Curse of Peladon: Taking a test flight in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Jo make an inelegant landing on the planet Peladon. Mistaken for representatives from Earth, the Doctor soon finds himself chairing the committee of alien delegates assessing Peladon's petition to join the Galactic Federation. When one of the King's advisors is killed, the High Priest fears that the ancient curse of Aggedor is at work, but the Doctor suspects his old enemies the Ice Warriors are to blame. Can the Doctor and Jo uncover the identity of the savoteurs before a major diplomatic incident plunges them into war?
Monster of Peladon: When the TARDIS lands 50 years after its first visit to Peladon, the Doctor and sarah discover a troubled planet ruled by the late King's daughter. Peladon is at the centre of a war - and the galatic Federation desperately needs a mineral found in the mines. But why is the ghost of Aggedor killing miners and why can't everyone be trusted? Queen Thalira needs the Doctor's help to find out...
