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?

Note new start time. The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy describes the Pirate Planet thusly: "Zanak. Population: 6 Million. Annual Death Rate: 60 Billion. Galactic Location: uncertain. Leadership: pompous, but endearing. Copyright Restrictions: if you're not Douglas Adams, don't write the book on it, because we'll find you. We know where you live. We know what brand of sunflower seeds you are sucking on. So watch out."
