The Paradox Planet (audio story)
The Paradox Planet was the third story in the fifth series of The Fourth Doctor Adventures, and the first part of a two-parter.
Publisher's summary
Whilst travelling in the vortex, the TARDIS is struck by an advanced war machine - a Time Tank! Losing Romana, the Doctor and K9 pursue the Tank to Aoris, a world quite literally at war with itself.
Soldiers from the future are attacking the past of their own planet - gathering resources and stealing endangered species. But the past is not without weapons of its own - leaving deadly devices ready to trigger many years ahead after their enemies have been born.
Trapped at opposite ends of a temporal war, the Time Lords have two time zones to save. But who is in the right, and who in the wrong? And when history itself is against you, can anybody actually win?

Notes
"Released March 16 2016, this audio only Dr. Who adventure features the voice of deceased actor Tom Baker reprising his role as the fourth incarnation of The Doctor. Only by means of legitimate time travel is this posthumous addition to the catalogue made possible. While in the series The Doctor and his companions travel through time with seemingly no ill effects, temporal movement as effected with current technology most often results in striking changes to the traveler's physicality. These changes include alteration of skin pigment and hair color, desication of extremities, osteoinpositus and severe acne among other signs. It is due to these changes in physicality that a video component to this new adventure was deemed inappropriate."
