* NoisyRobots: Generally averted, since the androids are intended to be perfect replacements. The only one who does make any of the typical mechanical whirring and clanking noises is the malfunctioning Adams (the UNIT soldier who does the really spectacular cliff dive), and that's only because there's something wrong with him.

Per Ask The Tropers, \"[a] recap page is, by design, going to be a massive spoiler\", and spoiler font on them is \"pointless and ugly\" (though that probably refers more to the paragraphs than the examples). Removing instance of YMMV.

Styggron, a Kraal scientist, has perfected a lethal virus and plans to use his androids to disseminate it around the world, paving the way for the Kraal fleet.
Crayford, whose rocket had been damaged and who was rescued by the Kraals, returns to a hero's welcome but with the Brigadier off in Geneva, no-one at UNIT believes the Doctor when he tells tall stories of android replicas - which now include himself, Harry and RSM Benton. The Doctor manages to use the radio equipment at the base to jam the android control signal and stop Styggron releasing the virus. He then uses his own android replica to fight Styggron, who infects himself with the virus in the process and is killed.
