A sentient cactus possesses an accountant delivered by space pirates to impersonate The Doctor * * * On the planet Tigella, a mysterious dodecahedron has divided the population into the religious Deons and the scientifically inclined Savants, both of whose future is under threat and both of whom rely on the object’s power to stay alive. Something’s going wrong, though, and thus the Savants summon Doc to help them work out what’s wrong with their energy source. Doc and Romana meanwhile are still trying to repair K9 after his failed attempt to become a seafaring vessel when a sinister space cactus from Zolfa-Thura puts them in an allegedly inescapable time loop, assumes The Doctor’s identity and heads to Tigella to steal the dodecahedron for his own planet-destroying means. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
