"By local custom, a man may turn from a wife who cannot give him more than one son. But Charles assures Maria that he is a 'modern educated man'. When war drives them back to their village, events force Maria to re-think their marriage." - Radio Times, 1976

Doctor Who: Terminus
Mary Ridge
Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton
The TARDIS attaches itself to a space liner after Turlough, still under the Black Guardian's influence, damages its controls. The Doctor and Nyssa meet two space pirates, Kari and Olvir, who have come on board the liner in search of plunder, while Tegan and Turlough get lost in the infrastructure. The liner docks with what appears to be a hulk floating in space. This is Terminus, which claims to offer a cure for Lazar's disease. It is crewed by armoured slave workers, the Vanir. The cure is administered by a huge, dog-like creature known as the Garm. Nyssa, who has contracted the disease from sufferers transported aboard the liner, discovers that the cure - involving exposure to radiation - does actually work.
