The Keys of Marinus

Written by: Terry Nation

1st Aired: 11 Apr 64-16 May 64

Companions: Susan, Ian, Barbara

Location: Planet Marinus

The Doctor and his friends are forced to seek after four microcircultry Keys which together with a fifth Key operate the Conscience of Marinus machine. Preset "traveldials" lead them to places all over the planet where the Keys are to be found. In the first, only Barbara sees beyond the illusions that enslave a city. In the second, Susan is the first to hear the whispering of malevolent planets. In the third, they are caught between the dangers of bitter cold, frozen warriors and a treacherous trapper. And in the fourth, Ian is framed for murder Even if they survive all that, they may already be to late to stop the evil Voord from gaining control of the Conscience and therefore the planet itself.
