Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Answering a distress call from the farthest reaches of the Universe, the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) pilot the TARDIS to the planet Zeta Minor. Here they come across a ship from planet Moestra, whose science officer, Professor Sorenson (Frederick Jaeger) defiantly insists upon transporting deadly anti-matter into the Matter Universe -- which, as will soon be learned, is an act that goes way beyond recklessness. Written by David Maloney, "Planet of Evil" marked the return appearance of the familiar TARDIS control room, which hadn't been seen since Season 11. The first of the adventure's four episodes was originally broadcast September 27, 1975. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
