Synopsis

The first time the fearsome Kraals attempted to take over the Earth, with the help of their android agents, things didn't go quite according to plan — thanks to the time-travelling alien Doctor and his allies at UNIT.

This time, Marshal Grinmal and his belligerent cohorts are ready for them. This time, they'll make no mistakes. This time, Chief Scientist Tyngworg has not just one plan, but a back-up plan, and a back-up back-up plan worked out...

With the Doctor a prisoner on the Kraals' radiation-blasted home planet of Oseidon, only his companion Leela can save the day — alongside a most unlikely ally.

This is a stronger half than the first. They should have been presented as one story.

This was an hour of the master and the doctor trying to one up each other. There are android duplicates of both our hero and enemy - it's all a farce. It's surprisingly comedic and fluffy given the last thing Geoffrey Beevers had been in was the dark and brooding 'Master' many years before. It is a little shallow but good fun.

You get the feeling that the Kralls were originally meant to be the Sontarans (the similarities extend further than Dan Starkey's performance). Not that it's any worse as a result.
