EPISODE 10
German Title: Der
Schlafende Planet (The Sleeping Planet)
Script: Eric Paice
Director: Wolfgang
Storch
Plot: Octavia brings
Professor Evans to Medusa but when they arrive they
find the city streets dim and deserted. The men
are asleep in their bunks like zombies and the women
are nowhere to be seen. Only a few tend the body
of President Clara in the Palace, who lies seemingly
dead in State. It is the End of the Time. Theda
claims that Clara's death is the result of an assassination
plot. Soon a group of insurrectionary women roam
the streets of Medusa, attempting to overthrow the
present Council while Evans and the medical droid
try to revive the President. Evans discovers that
in fact Clara has merely caught a cold from Liz
- in the Medusan's hermetically sealed city there
is no resistance to such germs.
Where? A quiet Medusa
with the lights off
Who? Octavia, Liz
and Rudi with Evans making his only trip to the
studios and Medusa
Kinky? Unless you
have a thing for that medical droid, no.
Notes: An interesting
creepy feel at times, rare for the series, but a
very much overused denouement rather undermines
the interesting notions that the planet ‘dies’ with
its President.
