Original Airdate: 13 Feb, DOCTOR: I wouldn't had thought it possible, but somehow we've materialised, for a split second of time, and been imprisoned in some kind of force. I simply can't break its hold. Somewhere, somehow, we're being slowly dragged down. IAN: Dragged down? To what? Episode One - The Web Planet. Doctor Who: Web in Space Tardis materialises in a bleak landscape. Everyone is out of Roman garb and back to normal. The scanner is displaying the area outside. Air thin and static. Oh, it's like a cemetery, it's so quiet. IAN: Yeah, no vegetation, and I haven't seen anything move yet. We're on the moon. What force, Doctor Who: Web in Space Where are we? IAN: Doctor, can't there just Doctor Who: Web in Space something wrong with Doctor Who: Web in Space Tardis? My boy, we've been dragged off our course. The question is, is it some natural phenomena or is it intelligent, deliberate, or for a purpose, hmm? You always do. Nowm let me see. Vicki winces. Giant ant-like creatures communicate in high-piched beeps to each other. Good, The power response is satisfactory. IAN: What can you hear, Vicki? Ooo, can't you hear it? IAN: Do you hear anything, Doctor? You know, the thing that young people and young animals hear. Excuse me, you're in the way. Barbara, Doctor Who: Web in Space stopped. Yes, thanks. Doctor, we must get out of here. I quite agree. The power build up is strong enough. Yes, quite satisfactory. Well now the motors. Wait a minute. A massive woodlouse thing joins the mega-ants. The Tardis tries to dematerialise, but fails. The mega-ant noise can be clearly heard, and the Tardis wobbles. Trapped somehow. Is it some strange phenomena? There's no power in the ship. It's useless. I saw a flash behind one of those crags. IAN: Where? I saw it. IAN: Well, it's not there now. It's all gone now. Come on, I think you'd better lie down for a while. IAN: Well, Doctor? Well, there's nothing for it, my boy, but we shall, er, it's a matter of exploration. We shall have to go and find the trouble of this interference and then learn how to counteract it. IAN: Oh No need for the other two to come. I'll go and tell them. IAN: Oh, how is she? Oh, Doctor? Do you have such a thing as a sedative? It's in the first aid box. You know where it is. There, it's facing you. Honestly, one of these days I'm going to have a jolly good spring clean around here. IAN: She's asleep already. Oh, er, Barbara, the Doctor and I are going outside to have a look around. Now don't worry. I won't let him Doctor Who: Web in Space of my sight. IAN: Yes, we're ready. Now then, I want you to wear this ADJ. IAN: This what? Oh, I see. Is the atmosphere a bit thin? IAN: Hello, what's this extraordinary thing? IAN: Oh, I see. A sort of advanced oxygen mask, eh? IAN: Well, come on then, Doctor. How do we open the doors? We have no power. It's one thing after another. IAN: Smiling. I didn't want to, er. IAN: Hey? The Doctor takes his signet ring off. Come along, come along. The Doctor flicks some switches and waves the ring in front of an electric eye. The main doors Doctor Who: Web in Space and he scuttles out, chuckling. Ian follows and the doors close again. Here, take these. You'll feel much better. My ears still sting a bit, but that's all. And I mean, it boils down to the same thing. You can't blame my generation for everything and those pills belong to the Doctor. Didn't you teach it? We worked upwards from the three R's. I wish I'd gone to your school. We had to take a certificate of education in medicine, physics, chemistry. What did you do in your time, live in the classroom? Lecture hall. Now look, you don't there's anything wrong with those pills, do you? BARBARA: After all, it would save me having to put make-up on and a mask and dance round a fire in order to get rid of the evil spirits. The Web Planet (TV story) | Tardis | Fandom

