The Seeds of Death

(Series 6, Episodes 23-28)

Summary: By jove – another moonbase!  The future really has let me down – where are my moonbases?  This time it’s the Ice Warriors having a pop at the moon.  The heavy breathing, lego-handed Martians are rubbish at hide and seek but love a good foam party.  The Doctor appears to have wandered in from a silent comedy, Zoe outsmarts everyone and Jamie mostly worries about stuff.  Everything is put right by a good old British rain shower.

Watch it because: Classic 60s space race sci-fi.
