The Unseen Enemy
Lysana is not well. She's caught a nasty case of space flu and with the Doctor trying to pilot the ship back to Belani for her to see her family again; Malix is left to look after her. She spends most of her time asleep but when she wakes with a start crying out for the Doctor, Malix gets worried. With the Doctor by her side she explains that she was dreaming, and the Doctor had been put to death by the ruler of Belani; Veran Lastig. The Doctor dismisses it as a side effect of her flu and returns to the console room where he successfully lands on Belani. The three travellers walk outside to find a metallic metropolis, with huge skyscrapers shattering the skyline and busy people running about their everyday tasks. Lysana relaxes, she is home at last but her joy is short lived. A giant spider like creature crashes into view, destroying buildings and killing hundreds of people. The three travellers run for cover into an underground station and soon discover from appear stand that Veran Lastig has recently been abducted and held to ransom, the attacks are threats to the people of Belani, if the money is not paid then Lastig dies. The Doctor and Malix ally themselves with the local military unit as Lysana searches to tube for any trace of her family. She is soon confronted by her brother Jacob and he takes her to another platform where her family are all staying undercover. The Doctor and Malix meanwhile have infiltrated a hidden science base believed to be the HQ of Lastig's captors. The Doctor searches for Lastig himself, whilst Malix discovers blueprints for the spider robots, and realises they have an inbuilt neutron bomb, ready to blast Belani to smithereens. The Time Lord discovers two masked men hurriedly dragging another man towards a secret exit in a corridor deep within the base, and calls for the army unit. They fail to arrive and so he takes matters into his own hands. He knocks out one of the guards, and takes his gun. He threatens another and orders him to free Lastig. He does so and the Doctor takes charge, he covers the guard as he prepares to take Lastig back to the surface, but when the army finally arrive he realises they think he is Lastig's captor. He is held prisoner as the real culprit escapes. Lastig himself accuses the Doctor of being involved in the crime and then orders the army to shoot him. However, at the last minute Malix arrives and distracts them with the plans he has found. Whilst they aren't looking, the Doctor escapes back onto the surface to find the streets in utter chaos. He is found by Jacob, who takes him to the underground tube station where Lysana is now recovering. The Time Lord decides showing his face on the surface any time soon would be dangerous, Malix must try to stop the spiders. Malix works with the army, who are still suspicious of him as he did arrive with the Doctor but realise hi wouldn't show the blueprints of his own group's weapons, so allow him to help them think of a plan. They search the base and discover a recall device for the spiders. They activate it and all over the world the spiders return to the main island Gorip. Once in the oceans Malix deactivates them, causing them to fall to the sea and blow up. Those in Gorip itself cause some damage but at least the threat is over. People begin to exit from the underground stations, ready to start life again. The Doctor rejoins Malix and explains that the culprits of the attacks are a terrorist group formed all over the planet. He fears that one day they'll strike again and warns Jacob of this. He turns to leave and steps inside the TARDIS. Malix is about to do the same when he realises Lysana is not following them. He asks her why not. Her eye-line focuses on the Doctor and he smiles at her warmly. The Doctor looks at Malix and walks inside. Confused, Malix again asks what is going on and Lysana explains that she's found home again. Now she's with her family she doesn't want to leave again. She has seen wonders of the galaxy and now it’s time to settle down.. She kisses Malix goodbye and he steps inside the ship. With one last wave goodbye he closes the door and the ship takes off, leaving Lysana and her family to start their lives again.

