Synopsis
Template:Spoiler Along with new companion Adam, the TARDIS deposits the Ninth Doctor and Rose on Satellite 5, a station that broadcasts across the entire Fourth and Bountiful Earth Empire. However, those who are promoted to Floor 500 simply disappear; humanity might be being manipulated and the Doctor suspects that the man they call the Editor may have something to do with it.
Notes
- The story guest stars Bruno Langley as Adam Mitchell, Simon Pegg as the Editor, and Tamsin Greig as the Nurse.
- According to Davies' "Production Notes" column in Doctor Who Magazine #356, The Long Game was originally written in the early 1980s and submitted to the Doctor Who production offices, who rejected it. Davies reworked it for the new series.
