Planet of Giants

(Series 2, Episodes 1-3)

Summary: The TARDIS lands on Earth.  Hurrah!  Ian and Barbara are home!  Unfortunately, they’re only an inch tall.  Whilst in this miniaturised state (due to spacey-wacey reasons) they contend with a giant cat, deadly insecticide, Bunsen burners and plugholes.  This time it’s Barbara’s turn to soldier on, whilst the others foil a plot to wipe out all insectoid life on Earth by confusing a telephone operator and starting a tiny fire.

Watch it because: Ian in a matchbox.
