The Doctor Who Project has Keepsakes, a long time ago, the Doctor mislaid a prized possession, a keepsake - Issue one of his cherished Crescent Cortex comic collection. He's tried not to think about it until now, but when he finds Tom lost in the TARDIS' myriad of corridors, it unlocks in him a need to find it once more, and he journey's to the last planet he remembered having it. But immediately the Doctor sees the danger; somehow the landscape of this planet has been transformed into the landscape pictured in the comic. When the Doctor succumbs to an unknown illness, it's up to the separated Tom and Valentina to solve the mystery, with the help of some very mysterious characters, including a mute boy, and the Doctor's childhood heroine.
