The release will see Professor River Song (Kingston) meets her predecessor, another time-travelling archaeologist, Professor Bernice Summerfield (Lisa Bowerman), while Kate Stewart (Redgrave) travels back in time to classic UNIT and meets the Third Doctor (voiced by Tim Treloar) and Jo Grant (Manning).
The Seventh Doctor (McCoy) and Ace (Aldred) will also be reunited with the Counter-Measures team from 'Remembrance of the Daleks', and the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) and companion Charlotte Pollard (India Fisher) will once again meet Detective Inspector Patricia Menzies (Anna Hope) in a police procedural like no other...
Plus we'll go to Gallifrey, and enter the Time War!
The official synopsis for The Legacy of Time reads: "Time is collapsing. Incidents of temporal chaos and devastation are appearing throughout the many lives of the Doctor and his friends – fallout from one terrible disaster.
"The Doctor must save history itself – and he will need all the help he can get. The truth is revealed, and it will take more than one Doctor to save the day!"
