Featuring the Master, UNIT, Raine, Klein, with the Time Lords, Ice Warriors, Lethbridge-Stewart, Adrienne Kramer, Grace technology, Ace, the Judoon (informative mention)

Written by Nicholas Briggs and Jason Arnopp.

informed guess Takes place in London, Germany, Nevada, and Japan, after Lethbridge-Stewart’s retirement, but before Klein’s meeting with the Doctor in September 1990 CE.

Elizabeth Klein is a Tellurian. More than one version of her exists because, reasons, but this version is first introduced in this story, recorded in 2011, played by Tracey Childs, born 1963, so I’d suggest a birth date for the character of 1942 CE.
