Doctor Who: Terror of the Vervoids
“‘What are you doing here? You were told –’ ‘Back there!’ cried Mel. ‘Edwardes! He’s dead!’ She gestured towards the hydroponic centre.
So evident was her distress that the second guard, without waiting for instruction, ran to investigate.

It also illuminated the giant pods... and the waxy, leaf-veined, claw-like hands groping through the rupturing shucks...
But there was more.MoreLess
