First Transmitted: 30 August - 20 September 1975

Plot

The Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry return to Earth in response to the Brigadier's summons. UNIT are investigating a series of attacks on North Sea oil rigs and have set up a temporary HQ in the Scottish village of Tulloch. The attacks are the work of a huge cyborg, the Skarasen, controlled by a group of aliens called Zygons whose spaceship lies at the bottom of Loch Ness.   

VS

Planet Of Evil

"You and I are scientists, Professor. We buy our privilege to experiment at the cost of total responsibility. "

First Transmitted: 27 September - 18 October 1975

Plot

The TARDIS picks up a distress call and the Doctor and Sarah arrive on the planet Zeta Minor. There they discover that a Morestran geological expedition has fallen prey to an unseen killer and only the leader, Professor Sorenson, remains alive. A military mission from Morestra has also arrived to investigate. The culprit is revealed to be a creature from a universe of antimatter, retaliating for the removal by Sorenson of some antimatter samples from around the pit that acts as an interface between the two universes.

[Vampyros Adric]

Terror of the Zygons for me too (and very surprising that it hasn't received the 2Entertain makeover it so richly deserves

[Nyki]

Another two great stories, but Terror of the Zygons takes it

[Jazza1971]

Terror of the Zygons for me too. I suspect 2Entertain are holding this one off to be the last release so that they go out with a bang.

The mysterious, wraith-like Watcher brings Nyssa from Traken to join them and warns of impending danger - something that is borne out as the Master arrives and kills a number of the Logopolitans

VS

Shada

"When I was on the river I heard the strange babble of inhuman voices, didn't you, Romana?"

Plot

The story revolves around the lost planet Shada, on which the Time Lords built a prison for defeated would-be conquerors of the universe. Skagra, an up-and-coming would-be conqueror of the universe, needs the assistance of one of the prison's inmates, but finds that nobody knows where Shada is anymore except one aged Time Lord who has retired to Earth, where he is masquerading as a professor at St. Cedd's College, Cambridge. Luckily for the fate of the universe, Skagra's attempt to force the information out of Professor Chronotis coincides with a visit by the professor's old friend, the Doctor.

[Slfriend79]

Is it 'Logopolis Vs Warrior's Gate' or 'Logopolis Vs Shada'?

In either case, I'd take 'Warrior's Gate' or 'Shada' ...I've never liked 'Logopolis'.  

[The Doc]

Slfriend, it's meant to be Shada, not Warriors Gate. I changed the title to the right story

Logopolis for me

[Tardis-Console]

[Saber]
