The final story of the original TV series. Ace, prodigal child of Perivale, returns home. It is not a cheerful reunion. Her friends are vanishing one by one, and a psychotic cat is lurking the streets. Guest starring the animatronic cat model better known as "Salem" on Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

UK Gold's new Doctor Who package begins with the 3rd Doctor era. Meteorites are arriving in clusters in rural England. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of U*N*I*T thinks the meteorites are the harbinger of something dangerous. He thinks he may have some evidence when a familiar spaceship disguised as a police box arrives at the scene of the meteorites. The ship is the property of The Doctor, a very strange man. But the occupant of the ship bears no relation to the man he knows, even though he remembers the Brigadier. Could the Doctor have found a way to change his appearance, and get on the Brigadier's nerves more than normal? A new era begins.
