Line 7:
Ben is affected by the Macra mind-control and starts to turn against the others, but the Doctor succeeds in breaking their hold and Ben destroys the gas-mining equipment, killing the Macra and freeing the colonists.
 
The Macra had a slightly surprising cameo four decades later in the Tenth Doctor episode "[[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S3 E3S29/E03 Gridlock|Gridlock]]".
 
== Tropes ==
* [[Deadly Gas]]
* [[Extra -Strength Masquerade]]: The Macra so brainwashed the human colonists that an [[Extra -Strength Masquerade]] was relatively easy -- untileasy—until the Doctor turned up.
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: The Macra
* [[Muck Monster]]
Line 18:
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: The quote above.
* [[Take That]]:
{{quote| '''Ben''': They got that bloke all over the place like a blinking politician.<br />
'''Pete''': He is our controller. We are always pleased to see him. He brings us encouragement.<br />
'''Ben''': Oh, he's not a politician then! }}
* [[Title Sequence Replacement]]: The first one in the series debuts here. It's also the first to use the Doctor's face.
