"The One with the Moral" (USA), "Les Femmes - Dominante et Sexie!" (France)

Doctor Who teaches the children of Britain that women are dangerous.

*** - I felt that its central message about beauty being the most important thing in judging character was rather poorly expressed.

"These are the finest robots around - they're called Pedigree Chumblies" (line cut as it breached BBC advertising rules)

"We have a small number of pants as many as we need...they consume valuable food and fulfil no particular function"

Peter Purves broke his nose between episodes 2 and 3 and wore a sling between takes for the rest of the serial

Comedically inclined fans like to tell Americans that this story is part of the Galaxy saga and have been known to sell home made scripts to Galaxies One to Three at auction.

The master tape for part four was eaten during the production team’s Christmas party. A mystery man told Peter Purves that there was no way a human being could ingest twenty five minutes worth of magnetic tape and Purves, known in intimate circles as Peter “Have a Go” Purves, took him up on the challenge. He completed the task and won a pint of beer.

The idea of obedient, cloned females has been proven to appeal to ninety six percent of heterosexual Doctor Who fans (which works out at 8.3% of the total Dr Who population).

Unbeknownst to most viewers, this story actually has a subtle moral – don’t judge by appearances. It’s easy to miss though.

This story was remade in 1984 as “Timelash”, though for legal reasons the moral had to be changed to “Yup – the ugly ones ARE evil after all.”

"I was sitting with Peter Purves as he mentally prepared himself to face the proles at a signing of the LP release of Story T when he commented 'It's a shame the women weren't in furry bikinis - that would've been bloody brilliant." I was rather taken aback by an icon of "Doctor Who" expressing such an unacceptable opinion. "Don't be pathetically stupid" I quipped, "surely only a subnormal would fantasise about a group of aggressive scantily clad females. Such an image is beneath contempt and belongs solely to poor quality American feature films. A far more sensible imaginary scenario is that which is presented in Story T - smartly dressed women with a penchant for domination who would give one a cold stare, brush down their sensible uniforms and say 'You've been a naughty boy, Dennis, crawl to Maaga on your hands and...' I realised I was babbling indiscreetly and covered the whole episode with a rumbling cough. Mr Purves gave me a peculiar look so I continued coughing until I lost consciousness. I woke up in casualty with a small piece of lung in a jar of formaldehyde and thankfully never met Mr Purves again."
