Big Finish 4th Doctor 5.07 The Pursuit of History

Available to order from www.bigfinish.com

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.

In the far future, his assistant, Mr Dorrick is awoken by howling alarms. There is a problem with the Quantum Gateway.

In the TARDIS, the Doctor, Romana and K9 detect strange distortions in the Vortex, an energy stream coming from a strange creature called a Laan.

The threads of a plan centuries in the making are coming together. But who is behind this plan? And can anyone possibly escape when history is against them?

    It is nice to see Cuthbert as played by the simply wonderful David Warner back against the 4th Doctor. Plus does anybody know where series 5 of the Fourth Doctor Adventures fits in the continuity?

      Judging 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.
