The Twin Dilemma - Part 1
Romulus and Remus, twin brothers, are abducted by Edgeworth, an old man. He transports them aboard a spaceship. Edgeworth answers to Mestor, an alien. Edgeworth is tasked by Mestor with bringing the twins to him.
The Doctor gets used to his new form. He decides that he needs a change of clothes. He insults Peri and then attacks her. Peri manages to get him to back off with a mirror. He passes out. The Doctor decides that he needs to atone for what he's done, after he wakes up and Peri tells him all about it.
Romulus and Remus are locked up. They try to send out a distress call. There are people looking for them but the twins have no idea where they are.
The Doctor picks Titan III as the place where he will contemplate what he did. Peri has no say in the matter. They hear a great crashing noise after they arrive on Titan III. They investigate and find the wreckage of a spaceship. They find one survivor. They bring him into the TARDIS. The episode ends as the survivor pulls a gun and points it at the Doctor.
Thoughts
The Doctor and Peri don't leave the TARDIS or cross paths with anyone until the last few minutes of this episode.
This is the first story to star Colin Baker as the Doctor. I don't recall seeing it before. It isn't supposed to be very good. So far it seems to be living up to that reputation. I'm watching it out of curiosity as much as for any other reason. I decided not to buy the DVD this time around and am watching it on Pluto TV.
