The Blue Tooth (audio story)
The Blue Tooth was the third story in the first series of The Companion Chronicles. It was notable for being the only story as for 2017 in any Doctor Who medium to pit the Third Doctor against the Cybermen, notwithstanding The Five Doctors.
Publisher's summary
"I suppose that was one of the Doctor's most endearing qualities: the ability to make the bizarre and the terrifying seem utterly normal."
When Liz Shaw's friend Jean goes missing, the Doctor and U.N.I.T. are drawn to the scene to investigate. Soon Liz discovers a potential alien invasion that will have far-reaching affects on her life... and the Doctor is unexpectedly re-united with an old enemy...
