The Magnate is considered by the leaders of the planet to be a shadow government, secretly controlling the world, they are wrong. The Leaders also think that the Network is a small, poorly managed group of paranoid anarchists who will eventually kill themselves, again they are wrong.

And when humans are found who can control things with their mind (ESPnets), the leaders think that they are few and far between which could be their biggest error in judgment yet.

The leaders believe that one minute after midnight on 31 December 1993, a new year, full of promise, will begin. They're wrong.

The Doctor and Mel arrive on Earth just days before New Year. An old friend as been kidnapped and taken to France. And two murderous enemies are setting up a new life in the Peak District. Which of these threats should the Doctor deal with first? And why is his old travelling companion Evelyn Smythe using her knowledge of the future to make a fortune from chocolate cake recipes?!
