Tom Baker was MY Doctor. So getting to work alongside him for [BIG FINISH](https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-fourth-doctor-adventures-series-14-the-ruins-of-kaerula-2492)
is always a “pinch me” moment.

In this Fourth Doctor Adventure you can hear me as Chief Elect Tuldra.

Time travel can always bring complications. The Doctor, Leela and K9 find themselves
at different ends of strange temporal effects – from two time zones on the same 
planet to two locations that couldn’t be more different. But the peril they find
in all of these places is the same.

**14.3 The Remains of Kaerula by Phil Mulryne**
 When a time anomaly brings the 
TARDIS down on the planet Kaerula, the Doctor and his companions set out to investigate.
They soon meet two escapees from a nearby containment camp, who warn them of mysterious
cave creatures.

While Leela and K9 venture deep into the caves, the Doctor must broker a peace between
the Kaerulans and the Rems… but on this occasion, time may not be on his side.

**14.4 The Ruins of Kaerula by Phil Mulryne**
 The TARDIS crew have attempted to
depart Kaerula, only for an experiment gone awry to drag them back to an earlier
point in the world’s history.

Now stranded, the Doctor, Leela and K9 encounter very different versions of people
they’d only just met, and must deal with the consequences of their own actions. 
And the experiment has brought something else to this planet – something terrifying
and deadly.

**14.5 Cry of the Banshee by Tim Foley**
 The Brigadier uses the Time-Space Telegraph
to summon the TARDIS to a stormy Geneva, where a World Peace Conference has been
interrupted by a mysterious death. The Irish delegate has died of fright… after 
seemingly being visited by a Banshee.

Tracing the source of the attack, the Doctor takes the Brigadier, Leela and K9 to
a thirtieth-century space station orbiting Jupiter, with a boggy marsh for an interior.
Deep within the station lie the answers to the puzzle… as well as secrets and dangers
best left undiscovered.
