#45: Box Set - The Key To Time
ii) The Pirate Planet

NOTE - The release of the Key To Time box set was the most extensive release yet. It took all 6 stories from the 16th series and released the 26 episode together in a limited edition, numbered (15,000) box set.



Release date - September 2007

Box info:
"Contains the complete 26 episode story-arc
Plus 9 commentaries (over 16 hours)
Plus over 6 1/2 hours of additional special features

The Doctor, K9 and his new Time Lord friend, Romana are chosen to find the 6 segments of the Key to Time by the White Guardian. They use the core or the 'tracer' for them to land on the planets to find the segments — a lump of Jethryk, a shrunken planet called Caulfrax, the great seal of Diplos, part of a statue, the 5th has been eaten by the squid 'Kroll' and the final segment is a human being. Can the Doctor get the segments together before the universe is plunged into chaos?"




Back cover info:
"The Doctor and Romana arrive on the planet Zanak, looking for the second segment of the Key to Time. Although priceless gems are scattered on the streets, and the night sky changes with the dawn of each new prosperous age, the townsfolk live in fear

For in a fortress overlooking the city, the terrifying Pirate Captain is in control of the most destructive force in the galaxy..."
