About this listen
In this historical adventure, the Doctor and his companions arrive on the "roof of the world," where they are discovered by the explorer Marco Polo. Seeking a way to return home to Venice, Polo seizes the TARDIS to present it as a magnificent gift to Kublai Khan. The group joins Polo’s caravan across Cathay, navigating treacherous sandstorms, water shortages, and the internal sabotage of a treacherous war lord named Tegana. Along the way, the travelers form deep bonds with Ping-Cho, a young woman facing a forced marriage, and engage in high-stakes cultural exchanges within the Mongol court. The narrative reaches its peak in Peking, where the Doctor must use his wit and a game of backgammon to reclaim his ship. Ultimately, the travelers thwart a bloody assassination plot against the Khan before finally departing for the stars.
