#45: Box Set - The Key To Time
iv) The Androids Of Tara

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:
"It seems that the search for the fourth segment of the Key to Time will prove simple when Romana locates it on the planet Tara. But in a land where nothing is as it first appears, the Doctor and his companion quickly fins themselves embroiled in a deadly game of kidnap, deceit and counterpoint

It is not long before the Doctor himself is locking swords with the dastardly Count Grendel of Gracht, the finest bladesman in the kingdom, who has sinister plans for Romana..."
