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".
