Synopsis

Adam Mitchell discovers that life as a Time Lord’s companion isn’t as easy as it looks, as Russell T Davies’s adventure through time and space continues.

Adam catches a glimpse of the wonders of travelling in the Tardis, as they head to a future, where Satellite 5 broadcasts to the entire Earth Empire. But anyone promoted to Floor 500 is never seen again, and the Doctor suspects mankind is being manipulated.

Nothing escapes the eye of the sinister Editor – but just who is he working for? And does Adam have what it takes to become the Time Lord’s companion?
