There's nothing better with hamburgers than tractators!
The TARDIS gets drawn into the far future and lands on a distant Earth colony that's being bombarded by meteorites. Of course the Doctor has to help out and insinuates himself into the situation. Also, people are being sucked underground by mysterious forces. It turns out that the Gravis and the Tractators have infested the planet and are creating havoc.
Tegan dons a fetching leather skirt and a classic 1980's top with heels that are wholly inappropriate for the planets terrain. She is also seen crawling through ventilation ducts, in a mini skirt. She takes it in stride but it does look silly. Turlough on the other hand spends quite a bit of time drooling on himself in an almost catatonic state because apparently his people have a history with the Tractators. He also gets to chum around with the only girl on the planet.
The most exciting part of the story is when the TARDIS gets "blown" apart and the Console Room is scattered about the caves. It's the most interesting thing they've done console room in decades. This actually is a good story for the 5th Doctor and lets Peter flex his acting muscles. With only a few stories left in his tenure, he actually seems to have settled into the part. And it's about time!
