Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama.

13 Dec 1989 · 47 min
In this part, the era of the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, is considered.

20 May 1996 · 86 min
In this part, the fourteen-year period following the cancellation of Classic Doctor Who is examined.

8 Feb 1969 · 50 min
John Julius Norwich's 1969 retelling of the story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the Aztecs. Hernan Cortes was the first and greatest of the Conquistadors of New Spain. His confrontation with Montezuma and the empire of the Aztecs in Mexico in 1519 was the moment when for the very first time, in all their power and might, the Old World and the New stood face to face. Cortes's achievement was extraordinary - no less than the defeat of an entire civilisation with only 400 soldiers at his command. But his victory would have been impossible but for one incredible fact - Montezuma believed that Cortes was his God, the Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl. John Julius Norwich recounts the extraordinary interplay of mythology and mounted warfare, of human sacrifice and brilliant strategy which led ultimately to the creation of Mexico.

The Second Doctor has been partially regenerated by the Time Lords as punishment for breaking the non-interference policy, but the process is stopped halfway, leaving the Doctor an amalgam of his second and as-of-yet future incarnation. The Doctor is sent on a mission which involves battling Daleks, where he sees many people die. Afterwards, he is sent to a void by a pair of Time Lords, where he finds his TARDIS. Inside he tries to leave, but finds the ship not working. He is suddenly granted by an old man in a suit, who reveals himself to be the Third Doctor — the man who the Doctor was meant to turn into. The Doctor prepares himself for the rest of his regeneration, and collapses in a chair. There, he completes his transformation. Awakening, he is greeted by one of the Time Lords on the TARDIS' viewing screen, who wipes the Doctor's mind of his knowledge of time travel and sends the TARDIS to Earth. There, the Doctor exits the TARDIS and collapses outside.

Another project was "Sutekh's Swap Shop" which also only ran for one episode after a child swapped a Bunty annual for an Osiran War Missile, with unpleasant results. Sutekh says that he has some photographs of the filming and gets up to get them, revealing a stage hand on his seat which he slaps away before saying to the camera that he's always doing it.

1412. The Ultimate Adventure
19 Aug 1989
Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure was a stage play that toured from 23 March to 19 August 1989. Jon Pertwee reprised his role as the Third Doctor for the initial run. The rest of the run saw Colin Baker take over as the Sixth Doctor, which included the visit to the Theatre Royal in June 1989. The show was written by Terrance Dicks, who was a writer as well for the TV series and so this show did have full BBC approval. At that time Sylvester McCoy was the seventh incarnation of the Doctor on TV, however the series was axed later in the year. It didn't return to our screens as a full series until 2005. Michael Grayson, Managing Director for the Theatre Royal at that time remembers the production, stating that it didn't have a particularly large audience. Probably indicative of the general waning support for Doctor Who at that time.
