The Creature from the Pit

(Series 17, Episodes 9-12)

Summary: Romana plugs in the Doctor’s phone and finds a whole load of missed calls and is none too pleased to be manhandled by hairy bandits with a limited vocabulary.  There’s monopoly in space and killer tumbleweed controlled by a whip (and doesn’t that guy look happy to be cracking it?)  The Doctor literally jumps into a hole and then gets menaced by a giant potato with a humongous cock.

Watch it because: "Well, to be fair I did have a couple of gadgets which he probably didn't, like a teaspoon and an open mind."
