When they arrived on the [[planet]] [[Dido]], Barbara was pushed off a cliff by [[Bennett]], one of two surviving passengers of the crash landed Earth ship the ''[[UK-201]]'' as part of Bennett's plan to get away with his murder of the crew and many of the Dido people. The other surviving passenger [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]] brought Barbara to the ''UK-201'' after she survived her fall, but was upset when Barbara killed Vicki's pet [[sand beast]], [[Sandy]], thinking it to be dangerous.

The travellers stayed in a villa in [[Assisium]] near [[Rome]] in the year [[64]]. Ian and Barbara were taken as [[slave]]s by the slave traders [[Sevcherius]] and [[Didius]], with Barbara sold into [[Nero]]'s palace to serve Nero's wife, the Empress [[Poppaea]]. While at the palace, Barbara received a bracelet from Nero as a present. After believing Barbara had ambitions to become Empress, Poppaea tried poisoning Barbara, but was unwittingly saved by Vicki, who didn't know Barbara was in the palace. With the help of Ian, [[Tavius]] and [[Delos]], Barbara escaped, and Ian and Barbara returned to the villa before the Doctor and Vicki returned from their own adventures in Rome.
