Cancelled in 1993, leaving a bitter taste in many fans' mouths at the time.
It has since been created from the original script as a full length animated movie.
But can you sit through it?
The future? The Earth is dying under the onslaught of industry, the polar caps are melting, the ozone layer is nearly destroyed...
To save the planet, the Doctor must overcome the combined forces of some of the most feared of his old adversaries.
But he must also confront a far greater enemy - one that has already reverted him to his Fourth Incarnation - in order to save both the past and future Doctors before they are taken out of time and cease to exist.

SPOILERS BELOW.......
So you don't have to sit through the above 1 hour and 50 minute "epic" (surely the broadcast version would have been a more tightly compressed 90 mins?) here are the time codes for where other Doctor's (except Tom, who gets the lion's share of the story) appear and their entire contributions to this story celebrating 30 years.....:
PERTWEE:
56:40..... Appears as a ghostly figure in the "limbo" of the "vortex" and starts chatting to the star of the show, Tom, for a few moments.
1:00:15.... Chats some more to Tom, offering him a morale boosting pep-talk to aid Teeth and Curls on his continuing mission. Then fades and vanishes.
Errm.... That's it.....
DAVISON:
49:25.... Our heroes, Ace and the Brig are being chased by Cybermen, when Doctor 5 suddenly appears and stuns the silver fools with a large gun.
53:15..... Has a completely irrelevant (to the plot) argument with an imprisoned Cyberman about why the Cyber-race will logically destroy itself one day after they have conquered the universe.
57:00..... Talks about entropy, timelines and alternative realities to The Brig and Ace for only a few sentences, before more Cybermen arrive, followed by Daleks. The Daleks have a momentary dust up with the Cybers, then the Daleks "intercept the Doctor" and vanish into thin air with old Fivey.
1:03:30..... In background of scene in cryotube, alongside Colin. Unconscious while Tom plays out huge showdown with main villain in same room. Never wakes and fades away eventually, when timeline is restored, thanks to Tom.
COLIN:
1:02:25.... Colin is the defence judge in a trial (yawn!), defending the Ice Warriors from being framed for something. Said trial is completely irrelevant to the plot. The Brig walks in, just as the Doc is building up to his main point.
1:09:50.... Sixey has a chat with the Brig in the corridor outside about the need for Tom to locate the missing Tardis, then the Daleks turn up and fade away with him as they did Davison. Brig has leapt back into the vortex by this point.
1:03:30..... In background of scene in cryotube, alongside Davison. Unconscious while Tom plays out huge showdown with main villain in same room. Never wakes and fades away eventually, when timeline is restored, thanks to Tom.
MCCOY:
1:10.....Dead at start.... and given a Viking burial after credits.
1:05:50.... Ace meets him in the vortex/limbo.... He chats to her around a campfire for a few broken up moments.....during which he info. dumps all the explanations for the mysteries of what has been happening to Ace so far.
1:16:05..... Tom turns up to collect his companion, Ace, and the Mcoy Doctor promptly collapses, dies again, and fades away at their feet.
1:44:45..... Back from dead after Tom has finished his full-blown action/adventure.... .... then gets - admittedly - the closing scenes with Ace and final Tardis fade away.

Were we robbed - or did we have a lucky escape in retrospect?
