C03S09 The savages
Synopsis
The TARDIS materialises on a far distant planet where the Doctor, Steven and Dodo are welcomed by the Elders of an apparently advanced society, who have been monitoring the Doctor's travels. Whilst on a tour of their capital city, Dodo discovers that their utopian way of life is dependent on them draining the life energy from a tribe of Savages, who also inhabit the planet.
The Doctor decides that they must do everything in their power to stop the exploitation of the Savages. However, Jano the leader of the Elders, has other plans for the Doctor...
