The Robots of Death

(Series 14, Episodes 17-20)

Summary: What a box of treats!  Creepy blank face robots with red eye, fabulous outfits and eyeliner, and deliciously bitchy dialogue.  Although Leela fails the ‘don’t let him out of your sight’ test, she and the Doctor help solve a murder mystery inside a big drilling machine a la And Then There Were None, with a dash of robophobia and robophilia dolloped on top.

Watch it because: Weirdly lovable D84.


Original Air Date: 29 January – 19 February 1977.
Doctor: Tom Baker.
Companions: Leela (Louise Jameson)
Writer: Chris Boucher.
Director: Michael E. Briant.
Producer: Philip Hinchcliffe.
