The Doctor, Romana and K9 face new dangers searching for the second segment to the Key to Time. What has happened to the planet it is hidden on?

Instead of landing on Calufrax as originally intended, they arrive on a different planet and encounter the Mentiads, and the strange Captain.

Broadcast notes:

Intro: The time is out of joint, the heavens untuned, and undoubtedly The Black Guardian is the culprit, for even your announcer was caught unawares. And the third key to time was procured by The Doctor before the second. That will be remedied this night in a belated journey to "The Pirate Planet."

Outro: The second key now obtained, following the third's acquisition last week, next week's goal is the fourth. And Whoites, who accept chronological dislocations with equanimity, will adapt with the easy grace that is the hallmark of the cognoscenti. So join us next Sunday night at 11 when The Doctor decides to take a rest and allow Romana to find the fourth key on her own as she journeys to the pleasant and peaceful planet of Tara.
