Big Finish, Fourth Doctor Series
So Romana is grabbed by a Laan and dragged in to the Time Vortex, almost suffocating in the process. Shows up on a space station and begins to figure out just what’s going on, no thanks to Mr Dorrick, the power crazed little dude with some serious ego issues. Meanwhile the Doctor is off looking for her in all the wrong places, getting caught up in the causal network that is Cuthbert’s history. How he manages to hop into the TARDIS before it dematerializes at the end is quite the mystery to me. Or is that the second story… Hmmm. I listened to them in order together so they’ve pretty much merged into one story. A fun story but a bit weak on the epic, universal domination/ending storyline. But not every story can be that!
