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.

WUFT has given 2 hours to Doctor Who this pledge weekend, but hasn't said which Doctor Who story will air. Story-wise, they should air the conclusion of Trial Of A Time Lord, but that is only 55 minutes long. Runs until 7PM, whatever it is.
