Sun 9:55-11AM GMT The Trial Of A Time Lord movie, pt 4 of 4 (The Ultimate Foe)
As the trial continues, the 6th Doctor provides evidence in his defense from an adventure in the future, when he battles a race of plants that want to wipe out animal life and plan to destroy humanity when they reach Earth. As the case approaches a conclusion, an uninvited guest makes life miserable for the jury, the 6th Doctor, the Inquisitor, and the Valeyard. The final 2 episodes of this story were plagued by the unexpected death of Robert Holmes before he could finish writing it, the resignation of the script editor who was trying to finish it, a new writing team having to create an ending without knowing what was intended, and the story running overlength. Unbeknowest to the writers and the cast, Colin Baker (6th Doctor) would be fired after this story aired, and would not be in the following season.
