Wed-Thu The Ribos Operation pts 3 - 4 of 4
Jethryk, Jethryk, who's got the Jethryk? The con men want it for the cash. The superstitious government wants it for their Crown Jewels. The insane Graff Vynda-K wants it to finance his army. And the 4th Doctor, Romana, and K9 need it, as it happens to be the first segment of the Key To Time.
Fri The Pirate Planet pt 1 of 4
Romana takes a scandalous course of action that leaves the Doctor stunned in horror - she lands the TARDIS without his help.
Sat The Talons of Weng-Chiang all 6 pts
Note the new later start time for the evening weekend airings. Magic, Chinatown, murder, a clever coroner, and a cowardly stage manager lead to an exciting outing for the 4th Doctor and Leela in 19th Century London. The Doctor exchanges his regular outfit for a very Sherlock Holmes-like cape of essentially the same colors, just for this story.
Sun Horror of Fang Rock all 4 pts
Lost in the fog, the TARDIS brings the 4th Doctor and Leela to a lighthouse where an alien bodysnatching invasion is underway. One by one the humans die, and only the Doctor can figure out why.
Mon-Tue The Pirate Planet pts 2 - 3 of 4
Romana and the 4th Doctor can't find the 2nd segment of the Key To Time. It appears it was on the planet Calufrax. But another planet has destroyed Calufrax and stolen its place in the galaxy.
