The Sixth Doctor returns, and he's thrown straight in at the deep end! Travelling the galaxy
with Melanie Bush and their brand-new companion, marine biologist Hebe Harrison, there are
wonders to see, dangers to face and plenty of peril beneath the waves.
Ep 1 - The Rotting Deep by Jacqueline Rayner (2 parts).
A mysterious SOS summons the Doctor and Mel to an oil rig in the North Sea where a
dwindling group of survivors awaits rescue from a lethal menace, One of their number is Hebe
Harrison, a wheelchair-using marine biologist who is definitely more than she seems. Can our
heroes escape the rig? And just what is killing off the rig's beleaguered crew?
Ep 2 - The Tides of the Moon by Joshua Pruett (2 parts).
For Hebe's first trip in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Mel take her to the nearest available 'water
world' - the Moon, two billion years in the past! Its advanced humanoid inhabitants, the
Gilleans, are terrorised each night by their monstrous enemies, the Sheega. Even more
worrying is that in a matter of hours, this ocean world will be laid waste by the gravitational
interference of the blue-green planet next door...
Ep 3 - Maelstrom by Jonathan Morris (2 parts).
The Doctor, Mel and Hebe visit the archipelago world of Veludia, only to discover a planet
beset by electromagnetic storms where three survivors traverse the seas in a ramshackle
township. These survivors are 'corps' - bodies used as hosts for minds stored in the vessel's
'mind-drive' - and the Doctor, Mel and Hebe are seen as welcome replacements. But there's
something lurking in the waters below, something of rage and power that wishes to destroy
them all: the Maelstrom!
