Season: 3
Episodes: 4*
Broadcast Dates: 28 May-18 June 1966
Producer: Innes Lloyd
Script Editor: Gerry Davis
Writer: Ian Stuart Black
Director: Christopher Barry
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Peter Purves (Steven), Jackie Lane (Dodo)
Jumping Ship: Steven, 'elected' king of the Elders and the Savages by the Doctor.

The Plot: A parable on how the rich and powerful exploits the poor and downthrodden for their own benefit.
We Like: Frederick Jaeger steals the Doctor's life force and gets to imitate William Hartnell. What fun!
We Dislike: In those days, when they wanted to get rid of a companion they didn't mess about, did they? Still, Steven's departure is wayyy better than Dodo's (see next story).
Rating: 2.5
