Doctor Who: Lost in Time – AI am the Doctor
In the next Doctor Who Doom’s Day adventure, Doom relentlessly pursues her mission to locate the Doctor, but fate leads her to an extraordinary encounter on a besieged Space Station. In this mechanical haven, populated solely by robots, she unexpectedly crosses paths with the Doctor and K9 amidst a chaotic onslaught launched by marauding pirates.
Doctor Who Doom’s Day: Extraction Point
As Doom searches for aid, the hits keep coming in. Kill a crabby Kraal and his replica world! Assassinate a ghost on Satellite Five! Eliminate a living asteroid! Doom finds her talents – and her patience – stretched to breaking point.
But these apparently random jobs are linked in a way Doom could never imagine. And when not one but two different Doctors get involved, on the trail of an old enemy, the ensuing fireworks might just end the lives of billions. Can Doom solve the mystery before her allotted hours are up? It’s not only a planet she must save from destruction, but herself…

These four missions – The Steel Cascade, The Martian Dilemma, An Ood Halloween and Dark Space – take Doom to a Mediterranean cruise ship in 1966, the planet Mars in the distant past, San Francisco in 1999, and finally a desolate planet in a dying solar system.
Along the way she meets former TARDIS travellers Ian and Barbara, the mighty Ice Warriors and Brian the Ood. But when a mysterious stranger with silver hair and sunglasses turns up, will he be Doom’s salvation?
Doctor Who Doom’s Day: Dying Hours
As Doom’s final hours come into sharp focus, she’ll need to do whatever’s necessary to complete her missions, find the Doctor, and escape what increasingly seems like the inevitable. But how best to find the person who can save Doom’s life? Will the Doctor’s friends be her salvation? Or perhaps the Doctor’s enemies will be the route to survival?
Doom is about to travel across thousands of years of time, and light years of space in search of her last, best hope. But even if she finds the Doctor, will a person who is all about saving lives help a person whose only job is to take them?
Doom’s day is almost over. Time is running out. This could be the end.
These four adventures – Dawn of an Everlasting Peace, A Date with Destiny, The Howling Wolves of Xan-Phear and The Crowd – feature Paul McGann, Camille Coduri and India Fisher.
