Upon trying to re-watch "The Trial of a Time-Lord" Doctor Who season

Upon trying to re-watch "The Trial of a Time-Lord" Doctor Who season, well, it was too painful. My patience ran out. I think the whole season can be skipped, except that the following spoilers might someday be useful:

- The Doctor meets the thief known as Sabalom Glitz.
- Companion Peri leaves under unclear circumstances.
- Companion Mel appears with no given backstory.
- There is a future evil version of the Doctor (or some other Time Lord?) running around, calling himself "the Valeyard", who would gladly kill the Doctor in order to get more regenerations.
- The Matrix, the big important Time Lord computer database, has really crappy security. The Master and other Time Lords have broken into it, as well as some aliens from Andromeda.
- The High Council of Time Lords is so corrupt that, rather than admit they need to fix the Matrix's security system, they would much rather spend the effort to manufacture fake evidence against the Doctor, put him on trial by pitting him against the Valeyard, hoping to kill the Doctor. I don't know why they think his continued existence is a risk to them. Oh, and the Council also went through the trouble of moving Earth and "its constellation" a couple of light years away, renaming it to "Ravalox". Because using Time Lord technology to move whole star systems is easier than fixing Time Lord technology.

No, I don't want anything explained. (For example, "Peri didn't die" vs. "Peri married an alien warrior king" vs. "Peri's actress denied marrying the alien warrior king".)
