Originally Aired On: Saturday, 10 January 1970

Adventures of the eccentric Time Lord with the frilly-shirted Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee. The Brigadier summons the Doctor to a nuclear reactor where there is an inexplicable loss of power, and a high level of anxiety amongst the staff. The reason? It's being drained by the Silurians - intelligent reptilian beings awoken from thousands of years of hibernation by the power from the research centre. Naturally, they're trouble!