Goodbye From Yesterday
Malix is still getting over Lysana's departure and decides perhaps it is time for him to leave as well. He asks the Doctor to take him back to his home planet of Villenguard and reluctantly the Time Lord plots the co-ordinates. Soon the TARDIS is on its way and the Doctor tries to talk Malix round. He realises how much he misses Samantha and Lysana and explains that sometimes saying goodbye is harder than it needs to be. He should know. To try and explain he resets the co-ordinates for Earth in the 1970's where the ship lands at UNIT HQ. There the Doctor takes Malix to see Jo Grant, one of his former companions. Initially disbelieving the man to be the Doctor she finally comes to her senses and talks to Malix about how hard it was to say goodbye to the Doctor when she decided to get married. Meanwhile, the Doctor has been trying to avoid running into the Brigadier, as at this stage in his friend's timeline he is yet to witness the third Doctor's regeneration. he sneaks around the HQ and is about to seek refuge in the TARDIS when the building shakes. He runs to a window and looks outside, where he sees a dinosaur like creature clawing it's way out of the ground. The UNIT troops are soon on the case of dealing with the monster as the Doctor, Jo and Malix venture underground to find out what has happened. There they find a woman, at a laboratory built into an underground cave who is using a time shifting device to reawaken the dinosaurs. She is the Rani, an old acquaintance of the Doctor's. The Doctor tries to destroy the main control panel but the Rani has her two guards lock him and his companions up. Soon they are in a cell, awaiting escapologist Jo to find a way out. She does so and the trio sneak back to the lab. As Jo creates a diversion, the Doctor sabotages the control panel and Malix steals the remaining dinosaur bones with which the Rani intends to take over the Earth. The Doctor completes his tampering and the machine explodes, taking the revitalised Dinosaurs with it. Soon the Doctor and Malix are on their way home again and Jo is left to confront the Brigadier as to her absence. She does not mention the Doctor by name but talks of a tall stranger with very long hair…

Blazing GloryThe Doctor continues to try and get the TARDIS on course to Villenguard as Malix mulls things over. He sits alone in the cloister room and ponders whether it is time that he left his travels with the Doctor or if he should stay. No sooner has he begun to think, the Cloister bell rings out across the ship and Malix rushes to the console room to find the Doctor being flung across the floor as the ship is violently rocked about. The scanner reveals a battleship attacking them, trying to explain over the communication system that they have entered a quarantined area of space. The Doctor attempts to pilot the ship back out again but it is too late, the TARDIS is taken onboard a much larger ship and placed in a stasis pod... Many years later the Doctor and Malix emerge from the TARDIS, unaware of how long they have been in suspended animation. They look around the decaying ship and discover that the crew has been wiped out, reduced to skeletons. The Doctor enters a laboratory and discovers a plague had swept across this sector of space, carried by unmarked ships. A battle of sorts ensured to try and keep the plague carriers out but after some time all was lost. The TARDIS was left forgotten and the ship abandoned, but no sooner has the Doctor hacked into the data banks to find out more details, Malix rushes in. A ship is about to dock. The ship silently links up and the main hatchway opens. The Doctor and Malix wait silently as a faint whirring emits from the ship. They watch on as a figure emerges from within the shuttle and slowly glides down the ramp. The Daleks have returned. The Doctor and Malix run silently for cover, and the Doctor realises they are a different fraction from those he imprisoned on Skaro some time ago. They are left over from the great battle fleets that came from other great cities across Skaro, Davros' earlier experiments. The Daleks swarm the ship and take control. They power up the control banks and begin to pilot the ship out of the quarantine sector. The TARDIS is located and guarded, leaving the Doctor and Malix stranded. The two travellers make their way to the main control room where they discover the Daleks are planning to set the ship on a collision course with the planet Xanisi, the robots of whom have engaged the Daleks in combat for many years. The ship is to be filled with highly unstable rocket fuel, and the planet will be wiped out on contact. On Xanisi, the robots have traced the ship on radar. They realise the Daleks are about to launch an attack and send a counter-force. A fleet of ships blasts off to fight the oncoming attack and prepare to blast the ship out of the sky. The Doctor and Malix are seen and are forced to run down into the cargo bays as the only means of escape. They do manage to make their way past the jets of unstable rocket fuel and climb up a service shaft to the docking bay, where a fleet of ships is locking on to the ports. An army of giant robots emerge and storm the ship. The battle has begun. The Daleks focus all energies on protecting the control room, but the distracted guards accidentally let the Doctor and Malix inside, where the Emperor Dalek is hard at work. The rocket fuel is nearly fully loaded and the ship shall crash in a matter of minutes. The Doctor explains the crash would mean suicide, the Dalek ship has been taken over by the Xanisi Robots and there is no means of escape. The Emperor admits there will be no survivors but other Daleks fleets shall taste the triumph. He prepares the final countdown as the ship changes direction and plunges down towards the surface of the planet. The Doctor tries to reconfigure the controls as the Emperor Dalek is forced out into the open once the Xanisi Robots break in. They force the Doctor to complete the counter command, holding Malix hostage. Soon the Doctor has finished and a gigantic swoop, metres above the planet's surface, the ship flies off into space. The Doctor and Malix are permitted to leave for their cooperation and after managing to get past a few surviving Daleks with orders to kill them they find the TARDIS in the dry docks. They leave, the Doctor murmuring it isn't over yet. Out in space the two travellers watch on the ship's scanner as the Daleks, along with the Xanisi Robots are forced to shoot towards a nearby sun. Onboard the shuttle the two factions of robots frantically try to escape but to no avail, the ship collides with the sun, wiping out all those on board. And that concludes season 3/ 35. Any comments? All are welcome

