I’m relying on a YouTube video for this.

Part 1

I can only assume this is set during All Flesh is Grass. The Tenth Doctor and Brian the Ood.

The Doctor wants to do some good, but from Brians point of view its just ghosts the Doctor sees.

Its very brief and skippable

Part 2

On the planet Velosa the people are worried the Kotturuh are coming: the Bringers of Death. However someone is there is save them - the Daleks.

Slightly longer than the first, but still short.

Part 3

The Eighth Doctor and the Daleks. They encounter a ship that’s draining their energy. The ship seems to be a resource of information from a species wiped out by the Kotturuh. The Daleks are only interested in the Huon Particles though.

 I assume that takes pace just after the Eighth and Daleks arrive in the Dark Times.

Part 4

The Ninth Doctor and Ikella are exploring the planet Parvanna - one of the least welcoming planets of the Dark Times, but they are not alone.

I’d say this is set between Monstrous Beauty and the first novel.

Part 5

The Eighth and Ninth Doctors are looking for the Tenth. The barren planet they find themselves on doesn’t have any answers, but it does have a modern looking house.

So set during All Flesh is Grass.

The animated is fairly basic, and the stories are fairly simple.

I was disapointed by this, so far each bit of the TLV I’ve read/seen has contained an element that adds to the overall story, and so earns its place. Having seen it was made up of different parts, with different characters from the story,  I thought it might bridge the gaps and add details. How the Ninth Doctor went from dealing with the vampires to meeting the Eighth and confronting the Tenth at the end of The Knight, The Fool and the Dead for example. But each part is just an interlude, a throw-a-way bit that has no real baring on the rest of the series.

Definitely the weakest TLV entry.
