The Doctor Who Lost Stories line continues this Summer with three installments from the Colin Baker Sixth Doctor era. These audios are based on ideas, proposals or in some cases full scripts that were submitted then dropped from production for various reasons (and why oh why were any of these passed up in favor of Timelash?).

Also, Sylvester McCoy, the Seventh Doctor, starts a new trilogy with Ace and Hex in what promises to be a major turning point.

SYNOPSIS: The TARDIS materialises on Serenity, the last surviving world of the Traken Union. Peri expects a good place for a holiday – not tomb raiders, a labyrinth filled with terrifying monsters and a trap-laden necropolis.

For Serenity's gentle name belies its history as the home planet of the Melkur, soldiers created to serve a long dead dark force, the embodiment of evil itself. Whilst they sleep, vicious thieves are after this force's secrets, and will stop at nothing to find them.

But will they find more than they bargained for?

Arriving in the North of England in the late 1980s, Ace and Hex seek refuge at the home of Albert and Peggy Marsden... in the last few hours before the outbreak of World War Three.
