The Ship lands in England and the UNIT team joined by Hardiman and Winser from the nearby Nuton power station meet its occupants: beautiful golden-skinned humanoids called Axons. The Axons claim that their ship Axos is damaged and that they need time in which to repair it. In return they offer Axonite a substance that can cause animals to grow to enormous sizes and thus end food shortages. The Doctor is suspicious and rightly so: Axos Axonite and the Axons - whose true appearance is hideous - are all part of a single parasitic entity brought to Earth by the Master to feed on the planet's energy. The Doctor manages to materialise his TARDIS with the Master on board at the centre of Axos. He offers to link the two ships together to make one giant time machine on condition that Axos in return helps him to take revenge on the Time Lords for exiling him to earth. This is merely a trick however and Axos is locked in a time loop from which it can never escape. The Doctor returns to Earth in the TARDIS where he reluctantly admits to the Brigadier that the Master may also have escaped

• Help I'm A Fish | DVD | (06/01/2003) from £9.99   |  Saving you £-8.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £1.99

  Help! I'm a Fish is an action-packed, entertaining 78-minute animated feature film, made in Denmark and dubbed for British audiences, starring the vocal talents of distinguished actor Alan Rickman and Monty Python's Terry Jones. The plot is simple but creative. Three children--Fly, Chuck and Stella--are on a clandestine fishing trip, when they stumble upon a mad professor whose potion transforms humans into fish. Stella innocently drinks the liquid, becomes a starfish and is thrown into the ocean. In an attempt to save her, the boys follow suit with Fly changing into a Californian flyfish and Chuck into a jellyfish. The antidote falls into the hands (or fins!) of a pilot fish, Joe, who drinks it and acquires human intelligence, the power of speech, a tyrannical desire for world control and a following of militant crabs. The threesome has 48 hours to retrieve the antidote, or they will remain fish forever. Traditional hand-drawn cartoons are interspersed with more modern computerised animations. The variety of life underwater is beautifully portrayed, adding greatly to the colour and interest of the film. Terry Jones is suitably loopy as Professor MacKrill and Alan Rickman creates a villain to match his baddie roles in Die Hard and Prince of Thieves. There are several key themes including the importance of intelligence, determination and friends and of being kind to animals and respecting the environment. Overall, this is a fast paced video with catchy songs and the occasional scary moment that will excite and delight children aged four and over. --Tracey Hogan
