The Web of Caves (TV story)

The Web of Caves was a black and white comedy sketch written by Mark Gatiss, which parodies early episodes of Doctor Who.

The TARDIS lands in a generic quarry, where an alien who declares "I'm bad" arranges with the Doctor about both how, and when, he will attempt to destroy the planet in a bid for power.

It stars Gatiss as the Doctor, with David Walliams and Paul Putner as two aliens.

Alongside The Pitch of Fear and The Kidnappers, it was the second of three sketches first broadcast as part of BBC Two's Doctor Who Night on 13th November 1999.

All three sketches were later released as a special feature on Disc One of the DVD box-set, The Beginning.
