Title: A real edge-of-seater.
Review: This is classic Dr Who. The Doctor arrives in the uncharted jungles of an alien world and finds the survivors of a doomed space expedition, who have reverted to savagery, and an effigy of his own face carved into a mountain. The first story to feature Leela, who is at her best here, this is gripping sci-fi/fantasy from start to finish. There are strong performances from all the cast, the Horda are a genuinely chilling creation and the scenes in the forest, in which the Doctor and his companions are stalked by an unseen beast, really are behind-the-sofa moments. Add to that some nice little touches of humour and a clever, well-thought-out storyline and you have four episodes of unmissable adventure.
