Tom Baker donned the long, multicolored scarf once again for his sixth
season as the Fourth Doctor.
In "Destiny of the Daleks," the Doctor and
Romana (Lalla Ward) are caught in the middle of a centuries-long battle
between the Time Lord's oldest foes and the equally merciless Movellans.
Then, an alien spaceship trapped on prehistoric Earth, a mysterious
count (Julian Glover) living in present-day Paris, and a locked room
full of authentic Mona Lisa paintings add up to a tantalizing mystery
for the Doctor and Romana, in "City of Death." Scripted by Douglas
Adams.
Landing on the jungle planet Chloris, the Doctor, Romana, and K-9
(voiced by David Brierley) fall prey to evil ruler Lady Adrasta (Myra
Francis), who seeks to control the world's only metal mine, in "The
Creature from the Pit."
"Nightmare of Eden" finds a scientist's
crystalline "recordings" of creatures from the planet Eden threatening
to overrun an interstellar liner, and only the Doctor and his companions
can save the ship and it's occupants.
As if a black hole didn't put the
Doctor, Romana, K-9, and their disabled TARDIS in enough jeopardy, they
must also save the people of planet Aneth from falling victim to
invasion plans by the Skonnon Empire, in "The Horns of Nimon."
And
finally, a BBC strike halted filming of "Shada," a never-broadcast
adventure presented here as a mix of live-action and animation. The
story follows the Doctor, Romana, and K-9 as a visit to a Time Lord
living incognito on Earth leads to a desperate race to a distant prison
planet.
