A mysterious phantom armed with futuristic weaponry appears at Auderly House, where Sir Reginald Styles prepares for a vital peace conference. Called in to investigate, the UNIT team—led by the Third Doctor and Jo Grant—discover evidence of time travel and a potential plot to sabotage the conference.

The Doctor learns the intruders are guerrillas from a war-torn 22nd century, convinced that Styles will ignite a global conflict. When Jo is accidentally transported to their devastated future, the Doctor follows—only to find Earth enslaved by the Daleks and patrolled by brutal Ogrons.

In the Dalek-ruled future, the Doctor is captured by the human Controller and interrogated under Dalek orders. Escaping with the guerrillas, he learns their mission: travel back and kill Styles before the peace conference. But their actions may be dooming history rather than saving it.

Racing back to the present, the Doctor realises the explosion blamed on Styles is destined to be caused by the guerrillas themselves. As Shura prepares to detonate his bomb at Auderly House, the Doctor must avert catastrophe, ensuring the peace conference survives—and erasing the Dalek-ruled timeline forever.

Without the Professor, the Doctor and Romana are forced to think on their feet. But what large invisible object lurks nearby?

Fully reconstructed, feature‑length version of Douglas Adams’ unfinished 1979 Doctor Who story, combining all surviving live‑action footage of Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor with newly created animation and freshly recorded dialogue from the original cast. This 138‑minute restoration presents the adventure as a single continuous film rather than the originally intended six‑part serial, seamlessly bridging the gaps left by the 1980 BBC strike and finally delivering a complete narrative of the Doctor’s battle against the enigmatic Skagra and the secrets of the Time Lord prison planet, Shada.

The story revolves around the lost planet Shada, on which the Time Lords built a prison for defeated would-be conquerors of the universe. Skagra, one such inmate, needs the help of one of the prison's inmates. He finds nobody knows where Shada is anymore except one aged Time Lord who has retired to Earth, where he is a professor at St. Cedd's College, Cambridge. Luckily for the universe, Skagra's attempt to force the information out of Professor Chronotis coincides with a visit by the professor's old friend, the Doctor.

The Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough are drawn off course by a mysterious time corridor linking 20th-century London to a derelict space station in the far future. On Earth, a police squad investigates brutal murders near the corridor’s exit. Meanwhile, on the space station, a Dalek task force prepares to break through quarantine and free their creator Davros from cryogenic suspension. The Doctor decides to investigate the corridor’s origin — and narrowly avoids a Dalek ambush.

On the space station, the Doctor and his companions are captured by human troopers battling the Daleks. The Daleks release a deadly virus to wipe out the humans, forcing the Doctor to bargain for his life. On Earth, disguised Dalek duplicates infiltrate the police force, killing and replacing key personnel. The Doctor learns the Daleks’ plan: to retrieve Davros to cure them of a lethal space plague and help them conquer the galaxy. Davros, awakening from centuries of stasis, secretly schemes to overthrow the Dalek Supreme.

Davros begins manipulating the station crew, turning them against the Dalek Supreme’s forces. The Daleks unleash more duplicates on Earth, planning to replace the entire High Command. The Doctor is coerced into creating duplicate versions of himself and his companions, destined to assassinate members of The High Council of the Time Lords. Tegan and Turlough sabotage the duplication machinery, but the Daleks regain control of the station and capture Davros, intent on transporting him to their fleet.

Chaos erupts as Davros releases the Movellan virus, killing the Daleks and loyal station troops alike. The Doctor tries to stop both sides, but Davros escapes in an escape pod, vowing to build a new Dalek army under his command. The Doctor destroys the station to prevent the spread of the virus, barely escaping with Tegan and Turlough. Returning to London, Tegan, shaken by the relentless death and destruction, tells the Doctor she can no longer travel with him. The Doctor watches silently as she walks away.

In 2986 AD, aboard the space liner Hyperion III, Doctor and Mel arrive responding to a distress call; communications officer Edwardes is found incapacitated, and the Hydroponics labs are hiding strange plant pods. The Doctor and Mel begin investigating missing pieces: “Demeter seeds” have been stolen, and someone deep in the ship is trying to keep secrets. Suspicion mounts when a passenger whose identity seems familiar dies under strange circumstances.

More people disappear or are killed; the plant pods have been tampered with and the Vervoids—sentient plant creatures—are unleashed. Mel gathers clues via the hydroponics centre; the Doctor uncovers evidence of sabotage among the scientists Bruchner, Doland, and Professor Lasky. Alongside the plant threat, tensions rise among the native species aboard the ship (the Mogarians), and the threat becomes existential: the Vervoids intend to eliminate animal life for their own survival.

The Doctor and Mel strive to find a solution as the Vervoids rampage. Ruth Baxter, once human, is revealed to be partially transformed by the Vervoid biology. Lasky attempts negotiation but is betrayed; the Vervoids claim to have no alternative but to kill—or be killed. On top of that, mutinous activity among the crew and alien collaborators threatens the ship. The Doctor works toward a radical plan involving rare metal vionesium.

With the Vervoids’ threat fully unleashed, the Doctor uses vionesium to force the plants into their natural death cycle under light and oxygen. The final confrontation sees the Vervoids withering and dying; those survivors aboard Hyperion III escape the carnage. The Doctor and Mel depart in the TARDIS, leaving a ship badly shaken but saved—and the moral cost of extinguishing a sentient species unspoken in this version.

The TARDIS is attacked by the Rani, causing a crash‐landing on Lakertya. As the Sixth Doctor regenerates into his Seventh incarnation, he falls victim to post-regenerative confusion and is tricked by the Rani—disguised as Mel—into helping repair mysterious machinery. Meanwhile, Mel is separated and makes first contact with Lakertya natives, including the rebellious Ikona, while trying to flee from the Rani’s minions.

Still suffering from amnesia and deception, the Doctor is manipulated by the disguised Rani—forced to fix her machine without knowing its purpose. Mel and Ikona attempt to uncover more of the Rani’s plot, navigate through traps, and rescue local allies. The true nature of the machine begins to come to light: kidnapped geniuses, strange matter, and a time-manipulating brain.

Mel is captured; the Doctor is drawn deeper into the Rani’s scheme as he comes to distrust the false “Mel.” He discovers the Rani’s fixed-trajectory rocket aimed at a strange-matter asteroid. The machine, powered by the minds of trapped scientists and guided by this collision, could transform Lakertya into a Time Manipulator with catastrophic consequences. The stakes rise as trust is betrayed, and Beyus makes difficult choices to delay catastrophe.

The Doctor and Mel rally the Lakertyans to sabotage the Rani’s doomsday machine before it reshapes time itself.

The Doctor and Mel arrive at the stylish Paradise Towers expecting luxury, only to find gangs, filth, and murderous robots lurking in its broken halls.

The Doctor is condemned under bizarre caretaker rules, while Mel encounters cannibal elder residents and the building's decay grows ever more grotesque.
