Trapped in the dreaded Punishment Dome, the Doctor and his companion Peri must fight for their lives - and save the starving population from the machinations of the villainous reptilian Sil.

Fingers crossed Revisited comes to local Space scifi channel. On Sarah Jane adventures spin-off, eyeless blank white-face enemies dressed in black-hooded cloaks look like nasties in last season Doctor Who. They start in 1.7 1.8 "Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane" and continue in 2.9 "The Temptation of Sarah Jane" all by Gareth Roberts. I'm only that far, but they do seem to recycle old villains. The more we learn about the whole Dr Who universe, like the old doctors here, adds to the enjoyment.
