The Curse of Fenric
Book

"IF THIS IS A TOP SECRET NAVAL CAMP, I'M LORD NELSON!"

Ace has a poor opinion of the security arrangements at Commander Millington's North Yorkshire base - and she's less than comfortable in 1940s fashions. But the Doctor has graver matters on his mind.

Dr Judson, inventor of the Navy's ULTIMA code-breaker, is using the machine to decipher the runic inscriptions in the crypt of the nearby church.

Commander Millington is obsessed with his research into toxic bombs that he insists will hasten the end of World War Two.

A squad of the Red Army's crack Special Missions brigade lands on the Yorkshire coast with instructions to steal the ULIMA device - unaware that Millington has turned it into a devastating secret weapon.

And beneath the waters at Maidens Point an ancient Evil stirs...

The Doctor uncovers mysteries concealed within vilainous plots - but what connects them all to a thousand-year-old curse?

The Curse of Fenric
by Ian Briggs

The Doctor and Ace are put to the ultimate test when the tardis dematerialises in Second World War England at a top-secret naval base. The army church, built on Viking graves, bears inscriptions calling for the wolves of Fenric to return for their treasure. Thereafter evil will reign ... Even as the Doctor translates the words hideous corpses rise from the sea, the evil Fenric now free to summon his wolves to a killing rampage.

With a new slant on Dr Judson, and a more substancial confrontation between the Ancient Haemovore and the Doctor, this special extended production of The Curse of Fenric brings additional excitement to the story originally broadcast - good standing against evil with only the Doctor to play the final moves ...
