Back to the start of the Tom Baker era. U*N*I*T's investigation into thefts of top secret plans and equipment are hampered by the eccentricities of their scientific advisor, whose mind is a tad hazy from regenerating into a new body. Meanwhile, a giant Robot is lumbering around.

It appears that UKTV Gold is skipping more than just Dalek stories this time around. They're skipping The Sontaran Experiment as well, which goes after The Ark In Space and before Genesis of the Daleks. Hmm.
