Episode Details
The Mandragora Helix, a being composed entirely of energy,
enters the TARDIS and hence reaches 15th century Italy.
There, the Mandragora energy takes control of the black magic cult of Demnos,
and plans to destroy the best minds of the Renaissance.
"It's part of a Time Lord's job to insist on justice for all species."
- Doctor, THE MASQUE OF MANDRAGORA
The TARDIS materialises in a quarry just as the rock face is blasted away
by open cast miners. Sarah-Jane is buried and when the Doctor and the miners
dig her out, she is grasping a hand made of rock incredibly tightly.
Soon, under it's influence, she breaks into a nuclear power plant and places
the hand in the radio-active core; soon it starts to regrow a body and
gains a life of it's own.
The Doctor is summoned to Gallifrey by a vision of the new President being
assassinated.
Once there, he tries to prevent the assassination, but the President is shot
despite his efforts, and the Doctor is found high above the Panoptican
clutching the murder weapon. He is arrested and sentenced to death!
Can he escape and reveal the true killers?
"You do not understand hatred as I understand it. Only hate keeps me alive. Why else should I endure this pain? I must see the Doctor die in shame and dishonour. Yes--and I must destroy the Time Lords. Nothing else matters. Nothing."
- The Master, THE DEADLY ASSASSIN
The Doctor lands on a planet populated by two groups - the primitive
Sevateem and the priestly Tesh.
He is shocked to discover that the Sevateem's God, Xoanon,
bears his own face!
What has he done, and can he defeat himself?
"We live in an imperfect universe."
- The Doctor, THE FACE OF EVIL
"Dead as a Dalek."
- The Doctor, THE FACE OF EVIL
The Doctor and his new companion Leela land on a giant Sandminer, which mines
airborne minerals from an arid world. It is crewed by a few humans and a large
number of robots.
A crew member is murdered, and all the crew have alibis.
The Doctor realises that the robots are being reprogrammed to kill!
The Doctor takes Leela to Victorian London, where a series of young women
have disappeared.
A vicious Chinese Tong and their God, Weng Chiang, appear to be involved -
but can an ancient Chinese God really be stalking the fog-cloaked streets
of London?
