The programme: Doctor Who - Terror of the Vervoids part 1-3
The date: Thursday 9th March 2023
The time: 8.15pm (GMT)
The place: right here!
This story is a part of the season-long story, Trial of a Timelord, in which The Time Lords have brought the Doctor to trial, accusing him of gross interference in the affairs of other planets. If he is found guilty he must forfeit all his remaining regenerations.
The previous two stories (unofficially titled The Mysterious Planet and Mindwarp) have shown the Doctor in a bad light, and so, in the hope of proving his innocence, Melanie Bush, an as-of-yet unmet companion from later in his life, is summoned to the court. Hopefully, through her help, the jurors will be reassured in letting the Doctor go free by seeing what good acts he stands to commit as opposed to destructive ones.
In his defence, the Doctor tells of an adventure from his personal future - set on board the Hyperion III space liner in his future. Answering a distress call, the Doctor and Mel arrive on the liner just as a series of grisly murders begins.
We're watching this story rather than the whole Trial of a Timelord because it features Michael Craig as the Commodore, but we thought it would be nice to also watch the two-part conclusion to the whole story (The Ultimate Foe), so that it all makes sense in the end. Because of that, we'll watch three episodes of Terror of the Vervoids tonight, then episode 4 next week, along with The Ultimate Foe.
