The Fifth Doctor's Solo Adventures
Episodic flights where the Doctor contends with alien relics, temporal anomalies, or personal psychological quandaries alone. Each arc such as intercepting the Seer’s demon or solitary confrontations on Gallifrey’s terraces exists in isolation with no ripple effects on companions or established antagonisms.
