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?"

"The search for the third segment of the Key to Time leads the Doctor, Romana and K9 to Boscombe Moor on Earth in the late 20th century.

What is the link between an ancient Celtic goddess, an alien criminal and a transporter ship concealed in hyperspace? And can the Doctor escape the Druidic sacrifice of blood to uncover the mystery of the moving stones?" Special features - Commentary with Mary Tamm (Romana) and Darrol Blake (director)
