C109 Shada

Creative disarray, an abundance of tea, and a ball bag are but some of the treats on offer in this legendary unfinished serial * * * A handful of reasonably young chaps are asleep aboard the Think Tank research space station, when a particularly nefarious one among them — Skagra — awakens and uses a silver orb to absorb all of their brain power in a first step of an equally nefarious plot to find and release the greatest Gallifreyan criminal of all time, Salyavin. Meanwhile, The Fourth Doctor and Romana II are enjoying a punt down the Cam as they’re about to visit the in-no-way-related-to-said-nefarious-plot, Professor Chronotis, a bumbly Mr Magoo with a penchant for tea and a tendency to misplace potentially universe-destroying tomes of Gallifreyan lore. When one such book goes astray, and Skagra coincidentally arrives to purloin it for himself, all hell breaks loose. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
