Descendants of interplanetary explorers worship and obey a mysterious voice on the other end of a transceiver.

It's an unusual story for the era, and it's fun to see them doing something slightly different. Also, Leela is awesome. I wish the current show would have the balls to give the Doctor a genuinely new companion instead of just the latest variation on Pretty But Spunky 21st Century Earth Girl.

An evil corporation has enslaved the human race on Pluto.

Cartoonish fun. It's great to see Leela finally kick some ass. She gets to go into full on action hero mode. One of the better of the classic series. It's a relief, after watching so many bad Doctor Who episodes in a row, to see a really good one. I was starting to forget why I liked the show. You don't need a budget to make a great TV show - but you do need a writer.
