THE MOONBASE
THE MOONBASE. Written by Kit Pedler. 4 episodes.
11th February - 4th March 1967.
COMPANIONS:- Ben, Polly and Jamie.
The scene is Earth's moon in the year 2070. All of the Earth's weather
is controlled by a device called the Gravitron. The Doctor arrives to
discover that a strange disease has broken out. Strange disappearances
take place and the Gravitron begins to behave strangely; the Cybermen are
responsible.
They plan to use the kidnapped men to take control of the Gravitron and
destroy the Earth. The Doctor realises that the Cybermen are affected by
gravitational shifts and that is why they need the humans to operate the
Gravitron. As the Cyber army approach the moonbase for their final assault
and the Cyber ships gather, the Doctor regains control of the Gravitron and
directs it at the moon's surface, shooting the Cybermen and their ships
deep into space.
