But someone on Solos has other plans and, alarmingly, the natives are slowly mutating into fierce-looking creatures. It’s time for the Doctor and Jo to find out why...

As a fan of the Jon pertwee era of Dr Who, this was an eagerly anticipated release. The story centres on the Doctor and Jo visiting a planet with a two tier citizen structure. The Overlords, and the Solonians, not only a fine story but a story drawing parallels with the situation in South Africa during the time of apartheid, well worth the time to watch and see the references within.
