    *I’m pretty sure the Big Finish Audio that featured the “black rectangular hole” chasing the Tardis (the time scoop, from “The Five Doctors”) was within the second season of the Paul McGann 8th Doctor Adventures. I belive it was episode 2.7 “Sisters Of The Flame”, but bewarned! This is the first of a THREE PART story arc, which continues in the season 2 finale 2.8 “Vengenance Of Morbius” and the season three premier, 3.1 “Orbis”. A fantastic tale, but does feature some characters from previous 8th Doctor audio adventures. – Shaun
