Peru, The Amazon, Earth, England, London Synopsis A century after his great-grandfather Cornelius vanished in the Amazon rainforest, Edward Perkins is journeying to the depths of the jungle to find out what became of his ancestor's lost expedition. Intrigued by what appears to be a description of a crashed spacecraft in the diaries of that first voyage, the Doctor and Leela join him on his quest. But when their plane runs into trouble and ends up crash landing, everyone gets more than they bargained for. The jungle is filled with giant creatures and angry tribesmen, all ready to attack. But in the famed lost city of the Maygor tribe, something far, far worse is lurking. Something with an offer to make to mankind. Who are the Lurons and can they be trusted? Will the Doctor defeat the plans of the malevolent Godrin or will he become just another victim of the legendary Valley of Death?

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Foe from the Future Doctor Who meets Indiana Jones, this is one of those stories that is probably better off on audio as I doubt they could have captured the same feeling with the TV show budget. The first two parts take place in the Amazon, somewhere I feel is underutilised in Doctor Who. Some of the twists were definitely expected but that didn't detract from the story. The soundscape is phenomenal, from the plane to the jungle every location felt alive. The actors all did a fantastic job. The Lurons are nothing new, they are basic bodysnatchers with no other unique abilities but they serve their purpose in the story so I can't complain there.

All the deaths that have resulted from your actions. Do they mean nothing to you? GODRIN: You must understand, Doctor. I am the sole survivor of a dead race. You can forgive me for being a little… cautious of strangers. DOCTOR: Forgive you? You expect me to forgive you? You should be grateful, Godrin, that I don’t share your low opinion of the value of life, because if I did… I can assure you, you wouldn’t still be standing here breathing now. — The Valley of Death
