Survival is the final ever story in the original Doctor Who series that ran each year from 1963 – 1989. The one-off TV movie of 1996 starring Paul McGann was the only story between Survival and the start of the new series that commenced in 2005. The Doctor takes Ace to present day Perivale so that she can visit old friends. However most of them have been transported by cat-like Kitlings to the planet of Cheetah People, a race with the power to teleport through space. Ace is transported and joins up with two of her friends, Midge, Shreela and a boy named Derek. The Doctor follows and encounters the Master, who has drawn him into a trap to try and gain his help. This planet gradually transforms its inhabitants into Cheetah People – an influence to which the Master himself has fallen victim – while they in turn, through the savagery of their actions, cause the planet to move ever closer to total destruction.
