The Doctor was dead, to begin with. Killed alongside his beloved Jo Grant in an explosion in the UNIT labs. But Time Lords are notoriously hard to kill.

Because with UNIT under siege, the Brigadier is rescued by two familiar faces... the Doctor he first encountered, fighting the Yeti, and Jamie McCrimmon. With yet one more waiting in the wings.

They are all pawns in a deadly game of chess played by a being more powerful than any they’ve ever encountered before. And when you battle Death himself... can anyone even win?

Based on the original treatment for The Three Doctors, the First, Second and Third Doctors become caught in a temporal game of chess played between the President of Gallifrey and Death itself.

Adapted from the original treatment by Bob Baker and Dave Martin for what later became the TV episode 'The Three Doctors'.


Stephen Noonan (The First Doctor), Michael Troughton (The Second Doctor), Tim Treloar (The Third Doctor), Jon Culshaw (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart), Frazer Hines (Jamie McCrimmon), Katy Manning (Jo Grant), Joe Shire (Death), Dianne Pilkington (The President), David O'Mahony (Deadly Sins)

Directed by David O'Mahony

Notes:
*Featuring the First, Second and Third Doctors, Jamie, Jo, the Brigadier and UNIT

*A Big Finish audio production

*This story was adapted from an earlier draft of what would become 'The Three Doctors'

*Time-placing: The First Doctor is travelling with Steven, placing this between the television stories 'The Daleks' Master Plan' and 'The Massacre'; the Second Doctor and Jamie have yet to meet the Brigadier, but have met the Yeti, and Victoria is said to be elsewhere, so I am placing this between 'The Abominable Snowmen' and 'The Web of Fear'; for the Third Doctor, this takes place immediately before 'The Three Doctors'
