In 1986, Colin Baker returned as The Doctor after an 18 month gap after possible cancellation of the show. The series was shortened to 14 episodes & going back to 25 minute episodes as oppose to 45 the previous season. This unique season is one long story following the ups & downs of the doctor on trial where we say goodbye to Peri & hello to Mel, we see the return of Sil & meet the Valeyard! Let the trial commence!

"The Sixth Doctor is tried by the High Council of Time Lords for breaking several of the laws of Gallifrey, the Time Lords' home world, including interference with outside worlds and genocide. A mysterious character called the Valeyard acts as prosecutor. In the first two chapters (The Mysterious Planet and Mindwarp) events from the Doctor's past and present are submitted as evidence of his guilt. The third chapter (Terror of the Vervoids) presents future events in the Doctor's defence. In the concluding chapter (The Ultimate Foe) the Doctor's trial is halted, and the Doctor confronts the Valeyard and his old rival, the Master, in order to clear his name and to save the High Council".
