Time Spiral

The Time Spiral was a mysterious phenomenon located in the Time Vortex. The Time Spiral was located somewhere near the end of the Humanian Era.

The Time Spiral could rip apart a TARDIS and anyone inside if it came too close. To deal with this risk, each TARDIS had a device fitted that caused it to materialise any time it came too close to the Time Spiral. However, the Doctor removed his at some point.

The Fourth Doctor, Romana II, and K9 were nearly destroyed by the Time Spiral. (PROSE: The Well-Mannered War)

When the time rotor stopped moving once, the Doctor worried that the TARDIS might have gone right through the time spiral. (TV: The Sun Makers)

Notes

• In the board game Race to the TARDIS, the Time Spiral is outlawed technology, which has been reactived by the Daleks. The TARDIS is hit by the phenomenon, which causes three key compliments to be scattered through time and space and the Thirteenth Doctor has to enlist her previous incarnations to help her find them.
