 * At Fetch Priory, a manor house located deep in an English wood, a team of scientists is on the brink of solving the mystery of man’s evolution. But Dr Fendelman and his colleagues are playing with dark forces and before long their prized Kenyan skull is taking on a life of its own. What is the Fendahl and why is it so keen for humans to evolve? Where exactly is the Fifth Planet? Is Ma Tyler really a witch? And why does the Doctor take the legends of a local demon with a hefty pinch of salt?
