Episode Details
Warriors of the Deep
The Doctor and his companions arrive on Sea Base 4, a 21st century underwater
nuclear missile base. The Base comes under attack from Sea Devils and Silurians,
and their prime weapon a fearsome creature called the Myrka. The Silurians
plan to fire the base's nuclear missiles, provoking a full scale nuclear
war which will destroy mankind. Can the Doctor persuade them to try a more
peaceful solution?
The Awakening
Mock wargames reconstructing the English Civil War become dangerously real,
as Sir George Hutchinson begins to lose his mind, under the telepathic
influence of the Malus, an evil creature entombed in the local Church since
the Civil War! Tegan is forced to become the Queen of the May and is horrified
when she discovers the Queen's traditional fate to be burned alive!
Frontios
The TARDIS loses its integrity and breaks apart into many pieces, stranding
the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough in the far future on the remote planet of
Frontios. They find a small group of humans apparently, the only survivors
of the human race barely surviving after the crash of their spacecraft.
They are under constant bombardment by meteors, and some of them have mysteriously
disappeared. Turlough and Norna, a young female survivor, stumble across
an underground cave system and start exploring it. Norna disappears and
Turlough is found wandering around in a state of shock. The Doctor must
try to make sense of Turlough's ramblings, and discover what is happening
to the survivors and can he repair the TARDIS?
Resurrection of the Daleks
In a deserted area of the London Docks, a group of fugitives appear from
thin air, and are gunned down by two menacing policemen with futuristic
weapons. The Doctor detects and then follows a time corridor, and discovers
that a group of mercenaries are trying to liberate Davros from his long
cryogenic imprisonment on board a specially constructed prison satellite.
"You are soft. Like all Time lords, you prefer to stand and watch.
Action requires courage. Something you lack."
- Davros, RESURRECTION OF THE DALEKS
"It's, uh, it's strange. I left Gallifrey for similar reasons. I'd
grown tired of their lifestyle. It seems I must mend my ways."
- The Doctor, RESURRECTION OF THE DALEKS
"The Daleks are very capable of devising painful and undignified
ways of dying."
- Stein, RESURRECTION OF THE DALEKS
Planet of Fire
A young American
girl, Peri, discovers a strange artifact while holidaying with her step-father
in the Mediterranean. After an accident, Turlough brings her aboard the
TARDIS to recover. The artifact leads the Doctor to the volcanic world
of Sarn, where Turlough begins to find the natives strangely familiar.
Peri is left behind on the TARDIS with Kamelion, who begins to act strangely,
finally shapeshifting into the form of the Master!
"I sometimes think those mutated misfits will terrorize the universe
for the rest of time."
- The Doctor, PLANET OF FIRE
The Caves of Androzani
The Doctor and Peri arrive on Androzani Minor in a vast underground cave
system, where they are mistaken for gun-runners by General Chellak's soldiers.
Sentenced to death, they are rescued by Sharaz Jek, a hideously disfigured
ex-scientist who is plotting his revenge on Morgus, the corrupt industrialist
who caused Jek's disfigurement. The Doctor and Peri find they are both
suffering from Spectrox Toxoemia, a progressively fatal condition that
can only be cured by the milk of a rare bat. As the effects of the Toxoemia
become worse, can the Doctor find the antidote before they both die?
"Might regenerate. Don't know. Feels different this time." - Doctor,
THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI
The Twin Dilemma
Having regenerated in order to recover from the Toxoemia, the new Doctor
starts acting erratically, nearly strangling Peri and then deciding to
become a hermit! He also changes clothes, exhibiting an amazing lack of
sartorial taste.
"Yuck." - The Doctor or Peri, THE TWIN DILEMMA
