Gallifrey.In the serial, the Sontaran Commander Linx (Kevin Lindsay)
crash-lands his spaceship in medieval England. He agrees to give
futuristic weaponry to the warrior Irongron (David Daker) and his men,
in exchange for Linx being given shelter to perform repairs on the
damaged spaceship.In the Middle Ages, the bandit Irongron and his aide
Bloodaxe, together with their rabble of criminals, find the crashed
spaceship of a Sontaran warrior named Linx. The alien claims Earth for
his Empire, then sets about repairing his ship, offering Irongron
“magic weapons†that will make him a king in return for shelter.
They strike a bargain, though Irongron remains suspicious.The Third
Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart are investigating the
disappearance of several scientists from a top secret scientific
research complex. They do not know Linx has used an Osmic Projector to
send himself forward to the 20th century and has kidnapped the
scientists, then hypnotised them into making repairs on his ship. The
Projector only lets him appear in another time for a brief period.
While the Doctor investigates, he meets an eccentric scientist called
Rubeish, and a young journalist called Sarah Jane Smith, who has
infiltrated the complex by masquerading as her aunt. Later that
evening Rubeish disappears and the Doctor uses the data he has
gathered to pilot the TARDIS back to the Middle Ages, not realising
that new companion Sarah has stowed away on board. The Time Warrior Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
