Synopsis

Battlefield by Terrance Dicks

Field-Major Sarg is in trouble. Trapped, wounded and alone on a battle-scarred planet, he is forced to accept he may die. But at least it will be a glorious death – or so he hopes.

Prisoner 451 by Miles Richardson

To be or not to be, that is the question! On trial for subversion, he faces the ultimate penalty. If only she knew the trouble she'd caused...

Scout Ship by Roger Stevens

A dying ship drifting in space. A pilot faced with certain death. Time may be relative... but it still runs out!

Story notes

• Mindgame Trilogy features the three characters who were captured by the Alien in Mindgame. It shows what became of them after their escape and return to their proper places in Time and Space.
• Toby Aspin, who played Field-Major Sarg in Mindgame, was unable to return his role due to other work commitments. The part was recast with John Wadmore.
• The storytelling style of Miles Richardson's Prisoner 451 – which features the Draconian Commander of Brigade Merq talking to camera throughout – could very well have been inspired by the BBC's monologue anthology series Talking Heads (1988-1998), written and created by Alan Bennett.
