Story: Trying to prevent the assassination of
the President of the High Council of Time Lords, the
Doctor returns to his home planet of Gallifrey and finds
himself embroiled in politics and conspiracies. In search

of computer supported mental energy, and soon finds himself
squaring off against one of his oldest enemies.
One of the most outstanding classics of the series,
this story re-wrote Time Lord mythology and has become
a cornerstone in the understanding of the Doctor Who universe,
(not to mention foreshadowing a certain Wachowski Bros. film
by about 23 years).

The story was not scored until the mid-1990's,
when the existing footage with added special

and released on video. The story has never been
shown on or syndicated for broadcast television.

Full Circle
4 episodes
Story: After dropping through a freak hole
in space, the Doctor, Romana, and K9 find themselves
on the planet Alzarius in a pocket universe known as
E-space. The planet's bizarre orbit has taken it into
a tranformational period known as Mistfall, when Marsh
creatures rise from the swamp, and atmospheric changes

Adric and his rebelious teenage gang who sense lies
in the old legends, the Doctor soon uncovers a trail
of secrets about the Alzarians, but can he piece the
puzzle together and save the Alzarians before the
Marshmen overrun the ship?

Story: A visionary leonine creature
named Biroc brings the TARDIS to a white void,
