‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Monster of Peladon’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time for us to return to Peladon, as we take a look at the second of the ‘Peladon Tales’ in ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘The Monster of Peladon’. This is a six-part adventure, starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor and Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. This story also features the Ice Warriors as well as Alpha Centauri. Does ‘The Monster of Peladon’ match well to how I’ve enjoyed ‘The Curse of Peladon’? This six-part adventure can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.
