    9/10

    The Doctor is having a game of chess with k-9 .

    mate in 11 moves.

    Romana materialises the the TARDIS on Tara.

    Romana looks for a Tara get up.

    The Doctor wants to go fishing.

    The Doctor goes fishing and Roman looks for 4th
    segment to the key to time.

    I suspect this script was not not an oroginal Key to Time party.

    Romana does find the the segment, part of a statue.

    As she picks it up a Taran Ape creature appears to attck her.

    The antagonis Count Grendel of Graff
    to the resuce.

    Graff thinks Romana is an android .


    The Doctor is captured by the PRince's men The Good guys.

    Here is the getter.

    a mostly medieval feudal society using electroncs to build
    android. Weaponry, bullet bolts and charged swords.

    Larmia is a loyal servant to Gerndel.

    She get what she deserves.

    The Price aND THE ANDRIOD.

    DOCTOR helps the good guys as best as he can.


    The Prince is kidnapped and The Doctor uses his wits to win the day.

    Romana is mistaken for an andriod until
    she is found to be a human being.

    She is the doppleganger for Princess Strella.

    Mary Tamm proves her multiple talents quite well.

    She is Romana I, princess Strella and their android counterparts.

    K-9 shines well as assistant and weapon.

    Count Grendel being furious at the coronation shows how unscrupulous he is.

    The Doctor being a craw in the side of Count Grendal is grand.


    The Potent wine scence. A bit of mistrust but still the Doctor
    does come through.

    Overall a political gem the Doctor gets the best of.

    As for the Major characters, all well doen.

    Strella and Reinhart reunite.

    No doubt they get married.

    The Count flees his caslte.

    The Doctor and Romana made good on what they came for.

    And you have ot read the novel about K-9 getting resued
    from being strnded in the moat.

    Interesting idea. It would explain why actually finding the
    segment is so quick.


    Larmia is a loyal servant to Gerndel.

    She get what she deserves.

    Lamia is in love with Grendel, and he also has power over her. He
    takes advantage of her. She's wrong to go along with him, but
    surely no worse than Grendel's other retainers.


    And you have ot read the novel about K-9 getting resued

    Why not tell us? How did he get rescued?

    The story was always part of the Key to Time quest. However,
    the script in its earliest form had the planet being called Zend
    and some early working titles for the story were "The Androids
    of Zend" and "The Prisoners of Zend"... somebody at the BBC
    obviously thought those titles were too on the nose, so they
    were changed.

    The six stories [of Season 16] were commissioned as part of the
    Key to Time saga though.

    Still Zend/ZEnd would be a copyrtight violation.

    lights on in a dead group by reposting from archives. I soon realized
    that he was just endlessly reposting his own stuff, that he had killed
    the group by flooding it, and that most of the people he called
    "trolls" were actually the members of the group.
    I've joined the crowd. I'm done trying to work with him and speak reason
