Premise: The Doctor is consumed by a virus so Professor Marius clones the Doctor and Leela, miniaturises them and injects them into the Doctor's body so that they can fight the infection.
Notes: This story is remembered for being the first to feature the Doctor's robot companion, K-9. Originally intended to be a one off character, new producer decided to make him into a companion late in the production, partly because he thought it would be a great success with the children and also to make up for the expense spent on creating the prop. The TARDIS console room last seen in Pyramids in Mars was bought back (with slight alterations) after the one used the previous scene had warped in storage.
Verdict: An enjoyable romp with some impressive visuals unfortunately overshadowed by some less impressive ones. With some ridiculous ideas executed well and some fun sci-fi storytelling which only Doctor Who can get away with, it's just generally a fun story 7/10
