The Spectre Of Lanyon Moor
From The Back Cover...

In a desolate Cornish landscape littered with relics of prehistoric man, the Doctor and Evelyn uncover a catalogue of mysteries.

What is the secret of the fogou? Can the moor be haunted by a demonic host of imps? And what is Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart doing in Pengriffen?

Teaming up with his old friend, the Doctor realises that an ancient conflict is nearing its conclusion - and Lanyon Moor is set to be the final battleground.

Episode Endings

Episode One:
As Evelyn and a young walker named Nikki Hunter traverse the path, a sudden mist comes down on them, and from this an evil noise of cruel laughter seems to surround them as an imp appears and launches a brutal attack...

Episode Two:
Evelyn is held prisoner by Flint, who explains that is his birthright to impose his will on the world. When his machine is ready, he prepares to use it first on Evelyn's eyes which have seen far too much of his plans already...

Episode Three:
With help from Mrs Moynihan, the alien is finally freed from his prison and after eighteen thousand years of torment on the insignificant planet known as Earth his revenge begins now...

Episode Four:
After some persuasion from Evelyn, the Brigadier and the Doctor both agree to accompany her back to the pub where they'll see about rustling up some sort of late supper. After all the Doctor is beginning to feel a trifle peckish.

Memorable Quotes

Evelyn Smythe: 'Nothing like a jolly old yomp before breakfast'

The Doctor: 'I suppose I just read a lot of history books.'

Sir Archibald Flint: 'Do I detect a hint of scepticism?'

The Brigadier: 'I think you'll find that the Doctor can be quite rigorous when the occasion demands.'

The Doctor: 'You make it a point of personal pride to scoff, mock, and ridicule anybody who happens to inhabit a larger universe than the one you've chosen to imprison yourself!'

The Brigadier: 'Arrogance is a kind of foolishness, and believe me the Doctor is no fool.'

Professor Morgan: 'Are you telling me that my housekeeper has entered into some kind of Faustian pact with a pixy from outer space?'
