Doctor Who – Terror from the Deep is a not-for-profit Doctor Who strip featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace, written by John Freeman, with art by Danny Cushion.
Previously… The Doctor and Ace landed in the Channel Tunnel, still under construction, finding a dead engineer, and a team of UNIT soldiers, led by Brigadier Sutherland… but appearances were not what they seemed! The “UNIT soldiers” were Movellans in disguise, intent on infiltrating a secret Dalek base, where their bitter enemy was researching a deadly virus on human test subjects.
Now, the Doctor is the prisoner of the Daleks, but planning escape, while Ace is an unwilling ally of the Movellan robot strike force, now attacking the Daleks in their base on multiple fronts!

New episodes will initially appear weekly, on Saturdays at 5.16pm, featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace in an exciting adventure with the Daleks.
This project began as a pitch project to the Daily Express for a newspaper strip, way back in 1989, but the end of the show’s “classic era” on TV meant it did not progress.
