WTTW split the story into two parts, with the break occuring at the start of episode four when Sskel tells his prisoners not to move. [source: ChicagoEpguides]

Intro: Tonight, The Doctor returns to Peladon after an absence of fifty years and finds to his consternation that the monster of Aggedor is again spreading terror and death. We have no doubt as to The Doctor's ability to put things right, but be forewarned: it will take quite a while.

Outro: Keep the coffee hot, the conclusion of "The Monster of Peladon" follows almost immediately. [source: ChicagoEpguides]

Outro: It waxes late, so I shall not presume further on your evening, save to note that next Sunday night will bring "The Time Warrior." You are probably fighting time yourself at this moment, so I bid you good night. [source: ChicagoEpguides]
