Real Time
From The Back Cover...

On a planet known only as Chronos, two scientific survey teams have vanished. Inexplicably. Without warning. But with just one clue supplied - a singled screamed word: "Cybermen!"

The University they worked for has called in the Earth security forces who despatch a third team, a mix of military and scientific might, under the auspicies of a University Administrator. If that kind of volatile grouping isn't bad enough, three strangers have been added to the mix - a young human expert in Cybermen and a mysterious traveller in space and time, the Doctor along with his companion, Dr Evelyn Smythe.

But can they solve the riddle of the vanished survey teams before the Cybermen harness Chronos' unique temporal gifts and rewrite the history of the galaxy?

Comments

Real Time was originally presented episodically on the BBCi webpages in the summer of 2002. Featuring the popular combination of Colin Baker and Maggie Stables it will pit the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn against the Cybermen with a cast including the TVM's Yee Jee Tso, and comedian duo Richard Herring and Stewart Lee.

The CD cover features a montage of Lee Sullivan's images used in the online presentation of the drama and the CD itself has a thirty minute documentary feature about the making of this story.
