Can anyone name all six segments of the Key to Time?
Here's the one's I remember:
- The peice of Jethryk
- The planet Callufrax
- Part of a statue from Tara
- Princess Astra
But I can't remember the other two, does anyone else know them? It's been bugging me all day. Thanks!

The necklace of the evil lady, Vivien Fay, in The Stones of Blood.
A relic of the swamp people that got eaten by Kroll long ago. In The Power of Kroll.

I don't think they ever mentioned... apparently Kroll was just a little baby giant octopus creature when it swallowed the relic, and the thing gradually mutated him into Cthulhu. Presumably all this happens ages before the Doctor even arrives.
Looks at BBC website...
Some interesting trivia about the Key to Time:
The third segment has powers of transmutation, transformation and the establishing of hyperspacial and temporal coordinates.
The fifth segment of the Key to Time allows one to see the future (according to Swampie lore). As the Symbol of Power, it was brought by the Swampies to this moon, where it was swallowed by a giant squid, causing it to mutate and grow.

Well, since relics tend to be of the object that is worshiped, it probably was a statue/craving/drawing of Kroll.
They could've taken a chunk of rock, made their scribble, and (oops!) it was a piece of the Key. pirate

It's been so many years since I've seen the Key to Time series that I forget. I was never really crazy about that mini-series to begin with, though.

He was Script Editor for season seventeen, so you get a handfull of Adams-written scenes in stories credited to other writers. The opening scenes of Destiny of the Daleks spring to mind.

I've not seen The Key to Time, but I've Wiki'ed the basic plot and as such have an even greater appreciation of Life, The Universe & Everything.
