9.02 The Curse Of Peladon

Third Doctor, Jo

Taking a test flight, the tardis makes an inelegant landing on the planet Peladon.

 

 Mistaken for Earth's representative, 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 the ancient curse of Aggedor is at work, but The Doctor is sure that his old enemies the Ice Warriors are to blame. Can Jo and The Doctor uncover the identity of the saboteurs before a major diplomatic incident plunges them into war?
