Doctor Who Steve Lyons

The Doctor answers a psionic distress call sent from England in the 1920s. There, at a fairground, he is reunited with an old friend: Harry Houdini. To Adric and Nyssa the name means very little, but to the Doctors companion Tegan he is a legendan escape artist extraordinaire. But how does Houdini know so much about Tegan herself? And is Houdini right to be concerned about the fairgrounds fortune teller, who claims to have supernatural skills? Both he and the Doctor suspect an alien influence may be at work. What none of them realize is that somewhere in the shadows, a sinister and familiar presence is lying in wait for them all.
