UK Gold resumes its run of B&W stories with this classic Hartnell serial. Here, the Doctor and company are entrusted to search for the missing keys to a machine which will bring peace back to the planet. Watch out for the Voords sporting the latest fashion in diving outfits. The Doctor revisits the planet Peladon Sunday morning only to find that nothing much has changed (besides a queen now ruling instead of a king). This story marks the appearance of a certain Ice Warrior whose namesake is also the same as the alias a certain troller on rec.arts.drwho goes under.
