Inhuman Sacrifice (comic story)

Opening Tag
The Tauride is back to its natural, friendly self, but is stuck in the wall … and the Doctor is unconscious!

Summary
With the Tauride stuck in the wall Martha resorts to a number of bull jokes to appeal to the beasts strong sence of humour. The laughing vibrations free the Tauride, wake the Doctor and leave a hole in the wall from which they can all escape. The parks guards (the Cyclops, Medusa and Cerebus) are still waiting for them and while the Tauride creates a distraction, the Doctor (having grabbed a souvenir Olympic torch) and Martha head towards an Aztec temple made entirely from chocolate. A distressed woman outside is fearful about the fate of her son and others in the school party that have not yet returned from the Aztec pyramid, especially since she herself was attacked by an Aztec priest. On a video screen in the park the watcher broadcasts images of Martha kicking an old lady and the Doctor brandishing a gun, labelling them both criminals. To avoid detection they enter the Aztec pyramid stopping to hire a change of costume from the shop inside. Inside the Doctor discovers a hidden chamber where the ‘watcher’ is an eye-patched, green giant towering over a cage full of children. As Martha releases the children the giant turns his attention to the Doctor…
