Trail of the White Worm

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Doctor Who, Trail of the White Worm

The Time Lord tracks an ancient creature in the Peak District.

The Time Lord tracks an ancient creature in the Peak District. But who else is on its trail? Doctor Who adventure starring Tom Baker and Louise Jameson. From June 2015.

The legend dates back to Roman times, at least: a great White Worm, as wide as a man, slithers out of the rocks of the Dark Peak Gap to take animals, sometimes even children, for its food. 

When the Doctor and Leela arrive in the wilds of Derbyshire, only to get caught up in the hunt for a missing girl, they soon discover that the legend of the Worm is very much alive - even now, in 1979. 

Worse still, it seems that the Doctor isn't the only renegade Time Lord on the trail of this deadly and mysterious Worm... 

Tom Baker is the Fourth Doctor, with his ancient warrior companion, Leela, played by Louise Jameson. 

Written by Alan Barnes and directed by Ken Bentley. 

A Big Finish production.
