Premise: The TARDIS takes the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to a world where they meet the Gonds who annually send two brilliant students into the Dynatrope to be the companions of the Krotons.
Notes: This story, originally titled The Trap and later The Space Trap, saw the debut of writer Robert Holmes who would go on to write many more for the series. He originally submitted this story to the BBC as an independent serial but was denied and instead recommended to submit it to Doctor Who instead. The script was kept back as a spare until Dick Sharples gender-swap satire feel through and a replacement was needed quickly.
Verdict: A fun enough story with a decent script, its biggest down fall is the Krotons themselves, perhaps the worst designed monsters in the entire series 6/10
