 ‘We’ve
been colonising other planets for a thousand million years,’
she said, turning to the camera and giving her trademark
smile. ‘All right, Mr Matheson - I’m ready
for my close-up.’

In the 101st century,
nostalgia is everything. Television from the 20th century
is the new obsession, and Reef Station One is receiving
broadcasts from a distant Earth of the past, transmitting
them to a waiting audience.
When The Doctor and
Peri arrive on Reef Station One, they find a fractured
society, totally dependent on film and television. They
also discover that the Republic’s greatest entrepreneur
is in league with one of The Doctor’s oldest enemies.
As the alien influence
spreads its tentacles throughout the Republic, The Doctor
and Peri must unravel the link between Walter J. Matheson’s
business empire and the invaders. Because, if they don’t,
they’ll end up in the deadliest soap opera of
all time.
