The Time Warrior (4) is the fourth episode of the eleventh season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The episode revolves around the Doctor and his companions, Graham, Yasmin, and Ryan, who travel back in time to medieval England and meet a legendary warrior named Irongron. The Doctor discovers that Irongron has been using a time machine to steal weapons from the future, and he must stop him before he causes irreparable damage to the timeline.

The episode opens with the TARDIS materializing in a castle in medieval England. The Doctor and her companions step out of the TARDIS and find themselves under attack by warriors armed with swords and crossbows. The Doctor quickly realizes that they have landed in the midst of a battle between two rival warlords, Irongron and Linx, who are fighting for control of the castle.

Irongron is a fierce warrior who has a reputation for being unbeatable in battle. He is aided by his loyal servant, Bloodaxe, and his mistress, Lady Eleanor, who is secretly in love with him. Linx, on the other hand, is an alien from the planet Sontar. He has come to Earth to find a way to repair his damaged spaceship, and he has allied himself with Irongron in exchange for his help.

The Doctor and her companions soon become embroiled in the conflict between Irongron and Linx. They discover that Irongron has been using a time machine to steal weapons from the future, which he believes will give him an advantage in battle. The Doctor realizes that this is a serious breach of the laws of time and decides to put a stop to it.

The Doctor and her companions sneak into Irongron's castle and find the time machine. They attempt to deactivate it, but are caught by Irongron and his servants. The Doctor manages to distract Irongron by challenging him to a game of chess, while her companions sneak away to disable the time machine.

Meanwhile, Linx discovers that one of Irongron's servants, Hal the Archer, has been spying on him for Lady Eleanor. Linx captures Hal and begins to question him about Irongron's plans. Hal reveals that Irongron intends to attack the neighboring castle of Sir Edward of Wessex, which will result in a massive loss of life.

The Doctor and her companions manage to disable the time machine, but not before Linx is able to use it to summon a spaceship to collect him. The Doctor realizes that Linx is planning to destroy the castle with his spaceship, which will also result in the death of everyone inside.

The Doctor confronts Linx, but he proves to be a formidable opponent. However, the Doctor manages to sabotage his spaceship, causing it to crash into the castle walls. The resulting explosion kills Linx and destroys the castle.

Irongron, Lady Eleanor, and Bloodaxe manage to escape before the castle is destroyed. The Doctor and her companions are left behind, stranded in medieval England. The Doctor vows to find a way to return them to the present, and they set off on a new adventure.

The Time Warrior (4) is a thrilling and action-packed episode of Doctor Who. It features an exciting adventure through time and space, as the Doctor and her companions battle to protect the timeline from those who would seek to manipulate it for their own gain. With dynamic characters, thrilling action, and a suspenseful plot, this episode is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
