Overview

Astronauts rescued from a mission to mars are kidnapped when they arrive back on earth. They seem to have been irradiated, and can now kill people merely by touching them. But the Doctor discovers the astronauts have been replaced with Alien ambassadors who are being forced to behave in a hostile manner. With The Doctor traveling to the alien mother ship, and Liz kidnapped, The Brigadier is left wondering who to trust.

    The "Brigadier" (Nicholas Courtney) is having trouble contacting the returning Mars probe so drafts in the "Doctor" (Jon Pertwee) and "Miss Shaw" (Caroline John) to try and get to the bottom of the mystery. With a bit of help from the space centre director "Cornish" (Ronald Allen) he quickly concludes that there is some extra-terrestrial shenanigans going on - especially when the crew do, eventually, arrive and seem to need enormous amounts of radiation in order to survive. A return trip to space to retrace their steps seems to be in order, but there appears to be an uncanny number of obstacles...
