'Water Worlds': 'The Rotting Deep' (2 Parts) by Jacqueline Rayner

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.

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?

Colin Baker (The Doctor), Bonnie Langford (Melanie Bush), Ruth Madeley (Hebe Harrison), Rove McManus (Jonah Strong), James Smillie (A.M. ‘Ancient Mariner’), Mandi Symonds (Skye Bennet), Charlie Tighe (Carl Price / Dean)
