Ace passed through Perivale to go to the funeral of her old friend Julian. Having completed that sad task, the Seventh Doctor takes her forward in time nearly half a millennium to the planet Heaven, on the border between human and Draconian space. It’s a neutral place for the two powers, and life is supposed to be peaceful, but various events suggest otherwise.

The Doctor is searching for a lost manuscript and can’t find it, but he has other things on his mind and seems lost in thought. Ace seeks distraction by contacting a group of Travellers who have been on Heaven for some time. On the planet, the paths of very different entities intersect, while its past seems to interest only archaeologist Bernice “Benny” Summerfield and a few other researchers engaged in an excavation.

The official announcement arrived that the episodes “The Nightmare Begins” and “Devil’s Planet” have been recovered, the first and third episodes, respectively, of the serial “The Daleks’ Master Plan,” which aired between December 1965 and January 1966. It was the longest serial in the entire classic “Doctor Who” series, with the First Doctor and Steven Taylor. Over a decade has passed since the last announcement of the recovery of lost episodes, which helps keep alive hopes that, as in this case, there are still missing episodes in private collections.

In this case, the passionate volunteer group Film is Fabulous found the episodes during one of their activities, where they recover old films from private collectors. These films are sometimes put up for sale, especially after the collectors’ deaths. You can follow their activities on the group’s website and even make a donation to support their activities.

The Seventh Doctor seems to be particularly burdened by the events he and Ace have recently experienced and feels ready to retire. He also thinks it may be time to separate from Ace. He takes her to the village of Crook Marsham in 1968 in search of peace.

What was supposed to be a holiday quickly turns into another dangerous adventure, as several people in Crook Marsham have died after seeing ghosts that seem very real. Actor Edmund Trevithick sees a monster that had appeared years earlier in the TV show “Nightshade”, which had brought him fame and success. The Doctor sees Susan.

Strange events are plaguing the Welsh village of Llanfer Ceirog. The local cops don’t seem particularly interested in solving these strange cases, or at least not all of them. Is there perhaps some connection to the stone circle in that area and the mythological Tír na nÓg?

The connection between the TARDIS and the Eye of Harmony is weakening to a dangerous level. The Seventh Doctor is aware that the TARDIS requires specific repairs, but he and Ace are brought to Wales. There, they discover the legend of the village of Dinorben, which disappeared centuries ago, and the stone circle.
