FURY FROM THE DEEP

 FURY FROM THE DEEP.   Written by Victor Pemberton.   6 episodes.
                       16th March - 20th April 1968.
                     
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and Victoria.

   The TARDIS lands on a gas rig in the North Sea which is experiencing
 some kind of sabotage. The refinery boss, Robson, blames them for the
 disappearances of his rig crews and leaks and pressure build ups. The Doctor
 can hear a strange heartbeat in the pipes but Robson refuses to stop the
 gas flow.
   The riggers have penetrated a deep stratum, releasing a weed parasite
 which absorbs humans or ingests their brains, turning them into creatures
 which are half man, half weed.
   The weed attacks the refinery but when Victoria kills one with a scream,
 the Doctor realises that amplified sound can be used as a weapon. Having
 killed all of the creatures, the Doctor is ready to leave but Victoria
 wants to stay behind.
