Overview

The first story of 2020's Main Range output was Dark Universe, a Seventh Doctor story which tied-in with the beginning of Doom Coalition 1. The story saw the Doctor allying with Ace, Ollistra and Rasmus to capture the Eleven.

February's story, The Psychic Circus tied with the serial The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, featuring the return of both the chief clown and the Master.

The Sixth Doctor returned with companions Constance Clarke and Flip Jackson for a trilogy of four-part stories.^[1] This marked the first appearance of this TARDIS team since 2017's Static.

Notes

When announced, the cover for The Psychic Circus credited James Dreyfus for his role as the Master but this credit was removed before release.
The Lovecraft Invasion was meant to be released in June, however was not, due to a short delay in production.
