'Kaleidoscope' (6 Parts) by Alan Barnes |
His name is Kaleidoscope. He claims to have travelled halfway across the universe to warn all humankind that it stands on the brink of extinction. And a certain tenacious young journalist has got an exclusive interview with this alien messiah...
But it’s not Sarah Jane Smith who’s got the out-of-this-world scoop - it’s her rival, the unscrupulous Jenny Nettles. Sarah's busy helping the Doctor and UNIT work out if Kaleidoscope is for real or a fake when RAF Phantoms scramble to intercept an unidentified something homing in on a top-secret missile base.
It seems like Kaleidoscope’s apocalyptic predictions might all be about to come true.
Tim Treloar (The Doctor), Sadie Miller (Sarah Jane Smith), Jon Culshaw (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart), Christopher Naylor (Surgeon-Lieutenant Harry Sullivan),

Notes:
*Featuring the Third Doctor, Sarah, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Harry and UNIT
*A Big Finish Audio Production
*Time-placing: The Doctor is still referring to the Whomobile (unveiled in 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs') as his "new car", and Sarah knows of Daleks, so I'm placing this story not long after 'Death to the Daleks'
*This story marks the first chronological appearance of Surgeon-Lieutenant Harry Sullivan
