A new adventure for Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, alongside Bonnie Langford and Sophie Aldred as 1980s companions Melanie Bush and Ace. Come to Ricosta! Tropical climate, untouched beaches, fabulous cuisine...and no extradition treaties.

Some other former associates of Ms Bush are abroad in this space Costa del Crime, however. Not long ago, the time and space traveller known as the Doctor arrived here, alongside his sometimes-criminal associate, the reformed juvenile offender Ace. But now the Doctor's gone missing - and Melanie Bush is about to learn that on the planet Ricosta, the wages of sin...are death.
