The Doctor, Romana and K9 face new dangers searching for the second segment to the Key to Time. What has happened to the planet it is hidden on?
Instead of landing on Calufrax as originally intended, they arrive on a different planet and encounter the Mentiads, and the strange Captain.

Yup. NHPTV has added a late Saturday rerun of the Thursday episodes. In search of the second segment of the Key To Time, the Doctor and Romana come across a world that jumps through space periodically, resulting in a sudden increase in mineral wealth. Something is rotten in the center of the world.
