A lava flow interferes with the TARDIS. To save the ship, the Doctor sends it sideways through time, into a realm of utter insanity. Unusually heavy on special effects and camera tricks for a 60s Doctor Who story.
Sun 9:25-11:20AM GMT Time-Flight movie
Adric's death haunts the crew as they blunder their way into the investigation of Concordes that have gone back through time. Guest starring Matthew Waterhouse as Adric (deceased).
