Doctor Who (Original)
Getting the fourth segment of the Key to Time is the easiest part of the trip to the planet Tara, whose idyllic atmosphere lulls the doctor inti a mood to go fishing and leave the segment-tracing to Romana. She locates it after a short walk on a beautiful day, but her luch changes when she meets the courtly Count Grendel.Contrary to appearances, Tara is a hotbed of poloitical intrigue, and beneath its Old World veneer lies a surprising advanced level of technological development that includes lifelike androids and electric swords. Count Grendel mistakes Romana for an android double of Princess Strella, and carries her away for future use in his plot to wrench the crown from its rightful claimant, Prince Reynart.Meanwhile, the Doctor arouses suspicion when Prince Reynart's men discover him fishing on the Prince's estate. Before he and Romana can leave Tara, the Doctor will be unwillingly thrust in the roles of android repair-man, king-maker and ultimately, swordsman - when he finds himself lockind swords with Grendel, the finest swordsman of all Tara.
Arriving on the techno-Ruritanian world of Tara, Romana easily obtains the Fourth Segment. Getting off the planet, however, isn't going to be quite so easy...
The Doctor must employ a desperate gambit to keep the evil Grendel off the throne. And the Count has a new pawn to play - Romana.
The Doctor and Romana are swept up in the political machinations of Tara. The Doctor must keep the android "king" running while Grendel plots to use Romana to destroy him.
Grendel plans two weddings and a funeral to cement his hold over Tara. The Doctor and K-9 race to foil him and save the Time Lady's life.
