The Horns of Nimon

(Series 17, Episodes 17-20)

Summary: Histrionic Soldeed tries to sacrifice the young of Aneth to bull-headed Nimons in the power complex.  The Doctor attempts to give K9, his robotic dog, mouth-to-mouth, the Nimons don’t really have a clue what’s going on (must be that massive head impeding their vision) and Soldeed’s dreams of conquest are offed along with him.  The Anethans wear rather fetching yellow pyjamas and exchange such killer dialogue as:

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why don’t you know?”

“I don’t know.”
