The Guardian of Time gives the Doctor a difficult task, and a new assistant. Together they must search for the six segments of the Key to Time, to prevent the Universe from being plunged into eternal chaos.

On their mission, the Doctor and Romana travel to the planet Ribos where the first segment of the key is protected by the monstrous Shrivenzale.

Saturday at 10:30PM - The Ribos Operation - movie version
The 4th Doctor's vacation is ruined when a mysterious fraud calling himself "The White Guardian" convinces the Doctor to search for The Key To Time. With new companions Romana and K9 2, the Doctor travels to a medaevil society which a warlord is trying to buy to replenish his fleet of mercenaries. It's actually much more interesting then this, as viewers'll see.
