material.
"You mean, the world's going to end and you'd forgotten about it?"
"I've been busy."
"How long have you known?"
"Well in strictly linear terms, as the chronometer flies, I've known
since November 23rd 1638."
It is November 23rd 1988. Lady Peinforte and her loyal servant Richard
have travelled from the year 1638 for this moment. Herr De Flores' freams
of establishing the Fourth Reich rest on this point in time. The Cybermen's
planned invasion of Earth is scheduled for the same time. The link between
the three? The statue Nemesis, fashiioned from validium - the living metal
first made by Rassilon on Gallifrey and capable of bestowing the power
of life or death on any indicidual. Can the Doctor and Ace prevent its
awesome power from falling into any of their evil hands?
Produced by John Nathan-Turner Directed
