Doctor Who Season 9

The BBC lost the PAL (UK TV system) master tape of episode 2 of the Sea Devils, but found an American NTSC system tape of sufficient quality to convert it back into PAL to complete the story in color.

Episode Details

The Day of the Daleks

UNIT is placed in charge of security at a crucial Peace Conference, guarding Sir Reginald Styles, the diplomat with the best chance of averting a war between the Chinese and Russians. A mysterious guerilla force appears, attempts to kill Styles and then disappears with Jo and the Doctor - into a terrifying future Earth ruled by the Daleks and their brutish slaves, the Ogrons. The guerillas explain that the Daleks overran the Earth after a nuclear war back in the 20th century - caused by Styles. They believe the war and subsequent invasion can be averted by killing Styles. But are they right?

The Curse of Peladon

The Time Lords send the Doctor and Jo to the primitive planet of Peladon. King Peladon and his Chancellor wish Peladon to join the Galactic Federation, and are entertaining a delegation from the Federation. The Doctor is mistaken for the Earth delegate, and becomes suspicious when he finds that an Ice Warrior is among the other delegates. Shortly after their arrival, the Chancellor is murdered, apparently by Aggedor - the mythical Royal Beast of Peladon. The Doctor investigates, discovers that there is a conspiracy to prevent Peladon joining the Federation, falls foul of the religious laws of Peladon and has to engage the King's Champion in a duel, and eventually comes face to face with a very real, very hairy and rather large Aggedor. Jo, meanwhile, has her hands full when King Peladon falls in love with her! Can the Doctor stay alive long enough to defeat the conspiracy?

They discover that Solos is under the tyrannical rule of the sadistic Marshal, who has the Earth Administrator murdered, and then embarks upon an insane plan to convert the atmosphere into an Oxygen rich one, killing off the entire race of Mutants while making the planet suitable for human colonization. Can the Doctor save the Mutants?
