"Unless the energy loss is stopped the whole the whole fabric of space time will be destroyed... We are being consumed."

 

Time itself is in peril! The three Doctors are united against an old enemy from the distant past of Gallifrey...

 

Vital cosmic energy is draining into a black hole and the Time Lords are under seige. The Doctor is their only hope but, trapped in the TARDIS, he's powerless. The only way out is to break the First Law of Time to let the Doctor help himself... literally...

 

This story was recorded to mark the tenth anniversary of the show and united past Doctors William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton with the then current lead, Jon Pertwee.
