The scheming 'Alchemist' wannabe Theodore Maxtible (Marius Goring) and the weakly compliant Edward Waterfield (John Bailie). |
Newly arrived in 1866 at the expansive Maxtible house and estate (near Canterbury), the Doctor and Jamie at first think they are caught in the machinations of the greedy scientist Theodore Maxible's (Marius Goring) all-consuming need to combine his interests in science and profit in ways never before accomplished. Together with the caring but manipulated Edwin Waterfield (John Bailey), a man on the brink of bankruptcy (a dark deed deliberately engineered by Maxtible, if you read John Peel's novelisation of the tale) their experimental efforts linked to static electricity with time travel soon reveal the true enemy lurking within the house, threatening the Waterfield family and its small but loyal staff in their ultimately successful attempts at acquiring the Doctor and Jamie...
