This is one of my fav stories. Has the Brigadier in it, time travel, games with time, and at the time it was new (to me), it had a past history montage - I'm a sucker for those. pic.twitter.com/sAGfq0YP1f

There's also a new companion - Turlough, At the start, Turlough was trying to kill the Doctor as he was an agent of the Black Guardian, seeking revenge for the Key to Time perhaps? pic.twitter.com/r32A5LgJoK

Tegan & Nyssa are separated from the Doctor via time, and are lied to by Mawdryn who pretends to be the Doctor. Loved that playing with time. In the past, they meet the 1977 Brig pic.twitter.com/JBrYNhFnCZ

while the Doctor meets 1983 Brig who initially doesn't know who the Doctor is. The Doctor making him remember is all fun. Got into watching, forgot to write and end for this. :) pic.twitter.com/PuRJVBIzli

The plot surrounding the two time zones deepens, and it gets into the really fun stuff. There's now two Brigadiers on the ship too and the Doctor works to keep them separate and pic.twitter.com/4NcMMgCEIM

recover the Tardis. Turlough is a bit whiny when talking to the Black Guardian. Mawdryn & his companions want the Doctor to give them his regenerative energy so they can die. pic.twitter.com/cwuVU8vQaA

This story ends well with the Doctor deciding he's going to help Mawdryn and his buddies, but at the cost of the rest of his future lives. In the end, he gets out of of it by the pic.twitter.com/3KfsnKGcd9

timely intervention of the two Brigadiers. Everything is reset, Mawdryn's people die, and Turlough oddly enough comes with the Doctor, something that Nyssa & Tegan are against. pic.twitter.com/X4wS0pytAf
