In 1975, the British Government quietly closed down a secret evolutionary project codenamed BEAGLE, ordering the destruction of all research materials. Today, the horrific discovery of several oddly mutated bodies alerts Liz Shaw and P.R.O.B.E. to the fact that something is stalking the original site of project BEAGLE – something which may challenge the very nature of humanity itself! With a crack security team at her disposal, Liz desperately attempts to track down the perverted results of the project. But who or what is hunting whom?

The audio mixing isn't the best on this (though might just be the version I watched). The plot's fine but less interesting than the other two and unfortunately it felt a little predictable, I saw the twist coming a mile away. Now the effects though, there were some gruesome practical effects in this which I loved, one near the start where a yellow sludge seeps out of a person's eyes really stood out to me, as well as the moment where someone gets their heart torn out of their body.

Overall though, this didn't reach the atmospheric peaks that the first two films did, though it's at least more consistent then The Zero Imperative.

Worth a watch for the effects though.

Also unrelated but it's Criminal that Liz isn't on the cover of more of these, because the cover for this one is just awful.



Mark Gatiss is probably having fun. I had fun. Definently more 'Torchwood' than 'Doctor Who'. Caroline John as Liz Shaw is great, geniunely upset that we got only one tv season of her as a full-time companion (great one though), but I will probably listen to Big Finish with her someday
