THE WEB OF FEAR


 THE WEB OF FEAR.   Written by Mervyn Haisman, Henry Lincoln.   6 episodes.
                    3rd February - 9th March 1968.
                 
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and Victoria.

   The TARDIS is trapped by a web like substance and materialises in the
 London Underground. They meet Professor Travers again and he admits that
 he has reactivated a Yeti, letting the Great Intelligence back into the
 physical world. The web like growth has invaded the underground and has
 cut off the roads into London. The Doctor meets the C.O. of the army
 operation, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart.
   The Doctor has to surrender himself to the Intelligence as it has taken
 Victoria and Travers hostage. A brain-draining helmet is placed on his
 head but he attempts to drain the Intelligence and is succeeding until he
 is "rescued" by his friends.
   This story somewhat shaped the future format of the show, that of alien
 menaces in the modern world. It also laid the foundations for the
 establishment of U.N.I.T.
