DWDVDF 87

The Doctor, Romana, Adric and K-9 try to help Biroc, a time-sensitive Tharil, free his people from a slave ship in the void between E-Space and N-Space. But can Biroc be trusted, since the Tharils were themselves once the cruel masters of human slaves? What is the ancient gateway that stands in the void? Who are the mechanical horrors that lurk in the banqueting hall? And which of the four TARDIS travellers will never make it out of E-Space?

Notable information[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana's adventures continued after she left the Doctor in E-Space (in Warriors' Gate). She returned to Gallifrey in the novel Blood Harvest (1994), she became President by the time of the audio drama Shada (2003), and even Russell T Davies head writer wrote in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 that President Romana had brokered the first negotiations of the Time War.
Records show that the planet Marinus was located in the Voora Marini group, a distant star system. Other records suggest that Marinus eventually became Mondas, Earth's twin planet, and that the Voord evolved into Cybermen.
The Teselecta was also known as Justice Department Vehicle 6018. It was crewed by four hundred miniaturised human beings.
The original title sequence of Doctor Who (first seen in 1963) was created by Bernard Lodge using a technique known as "howl around" video feedback and a pen torch.
