Summary
Giles​ recovers a lost episode of 1950s television series Doctor X in this new PROBE​ adventure from BBV​ Productions.

Plot
Giles has tracked down the missing episode of Doctor X and the Caverns of Andostar for "more than I should have paid" from the seller Magister1971. Instead of the expected film, he finds a DVD box and when it opens, it knocks out P.R.O.B.E.'s technology.

Investigating, P.R.O.B.E. learn Giles' internet search history has been monitored by a mysterious figure and the Doctor X sale was a trap. Magister1971's IP address is tracked to a caravan site in Bedfordshire, but this is itself a trap: when P.R.O.B.E. is tracking the site, Magister1971 raids their offices and pilfers a Nolvox control node that controls battle drone armies from the "Dr Smith shelf".

Story notes
to be added

Continuity

 * Doctor X was introduced as a 'lost' equivalent of Doctor Who and Quatermass in the Erirem story "In Search of Doctor X''.
 * Magister1971 is implied to be the Master (who debuted in 1971), with Giles referencing a "vicar" with the same name. This was not made explicit as BBV does not have the license to use the character.
