Doctor Who:
The Time Warrior
By Robert Holmes
“I've got it! It's one of
those tourist places. A medieval castle all restored to its original condition,
with jolly banquets and buxom serving wenches. That's it, isn't it? Mind you, I
think you've overdoing the sordid realism a bit. I mean, I know things were a
bit grotty in the Middle Ages, but, really, you might leave the tourists a bit
of glamorous illusion.”
UNIT has been called in to
investigate why scientist have been going missing from a top secret scientific
research complex. It appears the scientists have been disappearing
without a trace and no one seems to know where they have gone to. It seems like they have disappeared in thin
air. The Doctor makes a rhondium sensor
to help him detect time signatures and alerts him if those signatures are
present. While incognito The Doctor meets a journalist named Sarah Jane Smith
who is using a pass that her Aunt has given her to use while she is away in
America.
The Doctor also meets an
eccentric scientist named Rubish who seems to like using the TARDIS as a chalk
board to do use calculations on.
Unknown to The Doctor and The Brigadier the reason all the scientist are
disappearing is that a Sontaran named Linx is using an Osmic Projector to move
ahead in time to snag the scientists and bring them back to the Middle
Ages. Linx has crashed on Earth during
the Middle Ages and is the guest of Irongron. Irongron is an evil ruler of his
lands and is thirsty for war. Linx has
promised him weapons in return for a place to repair his ship.
The Doctor’s rhondium
sensor detects Linx stealing another scientist this time being Rubish. He quickly sets the TARDIS to follow the
trail and to hopefully return the missing scientist. Unknowing to him he has a stow away as Sarah
Jane finds herself in the TARDIS and back into the Middle Ages also. Sarah is in for a big shock when she realizes
where she is and then accuses The Doctor of being the one responsible. Hopefully with the help of Hal the Archer and
Sarah Jane The Doctor can free the scientist and defeat Linx.
