The Gallifreyan Candidate

Just like Nyssa in "Kinda", Jamie and Victoria sleep through this one.

The Doctor goes out exploring and ends up falling down a pit. But his fall is slowed so he simply lands only to be surrounded by the folks who can defeat gravity: some dog-like captors and one Captain J'nk.

J'nk has the Doctor watch this Ipcress File-like psychedelic montage which brainwashes him into making an attempt to kill the leader of these folk, Mufl. But The Doctor resists and turns the tables on J'nk with the sweet music from his recorder.

An impassioned demonstration of the power of music - ha! Just another trite tale for the youngins with no real grounding in the TV series.

I am really glad to be done with the annual stories for this season.
