The TARDIS will always respond to a cry for help - although its timing can be a little off! The Doctor, Liv and Helen have the skills to save anyone in danger - if they can find them.

Empty vessels make the loudest sound - but sometimes that sound is a scream of terror...

Eos Falling by Matt Fitton
The Doctor, Helen and Liv find themselves on an abandoned spacecraft, hurtling towards an inhabited world. The crew have vanished - but the TARDIS travellers are not alone on this empty vessel...

Have they really discovered a ghost ship?

Lure of the Zygons Parts 1-2 by Roy Gill
A distress call draws the Doctor, Liv and Helen to a remote world and a crashed ship, where Captain Elhan is searching for her lost sibling...

As the storms close in, the two crews must investigate the wreck together. In the darkness, the Zygons are waiting...

Producer David Richardson said: "It’s been many years since the Eighth Doctor encountered the Zygons, and so we felt that the time was right for a rematch. And what a rematch it is - Roy Gill's two-parter is brilliant, a characterful thriller that touches upon the nature of identity. It's a story that has definitely been worth waiting for."

Writer Roy Gill added: "Matt Fitton, the script editor, asked if I'd like to do a Zygon story, and I answered very quickly, yes please. When I was a kid, I had the Terror of the Zygons VHS and I must have watched it... I don’t want to admit how many times! The Zygons are really distinctive, unusual, interesting monsters. Their ability to duplicate and to copy people can be very unnerving."
