StarringJon Pertwee Elisabeth Sladen Donald Gee Nina Thomas Frank Gatliff Rex Robinson Ralph Watson Ysanne Churchman Stuart Fell Gerald Taylor Graeme Eton Michael Crane Terry Walsh Nick Hobbs Roy Evans Alan Bennion Sonny Caldinez Max Faulkner Written byBrian Hayles Produced byBarry Letts Directed byLennie Mayne SynopsisWhen the TARDIS lands 50 years after its first visit to Peladon, the Doctor and Sarah discover a troubled planet ruled by the late King's daughter. Peladon is at the centre of a war - and the Galactic Federation desperately needs a mineral found in the mines. But why is the ghost of Aggedor killing miners and why can't everyone be trusted? Queen Thalira needs the Doctor's help to find out ... BackgroundAs the title implies, The Monster of Peladon features a planet the Doctor has been to before. This sequel to The Curse of Peladon cost-effectively reuses many of the monster costumes, props and sets from the first story, and the same director and designed also came back to work on the six-part tale. The story is a blatant parody of the 1973 miners' strike and the first draft of Brian Hayles' script was originally set while King Peladon still rules the planet. However, unhappy with several elements, producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dick decided to move the story to 50 years after The Curse of Peladon, lose the King and introduce Queen Thalira as King Peladon's daughter and heir. This monster-packed story saw the fourth and final appearance of the Ice Warriors in Doctor Who. The lumbering, breathless Martians had first been introduced when Patrick Troughton was the Doctor in The Ice Warriors (1967) and The Seeds of Death (1969). They returned for the first Peladon story, surprising the Doctor (and viewers) when it turned out they had given up violence and joined the Galactic Federation. The Monster of Peladon is the penultimate story of the Jon Pertwee era. Trips to alien planets in the TARDIS are rare for the Third Doctor, so it's ironic that he should return to two he has already visited for his last couple of adventures. His next and final story, Planet of the Spiders, sees a return to Metebelis III, where more monsters are waiting ... | ||
