The Stones of Blood

(Series 16, Episodes 9-12)

Summary: Ooh, I do love a good cult, with bonus flames and chanting and stone circles, but those poor hapless campers have clearly never read the rules about camping in horror films.  It all goes a bit Hitchcock with the crows, the Doctor is attacked by creepy walking stones and the Megara are massive pedants.  And goodness me, three intelligent women have a conversation!

Watch it because: “Doctor!  In the cause of science, I think it our duty to capture that creature!”
