Synopsis
Philip Hinchcliffe,
acclaimed producer of Doctor
Who (1975-77) returns to tell new stories for the
Fourth Doctor and Leela.
"The starting point
was there were a few basic ideas that were kicking around for
another series, had we made it," says Philip. "I thought this
project would be fun to be involved with, and I've tried to and
tell stories that are in the same spirit as the ones Robert Holmes
and I were telling."
The Ghosts of
Gralstead (Six episodes)
The Doctor and Leela return to Victorian London, in the year
1860.
At St Clarence’s Hospital, respected surgeon Sir Edward Scrivener
requires the bodies of the dead… At Doctor McDivett’s Exhibition of
Living Wonders and Curiosities, miracles are afoot… And in
Gralstead House, the ghost will walk again. Mordrega has come to
Earth…
The Devil's
Armada (Four episodes)
The TARDIS
lands in Sissenden
Village in the sixteenth century. Catholic priests are hunted,
so-called witches are drowned in the ducking stool, and in the
shadows the Vituperon are watching… and waiting…
