In the first of the arc's four episodes, the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), still bent on condemning the Doctor (Colin Baker) for breaking the Laws of Time, offers videotaped evidence between the Doctor and the infamous Sil (Nabil Shaban) on the latter's home planet, Thoros Beta. Written by Philip Martin, "Mindwarp, Episode 1" is listed in most sources as Doctor Who: The Trial of a Time Lord, Episode 5.