The Web Planet was the fifth serial of season 2 of Doctor Who. As with the Voord before them, the creatures of Vortis were designed to be memorable, as the show was yet to produce a monster to rival the Daleks. Web also had the highest average viewing figure for the Hartnell era with a rating of The concept first came to Bill Strutton as he recalled being bitten by a bull-ant as a child and seeing insects fight. He also recognised the merchandising opportunities Doctor Who Doctor Who: Web in Space, with Terry Nation 's Daleks being his point of Doctor Who: Web in Space. Script editor Dennis Spooner latched onto the idea, believing it could be a parable about socialism, with the Zarbi and the Menoptera as the oppressed and the oppressors respectively. Web was by far the most technically ambitious and experimental story produced by Verity Lambert. While some believe it nobly tried to extend the possibilities of Doctor Whoothers felt it was simply over-ambitious. It was also novel in terms of its advertising, since it was the first Doctor Who story to ever have a trailer. Doctor Who Yearbook Director Richard Martin was irked by this, as he felt it gave away too much of the plot as clips from later episodes were shown. Verity Lambert believed he was upset over the inclusion of a scene showing a Zarbi entering the television studio, justified by her as the application of a Doctor Who: Web in Space setting, designed to stop children from fearing the alien. About Time 1. On the planet Vortisthe DoctorIanBarbara and Vicki are swept up in the struggles of the butterfly -like Menopterathe original denizens of Vortis who were forced to flee the planet for the moon Pictos to escape the encroaching web of the Animus and Doctor Who: Web in Space mind-controlled minions, the ant - like Zarbiand their living weapons, the larvae guns. The Doctor discovers, once the ship has landed, that it has had all its power taken away from it as well, with only the scanner left working. The Doctor begins to work his magic at the console, but he can't Doctor Who: Web in Space the motors work even though the energy is available. The Doctor suspects that she can hear it due to her relatively young age. The source of the noise is an ant-like creature emitting loud beeping noises as a means of communication. Doctor Who: Web in Space to the travellers, two of these creatures, accompanied by a smaller speciesattack the TARDIS, causing it Doctor Who: Web in Space rock wildly — much to its inhabitants' surprise. Barbara takes Vicki, who is most perturbed by the noise and the battering of the TARDIS, to bed whilst the Doctor Who: Web in Space, resigning himself to not being able to sort his ship out, asks Ian to come and explore the planet. Ian and the Doctor don Doctor Who: Web in Space density jacketsinform Barbara of their plan, and set off, using the Doctor's ring and a device in the TARDIS to open the door without power. Left to their own devices, Barbara and Vicki have a conversation about Vicki's futuristic schooling. Vicki later discovers that Barbara and Ian have also been to Rome in their previous adventure after seeing the armlet given to Barbara from Nero. Out on the planet, Ian and the Doctor discover some very strange goings-on. Ian takes his gold pen out of his suit jacket, only for it to literally disappear out of his hand. The echoes of their voices seem to take on lives of their own and linger for much longer than normal echoes. Ian confides in the Doctor that he feels he is being watched. The Doctor disagrees at first but later states the only way to prove that theory is to go exploring. Meanwhile, back in the TARDIS, Barbara is tidying up when she seems to lose all the strength in her arm, which appears to be dragging her out Doctor Who: Web in Space the door. Just as she reaches the door she regains control. Scared, she goes to sit with Vicki, where the sensation happens again. Vicki, thinking she is joking, laughs, and Barbara leaves her. Outside, Ian and the Doctor discover a large stone pyramid that is obviously not natural and has been built by some sort of creature. The two marvel at this. They discover a pool of what Ian thinks is water, in which he is about to wash his hands, when the Doctor, borrowing Ian's Coal Hill School tiediscovers it's acid. As the Doctor inspects it, the ant creature scuttles away, beeping. The Doctor and Ian head back. Whilst Barbara is alone, she again loses control over her arm and is dragged out Doctor Who: Web in Space the door after using the console to open the door. The beeping wakes Vicki and, as she enters the console room, she loses control of her limbs and calls out for Barbara. Ian orders the Doctor to Doctor Who: Web in Space and help Vicki. The Doctor returns to find Ian lying prostrate on the floor. The men then set off to look for the Doctor Who: Web in Space. As she walks, she is accosted by a large, butterfly-like creature. It leads her into a cave where two more of the