Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in five thrilling brand new adventures, with Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey and Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.
The Doctor’s return to Nest Cottage lands him in trouble when a key
component from the TARDIS disappears. Mrs. Wibbsey is unwittingly responsible,
having exchanged it for a bag containing four curious objects. It seems that
each one is a clue, and the beginning of a chase through Time.
With the TARDIS not working properly, the Doctor and his housekeeper embark
on a dangerous journey to Roman Sussex, nineteenth-century Paris, the snowy
mountains of Eastern Europe, and 1970s New York. Along the way they collect
their old friend Mike Yates, and together the trio face the elusive, demonic
being who keeps luring them on in their quest. It soon becomes clear that a
trap has been laid for the Doctor—and a place reserved at his ultimate
destination ...
Tom Baker stars as the Doctor, with Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey, Richard
Franklin as Mike Yates, and a cast including Nigel Anthony, Finty Williams,
Samuel West, Jan Francis, Carole Boyd, Lorelei King, and Trevor White, in
these five linked stories written by the acclaimed Paul Magrs.

“Writer Paul Magrs proves adept at capturing the feeling of any era or literary genre, while also playing up to the strengths of his cast members. His Fourth Doctor is as much a reflection of Tom Baker’s own madcap personality as it is of his screen personae as the Time Lord.”
