Synopsis

Space travellers are warned to keep away from the area of the planet Asphya and its unremarkable moon Erys. Not the best place to materialise the TARDIS, then – as the Doctor discovers when his ship is raided by the imp-like Drachee, and his companion Flip is carried away...

But the TARDIS isn't the only stricken vessel in the region. Aboard a nearby space yacht, the Doctor encounters a woman who holds in her head the secret of Erys – a secret suppressed by amnesia, or worse.

Flip, too, is about to learn Erys' secret. But once you know Erys' secret, you can never escape.

Previous Story: Antidote to Oblivion


Another fairly good story. It's cliched but still very enjoyable. Erys is a really cool villain - a sentient moon! Excellent voice acting by Brian Shelley, he really makes Erys stand out with a booming, all-powerful voice. The Drachee were weird, I'm not sure I liked them but they served their role in the story well. Colin Baker and Lisa Greenwood are great, I really enjoy the 6/Flip TARDIS team.

Overall, not bad at all, although it could have done with being one part shorter as it did drag a bit in the middle.
