- Synopsis
- This story was influenced by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the gothic horror films. The Doctor and Sarah lands on a stormy, remote planet, next to lots of wrecked spaceships. It is the home of the Sisterhood of the Flame, whose sacred fire is slowly dying. The Sisterhood believes the Doctor has come to steal it and has him captured. Also on the planet is the mad Doctor Solon, who has taken possession of the brain of Morbius, an evil Time Lord thought to have been executed. Solon is trying to build a new body for Morbius, and is lacking only a suitable head: the head of a Time Lord.
