The TARDIS crashes on a parallel world in the 1000s. The Doctor is mistaken for a wizard and is sentenced to death by the evil Morgaine. The Doctor avoids death only to find that Morgaine isn’t just anyone, she is a sorceress.
That’s when it hit the Doctor: This all seemed very familiar.
He is to become Merlin and he is to banish Morgaine to imprisonment for all eternity, ready for her to return to battle his former self.
