A well-meaning mad scientist forces the Doctor's companions to retrieve four "keys" which he's hidden around his world.

Possibly the worst story I've seen yet from Doctor Who outside of the 1980s. There's a bonus feature on the DVD which basically consists of the set designer apologizing for ten minutes about how bad this story is. (He also happens to mention some evidence of how appallingly clueless both the writer and director were.) It doesn't help any that the Doctor's only in three of the six episodes (with no explanation as to why, naturally - Terry Nation doesn't go in for that whole "making sense" thing).

The French Revolutionary government imprisons the Doctor's friends.

Extremely boring. The two animated episodes are nearly unwatchable.