Ok, next season
2000 (Season 4/ 36)
The Silver City
The TARDIS materialises in a vast complex of a silver city and whilst the two travellers venture outside, the ship transforms into a piece of silver artwork. The Doctor is fascinated the inhabitants of the city would have found so much sliver with which to model, and decides to find out the history of the complex. Malix meanwhile, decides to find the inhabitants of the city, of whom there seems no trace. The Doctor uncovers a museum of the complex but has trouble getting in. He is forced to break into a nearby armoury, and upon stealing a gun, manages to melt the locks of the museum door. Once inside, he is ambushed and falls to the floor as a shadowed figure stands over him with a silver club. Malix searches the empty town square and calls for the inhabitants to show themselves. After he does so the silver doors of the buildings surrounding her slide open, revealing an army of silver robots. They surround him and prepare to fire. The Doctor awakens in a vast laboratory, pinned against the wall on a vertical operating table, a huge laser gun aimed at his forehead. The shadowed figure randomly pulls at the vast computer bank of levers, ignoring the Doctor's demands for answers. In the town square, Malix calls for help, but the featureless robots fire upon him. He is surrounded by a swirling vortex and cries out as he approaches a growing light. He materialises next to the Doctor on another operating table. In the town square, the robots return to the buildings from where they once stood. The shadowed figure reveals himself as an aging prison officer named Trukanos. He explains to the Doctor and Malix that they have fallen into the trap of the Justice Patrol, a race whose main objective is to rid the universe of criminals. The silver city is a hologramatic fake, used to tempt criminals to its vicinity once they discover it's silver construction. The silver servants are then sent to capture them where upon they are subjected to brain conditioning which forces them to forget the concept of crime. The Doctor fights to explain to Trukanos that he and Malix are innocent, but the old man fails to believe them. As he prepares to begin the conditioning, he pulls the last lever. An electronic pulse rushes through his body and he falls to the ground. As the lights dim and the whirring computer bank loses its power, the Doctor and Malix's bonds are broken. Malix declares Trukanos is dead whilst the Doctor realises the computer has backfired as a result of it's age. He manages to trigger the collapse of the silver city as he and Malix return to the ship just in time to take off.

