The Doctor's Companion: Doctor Who the Long Way Round episodes

March 03, 2024 4.10 – The Brain of Morbius
On the barren planet of Karn, a scientist has been putting together a body made of different species to ultimately house the brain of Morbius, a Time Lord cult leader once sentenced to death. He’ll need a “proper” brain to practice the procedure on first, but luckily the TARDIS has just landed carrying a perfect candidate: the Doctor.
To complicate things, a group of immortal women who worship a “sacred flame” responsible for an elixir that grants eternal life have become aware that a Time Lord has arrived on Karn. Under the assumption that the Doctor has been sent from Gallifrey to steal the elixir, the Sisterhood is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect the source of their immortality, especially if it means killing a Time Lord.

February 25, 2024 3.10 – Day of the Daleks
When a delegate for a peace conference is nearly assassinated by what appears to be a ghost, UNIT brings in the Doctor to investigate. The “ghost” assassin turns out to be part of a group of rebel soldiers who have traveled to the past in an attempt to stop a Dalek invasion in the future, caused by the actions of the peace conference delegate. But can the Doctor save the delegate AND the future from certain Dalek doom? He’s certainly going to try.

When the TARDIS doors come open mid-flight, Barbara, Ian, Susan, and The Doctor discover that they have been shrunk to an inch in size and landed in a garden in ’60s England. While trying to come to terms with their miniature predicament, the travelers narrowly escape a giant cat, enter a house through a drain pipe, and stumble upon a conspiratorial murder plot to cover up the deadly effects of an experimental pesticide that kills anything it touches.
