Responding to a desperate summons from the Doctor's future self, he and Peri find themselves on a sailing ship in 1492, where the crewmen are gripped by superstitious fear. They say the Devil walks among them, stalking and striking them down. Even though they have landed in paradise, they fear that 'El Diablo' himself will drag them over the edge of the world and into the depths of hell. When the Doctor and Peri meet the captain of the ship, they both discover that heroes can sometimes behave un–heroically. Peri's reaction leads her into deep water, and soon the Doctor fears not only for her life but also for the existence of the ship, the paradise island, and the Universe itself... Celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who, a brand new adventure for the Sixth Doctor. Nicola Bryant – Peri in the BBC TV Doctor Who series – and Cameron Stewart perform this original story by Nev Fountain, with music and sound design.
