www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8CXvMPRxQThe Moderator is a comic strip story from DWM in issues 84, 86-87. It was the final run of DWM's regular Fifth Doctor comic strip stories. Also featuring Gus. Written by Steve Parkhouse with art by Steve Dillon. This is a fan-made presentation of the story. The villain of the piece is Josiah W. Dogbolter, who is half-man, half-frog and the said Moderator was a troubleshooter employed by him to locate the TARDIS for him. What triggered this hunt of the TARDIS was that the Doctor and Gus were on the planet Celeste to deal with problems there. Celeste is a mining planet and it just happened to be owned by Dogbolter. At one time the Doctor and Gus were captured by Dogbolter and discovered they came here by time machine the TARDIS. Ultimately the Doctor and Gus make their escape and this when Dogbolter called in the Moderator. The denouement to this results in tragedy and marking quite a sombre note for the Fifth Doctor's swansong in the DWM comic strips. To further emphasise the sombreness is how the song We'll Meet Again played its part in proceedings.
