SUMMARY
The TARDIS lands on Peladon 50 years after The
Doctor's previous visit. The planet's miners are dying
after seeing the ghostly Aggedor. The Doctor investigates and uncovers
a conspiracy.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Poor sequel to The
Curse of Peladon [1972]. The Ice Warriors and Alpha Centauri
return, but the scenes with Pertwee hypnotising and singing to the
cuddly Aggedor make for grim viewing.
