PLANET OF GIANTS


 PLANET OF GIANTS.   Written by Louis Marks.   3 Episodes.
                     31st October - 14th November 1964.
                   
 Planet of Giants, Dangerous Journey, Crisis.

 COMPANIONS:- Ian, Barbara and Susan.

   The travellers materialise on Earth in modern times, only to find that
 they have shrunk to just an inch in height after an accidental opening of
 the TARDIS doors during flight.
 They find dead insects of all types and the Doctor concludes that some kind
 of insecticide is responsible. This is no ordinary insecticide, it kills
 without distinction wiping out whole sections of the food chain.
  The inventor of DN6 plans to push through its eventual release to the
 market even though he knows it will destroy all insect life on Earth. He has
 put all his money and years of research into the project and resorts to
 murder to ensure his plans will work.
  Barbara is poisoned when some of the insecticide gets through her skin
 and the Doctor faces a race against time to get her back to the TARDIS for
 treatment. The travellers also learn of the DN6 plan and manage to alert
 the police who catch the villain.
  This story is most notable for the excellent large scale sets designed by
 Ray Cusick, who also designed the Daleks.
