regenerations of the Doctor from their respective timelines and set them
on the problem of tracing the losses.

The TARDIS materialises on a ship in the Indian Ocean in the early
part of the twentieth century, or so it seems. The Doctor and Jo soon
get the feeling that events are repeating themselves endlessly, but
what is the truth of the situation.
A spate of attacks on spaceships threatens the uneasy alliance between
Earth and the Draconians, but the Doctor suspects that a third party is
trying to provoke war.
The Doctor falls into a deep coma as the TARDIS lands on the planet of
Spiridon. Jo goes off to find help for the Doctor, but develops a fungal
infection that threatens to kill her until she is aided by Wester, an
invisible Spiridon.
The Doctor recovers and meets up with a scout group of Thals, who tell him
that a vast army of Daleks lie hidden somewhere on Spiridon - but where?
A spate of mysterious deaths strike miners in a small Welsh village.
The dead men glow with a pulsing green light!
The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier soon find themselves on opposite sides as
it becomes clear that the nearby chemical plant run by Global Chemicals
is involved - but how?
At the end of the story, Jo Grant meets and falls in love with
Professor Cliff Jones, an ecologist campaigning against Global Chemicals,
and leaves UNIT to marry him.
