Episode Details
The Doctor's genetic bio-print is stolen from Gallifrey by a traitor,
and passed to a mysterious anti-matter alien who then seeks to cross into
the ordinary universe by bonding with the Doctor.
To prevent this, the High Council sentences the Doctor to death!
Can he escape and outwit the mysterious alien?
The evil Mara that possessed Tegan (in Kinda) controls her once again,
diverting the TARDIS to the planet Manussa, original home of the Mara
before it was banished into the outer darkness centuries ago.
There, it steals the Great Crystal and tries to use it to cross back into
the physical world!
Can the Doctor save Tegan and defeat the Mara once again?
The TARDIS materialises on a huge spacecraft, concealed above the Earth.
The Doctor and his companions are separated - the Doctor uses a transmat
device to go down to Earth, while Nyssa and Tegan follow in the TARDIS.
Arriving on Earth in 1977, Nyssa and Tegan meet up with the (retired)
Brigadier and search for the Doctor. They are horrified when they meet a
creature that claims to be the Doctor after an unsuccessful regeneration -
locked into a continuous cycle of regenerations! But is it the Doctor?
The TARDIS materialises aboard a space ship full of lepers heading towards
a promised cure on a space station called Terminus at the centre of the
Galaxy.
Nyssa contracts the disease and the Doctor sets out to discover the true
nature of the cure offered at Terminus...
"Some people have the strangest ideas about decor."
- The Doctor, referring to the skull design on the walls, TERMINUS
The White Guardian warns the Doctor of a terrible peril,
and sends the TARDIS to an Edwardian racing yacht.
The Doctor is amazed when he realised that the yacht is, in fact, a
space yacht and that the race is around the Solar system!
The Captain, Straker, and his officers are Eternals -
immortal beings with little imagination, racing for the ultimate prize of
Enlightenment.
The Buccaneer Captain of another ship, Wrack, is a servant of the
Black Guardian and must be prevented from winning the race at all costs!
"You are a Time Lord: a lord of time. Are there Lords in such a small domain?"
- Captain Striker, ENLIGHTENMENT
The Doctor and his companions arrive at a medieval joust and are surprised
to greeted warmly by King John, who calls them his demons. But a young
Nobleman returns, having just left King John in London -
this King must be an imposter!
Then the Master makes an appearance and the Doctor's worst fears are
confirmed...
Fitzwilliam: "He is said to be the best swordsman in France."
Doctor: "Well, fortunately, we are in England."
- THE KING'S DEMONS
Fitzwilliam: "And this... strange attire?"
Doctor: "Yes, well..."
THE KING'S DEMONS
The Doctor becomes ill as parts of his persona are Time Scooped - removed
from time. He returns to Gallifrey, only to discover that a deadly game
banned and derelict for centuries, has been reactivated. Soon he finds his
other selves have also been summoned to assist him in tracing the culprit
and tracking down the mysterious secret of Rassilon.
"A man is the sum of his memories, you know--a Time Lord even more so."
- Doctor(5), THE FIVE DOCTORS
"...[the Time Lords] delight in deviousness."
- Doctor(5), THE FIVE DOCTORS
