plot synopsis
The year is 2070, and a machine called the Gravitron, housed on the moon, is controlling the Earth's weather. Exploring the lunar surface, the TARDIS crew head towards the moon base when Jamie is injured. They find the staff on the moon-base under siege from a mysterious illness and sabotage. The Cybermen are revealed to be behind it, with a plan to use the Gravitron to help render the Earth powerless to an invasion attempt. The Doctor has very little time to stop them...
