Summary
Whilst leaving a many-tentacled, green creature to be blown up, the Doctor, having arrived in 15th century Italy, decides to pop in and visit his friend Leonardo da Vinci. At the house, the Doctor is greeted by Leonardo's understudy Ludovico, who explains his master has locked himself away, leaving shopping lists out overnight.

The list contains a number of items that the Doctor finds puzzling and together they climb a back wall to reach Leonardo. The wall has been electrified — two hundred years before its time! In a workshop they find Leonardo in some sort of trance, building robots from suits of armour and components. When the Doctor tries to intervene, one of the robots grabs him by the throat...
