Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Time - Flight





Doctor Who: 
Time - Flight 
By Peter Grimwade

“Now listen to me, both of you. There are some rules that cannot be broken even with the Tardis. Don't ever ask me to do anything like that again. You must accept that Adric is dead. His life wasn't wasted. He died trying to save others, just like his brother, Varsh. You know, Adric had a choice. This is the way he wanted it.”

To help them mourn and ease the pain of Adric’s death The Doctor decides to take Nyssa and Tegan to the Great Exhibition.  But as luck would have it the do not arrive where they intended but at Heathrow Airport mainly due to a time disturbance.   They are soon enlisted to help C19 to find their missing Concord.  Apparently Victor Foxtrot just disappeared off the radar and there is no trace of it anywhere.  The Doctor believes it has disappeared down a time tunnel and plans to follow the trail on another Concord with his TARDIS as cargo.

It appears that the other Concord with The Doctor in it did travel back in time but only Nyssa can see that they are indeed back in time.  The Doctor eventually gets everyone to break the spell and they do see the dead bodies that Nyssa has seen and a Citidal which is inhabited by Kalid who mumbles some spells that seems to control Plasmatons.  The Doctor believes the key to all this is in the Citidal and heads there with the Concord pilots leaving Tegan to look after Nyssa who is incapacitated by a spell by Kalid.  When the Doctor gets to the Citadel he finds the source of the power which is a Xeraphin sarcophagus.
