Plot

In the second episode of the four-part story "The Androids of Tara," the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana (Mary Tamm) arrive on the medieval planet Tara, in search of the fourth segment of the Key to Time. No sooner has Romana located the segment than she is seized by the minions of the wicked Count Grendel of Gracht (Peter Jeffrey). The reason? Romana happens to be a dead ringer for Princess Strella (also played by Mary Tamm), the reluctant bride-to-be of Prince Reynart (Neville Jason). Written by David Fisher, "The Androids of Tara, Episode 2" first aired on December 2, 1978. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
