Doktor vezme Romanu na prázdniny do Paříže, města, jež má, tak jako dobré víno, vlastní buket. Zvlášť pokud ho navštívíte v archivním ročníku. Tardis je ale zanese do roku 1979 – ročníku stolního vína, ročníku, který zkysnul kvůli prasklinám – ne v jejich sklenkách, ale v samotném předivu času. Pánové času se zapletou do mimozemšťanského spiknutí, ve kterém hrají roli po domácku vyrobené stroje času, krádež Mony Lisy, zmrtvýchvstání obávané rasy Jagarothů i začátek (a dost možná také konec) života na Zemi. Pokud má lidstvo přežít, musí Doktor s Romanou za pomoci britského policisty, který pro ránu nejde daleko, překazit pletichy záhadného hraběte Scarlioniho (všech dvanácti). Inu, takhle vypadá Doktorova obvyklá dovolená...

Obrovskou mocí obdařený Klíč k času byl rozdělen na sedm částí, zamaskovaných a rozptýlených napříč časem i prostorem. Ještě mocnější Bílý Strážce teď po Doktorovi žádá, aby mu všechny kousky našel. Doktor, Romana a robopes K-9 vystopovali druhou část na planetě Calufrax, když se ale trefí přesně do toho správného bodu v čase, ocitnou se přesně na nesprávné planetě – na Zanaku. Zanak je šťastná a bohatá planeta. Většinou. Z velitelského můstku jí vládne záhadný „Kapitán“ a pod jeho velením přichází jeden Nový zlatý věk za druhým – drahokamů i minerálů je pro každého dost, zkrátka ekonomický zázrak. Takže je jasné, že něco je hodně, ale hodně špatně… KLASICKÉ DOBRODRUŽSTVÍ PÁNA ČASU OD DOUGLASE ADAMSE, V ROMÁNOVÉM ZPRACOVÁNÍ ZKUŠENÉHO DOKTORSKÉHO HARCOVNÍKA JAMESE GOSSE.

RETIRINGOn days I don't want to Doctor muchI worry that I shall lose my touchAll that running down those corridorsThwartings of tyrants and dreadful boresBrave rescues from the Foul Monster's LairAnd firm trouncing all the Demons There.Chaos never ends, oh that's the shameSo yes I tire of just one more game.Sometimes when the same old fight beginsI fear, just once, I'll let Evil win.And then, on second thought, perhaps I won'tBecause they're Monsters, and so I don't.On days like that I don't think at allThat being the Doctor's so bad after all.
