The Fifth Doctor first fetched up on Earth in the 1960s - but what does he make of that decade's greatest musical contribution, the Beatles?

It turns out the Time Lord is a big fan. His young companion Nyssa, however, is unfamiliar with all the fuss over Earth's musical heritage - so a trip to Fab Four's formative days is in order.

Yet the Beatles are nowhere to be seen and their role in history has been taken by another group...

Who doesn't love the Beatles? Everyone, it seems, as the Doctor finds when time goes awry.
