- 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.
