Doctor Who:
The Pirate Planet
By Douglas Adams
“Appreciate it? Appreciate
it? What, you commit mass destruction and murder on a scale that's almost
inconceivable and you ask me to appreciate it? Just because you happen to have
made a brilliantly conceived toy out of the mummified remains of planets.”
The Doctor and Romana are
off to find the second segment to the Key to Time. They find out that it is on the planet
Calufrax but when The Doctor and Romana arrive they find themselves on
Zanak. Now The Doctor is confused and
blames it on the disturbance they felt while trying to materialize. What has the pair of time travelers confused
even more is that the locator is picking up strong traces for the second
segment.
Up on the mountain is the
Captain. He is a cyborg type pirate
captain who rules by installing fear with the aid of his killer robotic parrot.
There with the aid of Mr Fibuli they have come up with a way of materlizing
their planet among other planets and stealing the minerals of that world for
themselves. This process has killed
billions of species and must be stopped.
With the help of the telepathic Mentiads The Doctor and Romana must
return the destroyed planets stop the Pirate Captain and his weird nurse and
recover the next segment to the Key to Time.
