The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) materialize at a secret British naval base off the Yorkshire coast during the final months of WWII. Almost immediately, the two time-travelers are plunged into intrigue involving a revolutionary code-breaking device. As if this were not enough, the base has apparently been targeted for destruction at the hands of a Viking ghost. British TV quiz show host Nicholas Parsons is here cast as the local vicar. Written by Ian Briggs, episode one of the four-part Doctor Who adventure "The Curse of Fenric" originally aired on October 25, 1989.
