The Ribos Operation

The Doctor and his new K9 unit are all set to go on holiday when they are interrupted by the White Guardian. The Doctor reluctantly agrees to take on the task of recovering the six segments of the Key to Time. With each segment having been scattered throughout the universe and disguised to hide its true form. To aid in his quest, the Doctor is paired up with the young Time Lord (Time Lady? Lady Time Lord?) Romana. Their search for the first segment takes them to the planet Ribos. There they encounter con artists, war criminals, psychics, heretics and blood-thirsty monsters. The Ribos Operation feels a lot like one of the Third Doctor's adventures on Peladon, combining courtly intrigue with crumbling caverns in the best possible ways. The sets, the costumes, the characters and the script are all top notch. The Ribos Operation is a real breath of fresh air after some of the stale stories from the previous season.

Rating: It's either Romana or Fred%
