Mindwarp is the second serial of the larger narrative known as The
Trial of a Time Lord which encompasses the whole of the 23rd season of
the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was first
broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 4 to 25 October 1986. The
title Mindwarp is not used on screen and appears only on the serial's
scripts with the four episodes that comprise the story being
transmitted as The Trial of a Time Lord Parts Five to Eight. This
story marks the final appearance of Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown.In the
serial, the alien time traveller the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) is put
on trial by his people, the Time Lords, and is accused of meddling in
the affairs of the planet Thoros Beta in the 24th century. Much of the
story consists of a video testimony presented by the prosecutor - the
Valeyard (Michael Jayston) - of the Doctor discovering the alien arms
dealer Sil (Nabil Shaban) is looking for a way to prolong the life of
Lord Kiv (Christopher Ryan) by transplanting Kiv's mind into
another.As with the other serials from Season 23, Mindwarp is framed
by the trial of the Sixth Doctor, prosecuted by the Valeyard, accusing
him of meddling in other species' affairs in a way unbecoming of a
Time Lord. The Valeyard provides evidence to the presiding Inquisitor
via a screen linked to the Matrix showing the details of the Doctor's
actions on the planet Thoros Beta. The bulk of the episode centres on
recorded narrative.
