Time-Flight

The Doctor and his companions are tasked with finding a Concorde that has gone missing. When they trace the flight path of the Concorde, they’re whisked back in time approximately 140 million years. They soon find the missing plane and its passengers, but all is not what it seems. A mysterious conjurer named Kalid rules over the area with powerful psychic abilities. But even Kalid is not what he appears to be and, before long, the Doctor and the Master are pitted against each other in a showdown that could leave one of them stuck in the past forever. Time-Flight doesn’t have a great reputation, and I can sort of understand why. It’s not great. It’s not terrible but it’s not very well thought out either. Several times during the story, someone will ask the Doctor to explain what’s going on and all he’ll say is, “I’ll explain later.” There is, however, a pretty good sequence in the second episode where Tegan and Nyssa are confronted by some illusions meant to deter them from finding the citadel’s inner sanctum. One of which is a vision of Adric, seemingly back from the dead.
