Plot
Part one
Three weeks after arriving in York in 1984 instead of New York and losing Kamelion, the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are still looking for their android companion without success. Tegan is transported onto the Incredible Power Game gameshow as a contestant and Turlough goes looking for her, carrying a communicator so that the Doctor does not lose him as well, and soon learns from Una where she is. She explains that the Incredible Power Game is unlisted and appears on television in the middle of other programmes.
Turlough takes Una to the Doctor and the three of them go to her house to view her recording, in which Tegan is on a giant chessboard and retrieves a Power Gem with Sadia's help whilst avoiding a duplicate of herself. She wins no prizes beyond being invited to take part in the next episode, which Turlough finds unusual, and the Doctor suggests that any one of the other contestants could be Kamelion. The Doctor's tracker picks up a signal from Kamelion and gets Una's friend, Richard, drive them to its source: Richard's flat. Kamelion has become the Hostess of the show and is kidnapping Richard, but she instead takes Turlough.
