The 4th Doctor, Romana, and K9 2 (with his 2nd voice) arrive on a planet overgrown by vegetation. The residents need to get rid of some of the vegetation and get their hands on more metal in order to build out of an age of darkness. The planet is ruled by arch-feminist Lady Adrasta, who yields a reign of terror over the mostly male population. The writers set up a situation where they could easily have had an overbearing hitting over the head thrashing of certain political ideologies which still have a lot of power today. Instead they opted to show considerable restraint and do a comedy which only attacked the sensibilities of people who take themselves too seriously.
