A race of giant Gastropods has taken over the planet Jaconda. Their leader, Mestor, now intends to cause an enormous explosion in order to spread his people's eggs throughout the galaxy, and he kidnaps juvenile twin geniuses from Earth to work out the necessary mathematical equations. Space fighters led by Lieutenant Hugo Lang are dispatched to get the twins back, but they come under attack and Lang is the sole survivor when his ship crashes on the asteroid Titan III. A newly regenerated Doctor and Peri become involved and help Jaconda's elderly former ruler Professor Edgeworth, who is really a Time Lord named Azmael, to defeat Mestor and free the planet's bird-like indigenous people from the gastropods' reign of terror. Azmael, however, sacrifices his life in the process.

L'action se déroule dans l'aile G de la prison pour femmes de Larkhall. Nous suivons le quotidien des condamnées mais aussi celui des membres du personnel. La série met en lumière les difficultés que représente la vie dans une prison pour femmes, autant au niveau pratique qu'humain. Elle n'hésite pas à aborder un certain nombre de thèmes polémiques comme par exemple le fait que les autorités britanniques continuent d'utiliser des gardiens de sexe masculin dans les ailes féminines ou bien les traumatismes liés à la séparation des détenues d'avec leurs enfants pourtant parfois nés en prison pendant le temps de leur incarcération. Les conflits entre les détenues et les gardiens sont le quotidien de Larkhall et les directeurs qui se succèdent doivent gérer aussi bien les dérapages des gardiens que les humeurs des détenues. Les conflits liés aux abus de pouvoir exercés sur les détenues ou entre les membres du personnel perturbent régulièrement la gestion de la prison.

Peak Practice is a British drama series about a GP surgery in Cardale — a small fictional town in the Derbyshire Peak District — and the doctors who worked there. It ran on ITV from 10 May 1993 to 30 January 2002 and was one of their most successful series at the time. It originally starred Kevin Whately as Dr Jack Kerruish, Amanda Burton as Dr Beth Glover and Simon Shepherd as Dr Will Preston, though the roster of doctors would change many times over the course of the series. Cardale was based on the Staffordshire village of Longnor for the final series, but was previously based in the Derbyshire village of Crich, although certain scenes were filmed at other nearby Derbyshire towns and villages, most notably Matlock, Belper and Ashover.
