The storyline sees the Doctor head to Gallifrey to answer to the Time Lords’ summons. On the way, he is struck by a premonition that he will assassinate the Lord President - a premonition that plays out! The Doctor is quickly apprehended but by claiming a right to stand for President he sends Gallifrey into a constitutional crisis.
