THE SENSORITES


 THE SENSORITES.   Written by Peter R. Newman.   6 Episodes.
                   20th June - 1st August 1964.
                 
 Strangers in Space, The Unwilling Warriors, Hidden Danger,
 A Race Against Death, Kidnap, A Desperate Venture.

 COMPANIONS:- Ian, Barbara and Susan.

   Landing on a giant spaceship in the 28th century, the travellers discover
 the small crew to be under some sort of mind control. The Captain, Maitland,
 explains that they are under the control of the Sensorites, a race that
 inhabits the Sense Sphere.
   Through telepathic contact with Susan, the travellers are invited down
 to the Sphere to meet with the Sensorites who explain their situation.
 The Sense Sphere is rich in molybdenum, a valuable mineral and the
 Sensorites are fearful of exploitation. They also say that since the visit
 of the humans, their people have been dying.
   After Ian drinks some water he falls ill and the Doctor deduces that the
 supply has been tampered with (the elite Sensorites drink from a different
 source to the rest of the population and are unaffected). Investigating
 further, he finds deadly nightshade in the water supply and discovers that
 it has been placed there by three deranged humans from the original
 expedition. The ship is released after the Captain promises not to reveal
 the Sensorites' secret.
