Plot

The Doctor takes his friends to the peaceful citadel planet, Samur. But they find it deserted. Suddenly, seven Sontarans arrive on a mission so secret, even they don't know it.

Cast

Writing

Writer Alan Barnes based the Sontaran characters on the characters from the sitcom Dad's Army, and derived the characters' names from the names of the sitcom's actors: Field-Major Thurr from Arthur Lowe, Sergeant Mezz from John le Mesurier, Corporal Clunn from Clive Dunn, Pilot Bekk from James Beck, Trooper Vend from Ian Lavender, Trooper Jorr from John Laurie and Trooper Nold from Arnold Ridley.[1] The story's dialogue deliberately includes catchphrases from Dad's Army such as "You stupid boy!"[1]

Continuity

This is Big Finish's first use of the Sontarans.
