who story from which Erimem has derived elements; however, elements from the non-Doctor Who stories The Coming of the Queen and Return of the Queen have been included (such as Carra Wilton, Kerides, and Adrea).
