Chris Parsons is happily engrossed in studying post-graduate physics at Cambridge, when one day he finds an old book, sitting on a dusty shelf in an ageing professor's library. Written in a language nobody can read and made of a paper that can't be torn, this is no ordinary book. And when it enters his life, everything changes for young Chris Parsons. Soon finding himself aboard an invisible space-ship, chased by monsters made of molten rock; aboard an alien prison on a distant planet and attacked by a horde of mind-control zombies. Chris also meets a strange man with a very long scarf who claims he can travel through time and space... in a police box. (BBC)

This is an interesting ending to something that began to be written in the late 1970s. It was supposed to be the conclusion of one part of the series, but the strike ultimately led to it not being finished. And after almost forty years, it's out with the unfinished parts animated. It’s interesting, and a little weird, but at least fans got some closure.
