Summary: In this instalment, the Doctor takes a peek into his future to form his defence; a future in which his new companion Mel forces exercise bikes and carrot juice on him (and golly does she have a pair of lungs on her). They visit a spaceliner where Janet makes a wonderful cup of coffee and the killer plants embody the whole ‘scarier when not seen’ rule of horror (they look like primary school children playing flowers in an end of term production). Never before – or since – has the word ‘hydroponics’ been used so frequently in a TV drama. To the earth shall we all return, eh?
Watch it because: “As a security office, you’re an unmitigated disaster!”
