A Case for the Blue Box was the fourth story of Season 35 of Doctor Who. It was written by Joe Menosky, directed by Les Landau and featured Michael French as the Doctor and Laurie Holden as Sammy Thompson.

This episode was an official crossover with Star Trek: Voyager and was the idea of Steven Moffat after the 'Paramount Deal' was finalised in early 1998. The episode takes place after the Voyager episode Counterpoint.

Synopsis

Reaching the end of Devore space, the USS Voyager comes across a mysterious small Blue Box hanging in space. Captain Kathryn Janeway, hails the box, but to no avail before it vanishes into thin air.

Soon after, two mysterious strangers arrive on Voyager, and with them, the very same Blue Box. But that's the least of their worries, as Voyager's medical supplies begin to evolve and mutate, transforming into a deadly creature, hungry for Time Lord blood.
