Rennigan's Record (short story)

Rennigan's Record was a short story by David Whitaker that was written prior to his death in 1980 and was originally intended to be part of a never-completed collection of original Doctor Who short stories. In 1993, Doctor Who Magazine published the story in Issue #200.

Summary
Joseph Rennigan, the sole survivor of an American space mission that crashed on Mars, records his fight for survival on the hostile red planet and how he was helped in his delirium by four people -- the Doctor, Chesterton, Barbara and Susan -- who showed him how to collect water from condensation and urged him to take care of his head injury. Knowing he's going to survive, and believing that his visitors were hallucinations, he prefers to delete his recording in case somebody else listening it, one day, may think he was mad.
