Doctor Who: The Krotons

6.4(7)19691h 40m3

The TARDIS arrives on the unnamed planet of the Gonds, who are ruled and taught in a form of self-perpetuating slavery by the alien Krotons — crystalline beings whose ship, the Dynatrope, crash-landed there thousands of years earlier after being damaged in a space battle. The Krotons are in suspended animation, in a crystalline slurry form, awaiting a time when they can be reconstituted by absorption of mental energy. Periodically, the two most brilliant Gond students are received into the Dynatrope, nominally to become "companions of the Krotons", but in truth to have their mental energy drained, after which they are killed.

    Flushed with success from their last adventure, the team arrive on a planet that's inhabited by the enslaved "Gonds". These folks spend much of their lives awaiting to be chosen by their gods so they can enter through a doorway from which they never re-emerge. Well, that is except for the fact that the "Doctor" (Patrick Troughton), "Jamie" (Frazer Hines) and "Zoe" (Wendy Padbury) just happen to espy what exactly does…
