Arriving on earth in the year 1925, the Doctor (Peter Davison) is mistaken for a champion cricket player. As a result, the Doctor and his companions are whisked off to the lavish country estate of team owner Lord Cranleigh (Michael Cochrane) to be wined and dined on the eve of an important test match. But the time-travelers -- Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) in particular -- suspect that there is something sinister about the whole situation. Written by Terence Dudley, "
Black Orchid" was one of the shorter stories of
Doctor Who's 19th season, lasting a mere two episodes, the first of which aired on March 1, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
