Six-part sci-fi adventure starring Tom Baker. In this instalment, the Fourth Doctor (Baker) races to recover a powerful book, the Artefacts of Gallifrey, stolen from retired Time Lord Professor Chronotis (Denis Carey). Meanwhile, Skagra (Christopher Neame) tries to discover the location of the lost planet Shada, which houses a high-security prison, so he can extract the knowledge of the most dangerous criminals in the universe. Will the Doctor and his companion Romana (Lalla Ward) be able to stop him from creating his desired universal mind before it’s too late?
Delicate matter, slightly. It’s about a book… Chris Parsons is happily engrossed in studying post-graduate physics at Cambridge, when one day he finds an old book, sitting on a dusty shelf in an ageing professor’s library. Written in a language nobody can read and made of a paper that can’t be torn, this is no ordinary book. And when it enters his life, everything changes for young Chris Parsons. Soon finding himself aboard an invisible space-ship, chased by monsters made of molten rock; aboard an alien prison on a distant planet and attacked by a horde of mind-control zombies. Chris also meets a strange man with a very long scarf who claims he can travel through time and space… in a police box. It’s going to be a busy day for Chris Parsons. An abandoned Doctor Who classic is brought to life. Starring Tom Baker and written by Douglas Adams, this is Shada for a modern audience, with footage upscaled to high definition, and incomplete footage now completed using high-quality animation.
