Shada
The Doctor has a spot of
unfinished business. Reunited with his old friends Romana and K9, he answers
a summons from Professor Chronotis, a retired Time Lord now living the
academic life in a Cambridge college.
But the Doctor isn’t the only visitor to Cambridge. Somewhere in the city is
the sinister alien Skagra, who is intent on stealing an ancient and
mysterious book brought to Earth by the Professor many years before.
What is Skagra’s diabolical masterplan? And who or what is the mysterious
Shada? To discover the truth, the Doctor and his friends must embark on a
perilous journey that will take them from the cloisters of Cambridge to the
farthest reaches of deep space, risking deadly encounters with a sentient
spaceship, the monstrous Krargs, and an ancient Time Lord criminal called
Salyavin. As the Doctor soon discovers, the fate of the universe hangs in
the balance…
Written in 1979, the original production of Shada was halted by industrial
action, and for many years the story remained unmade – until now. Featuring
an all-star cast headed by Paul McGann, and boasting an unforgettable script
by the great Douglas Adams, this legendary Doctor Who adventure is lost no
more!
This story takes place between
the TV Movie and Storm Warning.
This production is an extended, audio only, version of the serial that was
originally 'broadcast' on the Cult pages of the BBCi website.
