Whilst attempting a detailed scan of E-Space, K9 detects the trail of a large spacecraft. Seeking a lead for their escape, the Doctor sets out on its trail towards a misty yellow planet.

Arriving just in time to witness a crash-landing in the planet’s swamps, the Doctor and his crew discover a number of escaping prisoners fleeing from someone claiming to be a Witchfinder... whilst terrifying ‘familiars’ float around them.

For this is the planet of the witches... and the witches may just know the way home.

Previous Story: Chase the Night


I found this story OK, it had some interesting new ideas but nothing really interesting. Still, sci-fi witches are always cool and while this wasn't really the kind of story for me, I'm sure someone out there will like it more.

I found Crone and Tiresias to be excellently voiced. I did like that Romana got a lot to do on her own, but I'm annoyed that this led to another K9 fakeout death. It's just not something that works since you know he's always gonna come back anyway.
