From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

This article is written from the Real World point of view.

The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance is an unproduced single-episode First Doctor story by Moris Farhi which was submitted to David Whitaker during the first season of Doctor Who (according to release information it was submitted during the period DW: The Daleks was being broadcast).

The script is described by the Doctor Who News Page as a "tester" script, suggesting it may not have been intended for broadcast. The official website suggests it was considered the "opening script" to a possibly longer planned storyline that was never completed. It is unknown whether, therefore, "The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance" was intended to be the overall title of the serial or simply the episode title. The script itself, however, presents a story that is a standalone single-episode piece.

In August 2009 the publisher Nothing at the End of the Lane published the script for the first time in the collection Farewell Great Macedon.
