This entire season was released on 1 October 2002 with minimal restoration and commentaries and pop-up production notes in region 1, both as a box set as well as being available individually. The Key to Time was broadcast from 2 September 1978 to 24 February 1979. Season 16 consists of one long story arc encompassing six separate, linked stories. Serialsĭouglas Adams took over as script editor from Anthony Read for The Armageddon Factor. This season was the only one to feature Tamm as the first incarnation of Romana, as the second incarnation, played by Lalla Ward, began her run in the first serial of the next season ( Destiny of the Daleks). Tom Baker continued his role as The Fourth Doctor, and saw the introduction of Romana played by Mary Tamm. The final segment is a female humanoid – Princess Astra.The fifth has been consumed by the squid Kroll, causing it to turn into a gigantic monster.The fourth is part of a statue on the planet Tara.The third is the Great Seal of Diplos, which has been stolen by a criminal of that planet.The second is the planet Calufrax, shrunk to miniature size by the space-hopping pirate planet Zanak.The first segment is disguised as a lump of Jethryk on the planet Ribos.Afterward, the Doctor decides to install a device called a randomiser into the TARDIS' navigation system for a period of time to make his following voyages unpredictable to evade the Black Guardian. However, the Doctor sees through the figure's charade and orders the segments of the Key to Time to once again become scattered across all of time and space, bar the sixth, which he reinstates as Princess Astra. In the final episode, the Black Guardian, disguised as the White Guardian, attempts to take the Key from the Doctor. The White Guardian also warns the Doctor of the Black Guardian who also wishes to obtain the Key to Time for his own purposes. However, since the forces balancing the universe are so upset, the White Guardian needs to recover the segments of the Key to stop the universe so that he can restore the balance. Since it is too powerful for any single being to possess, it has been split into six different segments and scattered across space and time, disguised by the raw elemental power within them into any shape or size. This single-story format, sometimes referred to as a "miniseries", would later be utilised for the third and fourth series of Torchwood.A figure calling himself the White Guardian commissions the Doctor and K9, assisted by a new companion, the Time Lady Romana, to find the six segments of the Key to Time, a cosmic artifact resembling a perfect cube that maintains the equilibrium of the universe. As a result, whether The Trial of a Time Lord should be considered one story or four has been intensely debated. For the first time, a season consisted of a single story, The Trial of a Time Lord, although this was made up of four serials from a production perspective: each serial was written by a different person (save for The Mysterious Planet and the first part of The Ultimate Foe, both of which were written by Robert Holmes) and featured a different story presented as evidence, excluding the final two episodes which concluded the ongoing story of the trial the trial storyline itself acted as a framing device to bracket the first three serials. Doctor Who had returned to production after a near-cancellation and an eighteen-month production hiatus. This season had a unique format, never again repeated in the show. Season 23 of Doctor Who premiered on September 6, 1986.