The Battle of the Robots
The TARDIS lands on a moon orbiting an ice planet somewhere in the outer regions of the galaxy. There they discover a war is raging, with two sides of robots fighting for control of the planet. Kali is separated from her friend in an artillery attack and ends up stumbling into one of the robot bases. She discovers they are known as the Peroids, and were built by a survey team to analyse rocks. They were left behind when their programming malfunctioned and they turned violent. The Doctor meets the Militrons, who were army robots for the original inhabitants of the planet, before it was evacuated once natural resources had run out. Too heavy to transport, the robots were left behind. The two sides are looking for a final solution, each of them looking after their original master’s orders, to protect. The Militrons are intending to infiltrate the Peroid base and detonate their in-built neutron bombs. Realising Kali is in danger from the attack the Doctor leaves as an ambassador for the Militrons, to bargain freedom with the Peroids and save his friend. He arrives but his pleas for peace are ignored. His mind is probed and the Militron’s attack is uncovered. With no word from the Doctor the Militrons attack and are met by the Peroids. They open in battle, and the devastation is immediate. The Doctor manages to find Kali and together they leave, as the two robot forces annihilate each other.
Which brings us to the end of Season 4 / 36.

Ever considered going into scriptwriting? Book writing perhaps? I have thought about it but you'd be surprised how few of these ideas and synopses would properly transfer into full-on novels without being boring and full of padding, you need to introduce more plot lines instead of a single one, which would otherwise be tedious. That's why many of these synopses, which have all the main characters at the same place at the same time wouldn't work as novels. Short stories perhaps but still they need to be developed to add more lines of plot. Thanks for the kind words though, I might have a go at developing a few during the Summer.

You should go into scriptwriting you'd be better at it than most of the people currently at the BBC.

OK, another lot here for you, thanks for all the kind comments.
2001 (Season 5 / 37)
The Prisoner of the Mind
The Doctor’s telepathic synapses are attacked and as he lies crippled, Kali watches the controls activate themselves and land with a bumpy touchdown. At first she thinks they have been called home but when she looks outside she finds herself in a makeshift laboratory, built into a cave. Skeroth, a ghost like creatures greets her, and explains he needs the Doctor’s vast intelligence to help him escape from his prison underneath the planet Volker. The Doctor recovers and takes a defensive opinion, stating he is a prisoner serving his sentence and must pay the price for his crime. Initially Skeroth pleads for mercy, claiming to have learnt his lesson but when the Doctor continues not to cooperate he attacks him again. Kali agrees to help, to save her friend and begins to analyse the complicated telepathic machinery that will allow Skeroth to be free. His knowledge of such machinery has been taken away from him during his sentence, but Kali may be his ticket for freedom if he can channel his telepathic thoughts through her whilst she operates the machinery. The Doctor awakens and tries to stop Kali but it is too late, the machines begin to whir and Skeroth opens his mind to smash the invisible barriers that confine him. He flies of into the skies and the Doctor and Kali are left alone. The Doctor suddenly has an idea and links himself to the TARDIS console, amplifying his telepathic thoughts to confine Skeroth again, before he can do anything wrong. He is trapped once more and the two weary travellers leave once more.

Past Problems
The TARDIS comes under attack from a defence shuttle for a prison ship orbiting Saturn. Onboard a high profile prisoner is being taken aboard and security is watertight. The Doctor and Kali are taken for interrogation and are soon cleared. They are preparing to leave again when the Prisoner is teleported onboard and they recognise the figure before them. He is Guy Guillian, whom they have met before. He appeared to have been vaporised when the TARDIS took off with him half onboard yet half outside. Guy reveals he was in-fact sent spinning through space down to Saturn, where he tried to get back to Earth but was captured by the military when attempting to board a transport capsule. The Doctor warns the ships Captain Feirguard that Guy must be held under top security and offers to remain onboard to make sure he doesn’t escape. Despite their efforts Guy does escape and takes Kali hostage. He demands that he be given freedom to leave. The Doctor confronts him and snatches back Kali, but Guy is armed, he opens fire and narrowly hits the Doctor, who falls down. The security guards arrive and shoot him dead, as Kali drags her friend away, back to the TARDIS and then off into space using the limited knowledge she has of the ship.
