The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive?

The hugely powerful Key to Time has been split into six segments, all of which have been disguised and hidden throughout time and space.

But when they arrive at exactly the right point in space, they find themselves on exactly the wrong planet - Zanak.

An unabridged reading of the brand-new novel based on a storyline by Douglas Adams.

The Krikkitmen are back.

Which the Doctor believes is extremely unlikely.
