Four to Doomsday

(Series 19, Episodes 5-8)

Summary: Tegan seems so determined to get back to make her flight – she should really just take the opportunity to slack off through time and space.  The TARDIS lands on a spaceship containing three green crusties with a suspicious interest in fashion who are on their way to Earth.  They’ve got what appears to be a bunch of kidnapped people from various Earth cultures throughout history on board but it’s ok because it turns out everyone’s a cyborg.  Adric sucks up to a power-crazed autocrat just because he calls him smart, Nyssa gets brainwashed and the Doctor foils a crackpot plan to travel in time and enslave the people of Earth using poisonous frogs.

Watch it because: The Doctor’s penchant for puns.
