With the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who about to film, the "classic" Doctors Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy are keen to be involved. But do they manage it?

One dark, wet November night in 1605, a group of men planned the most audacious act of terrorism England had ever known. The Gunpowder Plot failed, but why? Based on historical evidence we've made up, behold the controversial truth of what really happened.

The Stranger (Colin Baker) arrives on Earth with no memory of who he is or why he's there. However, two men on a secret mission seem to know his identity and the owner of a local bar/club seems to be hiding a secret in an upstairs room. Unsure of whom to trust or even believe, The Stranger must try and unravel the threads of his mysterious past...a past he may not want to remember.

In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

The Doctor is a Time Lord: a 900 year old alien with 2 hearts, part of a gifted civilization who mastered time travel. The Doctor saves planets for a living—more of a hobby actually, and the Doctor's very, very good at it.
