(Apologies for last week. I got my weeks crossed. Snakedance aired last week, not Terminus.) The TARDIS gets confused when a ship straddles 1977 and 1983, causing the 5th Doctor to wind up in one time zone while Nyssa and Tegan wind up in the other. In both time zones, Brigadier Alaistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart interferes, with surprising consequences. Weekday episodes suspended until the weekend airings get to Timelash.
