A very short story, only several pages long that could have stayed out of the reprint. The Tardis is stopped by a space creature that feeds on time energy. The creature sucks all the time energy from the Tardis causing time inside the Tardis to go backward. We see the doctor's appearance go back to past incarnations till the minute he 1st activated the Tardis. When the Tardis arrived at the moment before it was turned on, the time energy stops, the creature weakens and time starts going forward till the the Tardis reactivate and time again goes backwords, and so on and so forth. This eventually kills the creature and time flow on the Tardis is restored.
As I said the story is too short. The writer didn't bother to add more "flash" to the original story idea. Pity that this idea wasn't used to re-visit some of the doctor's past adventures.
