Synopsis

On their mission to explore the Mariana Trench at the very bottom of the ocean, the deepest and most inhospitable place on Earth, the crew of the deep sea vehicle Erebus make an unusual and startling discovery.

A battered blue police box.

As the Doctor, Romana and K9 join them on their journey, the submariners soon discover that the TARDIS is not the only unusual find lurking on the sea floor.

Super-intelligent squid, long-lost submarines and their miraculous occupants are only the start of their troubles. The Goblins are coming. And they won't let anyone out alive.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Justice of Jalxar

It's a bit generic. It's a shame because I love stories that are set underwater, I think the limitations it gives you can make for incredibly good stories.

This story is not the best but I had a lot of fun with it despite the characters being fairly forgettable.

Tom Baker and Mary Tamm are on form and both make a mediocre story into a fun romp.

Next Story: The Dalek Contract

Doctor: Oh, Jack. Just because something's imaginary doesn't mean it can't hurt you.
