This was always one of my favourite "Dr. Who" stories. The TARDIS arrives on the jungle planet of "Chloris" only for the travellers to find themselves apprehended by "Karela" (Eileen Way) who is the chief enforcer of the "Lady Adrasta" (an enjoyably hammy Myra Frances). What nobody quite understands is why there are the remains of what appears to be an huge egg on the surface, and one that the "Doctor" (Tom Baker) thinks might be alive. Luckily, … read the rest.
