On a brisk winter’s morning in 1850s Yorkshire, Cuthbert, head of the intergalactic business known as ‘The Conglomerate’ prepares to hijack a very special train.

July 17th, 2016 - 2:57pmJudging by what Romana has been wearing on the covers, these stories fit in between Destiny of the Daleks and City of Death or throughout different parts of season 17. Season 6 of the fourth Doctor adventures will all take place before the E-Space trilogy in season 18.
