After a strong magnetic field throws the TARDIS off course, the Doctor and his companions find themselves on a spaceship headed for Earth. Overseen by Monarch, the ship contains billions of Urbankans and several Earthling guests from the distant past. While Monarch would have the Doctor believe that his intentions are peaceful, Monarch's guests suggest his plans for Earth are much more nefarious. And besides, if Monarch means no harm, why is his ship carrying all that poison? Four to Doomsday feels a lot like a First Doctor story. It takes place primarily on a spaceship and the Doctor gets a little cranky with his young companions. It's not hard to see why though. Tegan never stops complaining and Adric has gone full chauvinist prick. Nyssa, despite getting sidelined multiple times, is the only companion that doesn't seem to piss the Doctor off. It probably helps that she's able to stop a soldier from cutting off the Doctor's head.
