A little boy is taking a bath. He is nervous that someone might come in, but then he hears a reassuring voice in the hallway. The TARDIS crew is enjoying a rare holiday on the Isle of Wight. The beach is deserted, as most people are indoors watching the Moon landing of 1969. Jamie and Zoe play in the sand and water. The Doctor decides to get an ice cream. On the way, he encounters the boy, and they talk. The boy is not interested in the moon landing. The Doctor thinks the boy should tell his parents where he is, and the boy heads for home. Suddenly he is hit by a car, and the Doctor sees that his legs are broken beyond repair.

The Malgarians are known as a vicious, belligerent species - so when the TARDIS brings the Doctor and Peri to their homeworld, they are puzzled to be greeted by a pacifistic population.

Peri assumes the Doctor has just got his facts wrong, but he is reluctant to accept the Malgarians’ uncharacteristic behaviour. What lies behind it, and what is the secret of the Sisters of Serenity?

How many lives has the Doctor had? Perhaps more than you think...

Follow the Doctor and his companions as they take short trips around the universe — perhaps to a Wild West overrun with dinosaurs, to a land where robot rabbits roam, or a planet where the Doctor must marry or die — and then step sideways into other universes — worlds full of song and dance; planets made entirely of sweets; lands of movie monsters; places where the Doctor as we know him may never have existed at all...
