Line 7:
The search for the Key To Time takes the Doctor and Romana to present-day (well, 1970s) Earth, where the Tracer leads them to a group of standing stones on Boscome Moor. The third segment is nowhere to be found, and the travellers instead meet the elderly Professor Amelia Rumford and her assistant Vivien Fay, who tell them that the site has had a varying number of stones over the years.
Then the inevitable druids show up and inevitably nearly sacrifice the Doctor, before it is revealed that the stones themselves are sentient - a lifeform called Ogri who feed on blood. One of the Ogri kills the head druid and it is revealed that Vivien Fay is in fact the Cailleach, a being worshipped by the druids, having taken on human form after being on Earth for thousands of years. Fay transports Romana to a spaceship hidden in hyperspace at the circle, and the Doctor follows.
Accidentally releasing two justice robots, the Doctor is sentenced to death but he tricks them into instead knocking Fay unconscious. Reading her mind, the robots (called Megara) establish that Fay is in fact Cessair of Diplos, the criminal they have been sent to try. They transform her into the final stone in the circle, but not before the Doctor has snagged her necklace - the segment of the Key that he has been looking for.
