C032 The Underwater Menace

The lost city of Atlantis, fish people, and a mad scientist who ISN’T The Doctor * * * The Second Doctor and his companions – Polly, Ben and Jamie – materialise on a volcanic island mere moments before, against all odds, they’re kidnapped. They’re brought down far below the surface to what turns out to be the lost city of Atlantis. Once a great civilisation, or so we’re lead to believe, Atlantis has turned into a terrifying, cultist hellhole, where marooned sailors and undesirables are operated upon against their will, being human-centipede’d into so-called fish people and forced to harvest plankton for the regular Atlantean bipeds. Working in his laboratory in the heart of Atlantis is Professor Zaroff, a crazy bonkers mad scientist who’s famous for being able to refine plankton… into food… or something. He claims to be able to raise Atlantis from the bottom of the ocean, but in reality his scientific aspirations are aimed in a different direction entirely. Instead, he intends to blow up the Earth! * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
