The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Leela to a colony world in the distant future – but they are not the only visitors to this place. The people of this planet are seeing the ghosts of their lost friends and relatives. And the ghosts are stealing people.  

Trapped in the middle of an escalating conflict, the Doctor and Leela investigate the source of the spirits and find a diabolical machine, a terrible secret... and a foe long since forgotten.

Producer David Richardson said: “This is proper Philip Hinchcliffe Doctor Who! There’s a fascinating cast of guest characters, brilliant world building, and a terrifying villain for the Doctor and Leela to battle. Told over six episodes, this is huge storytelling in the style of The Seeds of Doom or The Talons of Weng-Chiang – a chance to immerse yourself in a rich and vivid fantasy world for 150 minutes!” 

Writer John Dorney added: “Marc Platt and Philip Hinchcliffe are two of the most inventive minds who’ve ever worked on Doctor Who, so it’s always a thrill to see what they come up with when they put their heads together. And this story’s no exception, an epic tale plunging into new and unexplored areas of the Whoniverse and offering further fascinating layers to its lead...”
