Synopsis[]
At the very edge of the universe, the TARDIS materialises on an ageing spacecraft, the R1C. On board, the Doctor and Leela meet Jackson and his crew, who are doggedly pursuing their mission to recover the Minyan race banks from a ship which left their home planet centuries earlier.
Closing in at last on the P7E, Jackson risks everything to follow the trail into the heart of a newly-formed planet. Can the Doctor help Jackson face his greatest challenge yet, and secure the future of the Minyans?