creatures wait. They take off Barbara's bracelet Doctor Who: Web in Space throw it into the acid, which awakens Barbara from her trance. She tries to escape but is detained by the creatures. Meanwhile, Vicki uses the TARDIS's scanner to discover that it is the ant-like creatures that are controlling the ship — using their minds to drag it to another place on the planet. On close inspection, the Doctor discovers that it is from the Menoptera species. This, combined with the rock formations implicit on the planet, leads the Doctor to believe they are on the planet Vortis in the Isop Galaxy. Back in the cave of the Menoptera, the butterfly-creatures discuss what to do with Barbara. They say they need to kill her, as a creature they refer to as the Zarbis will extract the information of their whereabouts and hunt them down. Overhearing this, Barbara uses a stick to help her break out and escapes onto the surface. Ian tries to fight back, but the Doctor Doctor Who: Web in Space him not to. The Doctor states that he has never before seen these creatures, so they should be treated cautiously. The creatures herd the men towards their den. Once the ship has been brought to a halt, Vicki goes out and explores her surroundings. One of them keeps her penned in the corner whilst the other tries to explore the TARDIS, but as soon as it enters the ship, the creature is distressed and leaves. When Vicki is joined by the Doctor, he is indignant that someone has tried to board his ship and tries to tell the creatures that his TARDIS is not to be boarded. Back in the cave, the Menoptera try to send a signal to the rest of their species, warning them that the Zarbi and a being they call the Animus are still on the planet. They are interrupted by an attack by the Zarbi, led by Barbara. She wears a gold harness that controls her in the same fashion as the Doctor Who: Web in Space did earlier. Whilst the Zarbi attack the rest of his species, one of the Menoptera, Hrostarremoves the harness from Barbara's neck and informs her those they don't kill are taken to the Crater of Needles where they are forced to work against their will and in great pain. As he explains this, he is set upon by the Zarbi. Back at the Doctor Who: Web in Space of the Zarbi, the Doctor is trying to communicate with them. An alarm starts to sound. A cylinder falls from the ceiling onto the head of the Doctor, proclaiming, "Why do you come now? The disembodied voice is hostile towards the Doctor, assuming Doctor Who: Web in Space he is an emissary from the Menoptera. As a show of force the voice fires a laser beam towards the TARDIS, but Vicki, in her earlier efforts to stop the ship from moving, accidentally re- aligned the fluid link and restored power, enabling the ship's shields to combat the attack. Doctor Who: Web in Space Doctor convinces the voice that he is not part of the Menoptera force. The voice asks if he has a way of monitoring the stars, to which the Doctor replies in the affirmative. The voice agrees to free the travellers if he will help them garner information on the Menoptera. The Doctor asks the voice, which he refers to as the Queen Ant, where Barbara is. The voice tells the Doctor that she is in the Crater of Needles. While they are inside the Doctor hatches a plan whereby Ian should go find Barbara if the opportunity shows itself. The Doctor speaks to the voice and says that he will need this power relinquished. The voice agrees but warns the Doctor that if it is betrayed they will be killed. As the power is restored to the ship the Zarbi also power down, which enables Ian to escape. As Ian searches for Barbara he comes across a Doctor Who: Web in Space. He tries to sneak past it but the Zarbi rounds on him. Ian kills the Zarbi but as he tries to escape he gets caught in a web which triggers an alarm. The other Zarbis are awoken and go to fetch Ian. They try to kill him but the laser beam from the smaller species allows Ian to break free. As he runs from the Zarbis he is saved by a Menoptera, who hides him from the pursuing masses. The Doctor has uncovered a message from the Menopteran forces saying they are hovering over the Crater of Needles. The Doctor decides to repress this information from the Zarbi. When the Doctor sends Vicki in to get Doctor Who: Web in Space piece of equipment, she returns with the wrong box. This box contains a specimen of a spider. Ian and his Menopteran saviour, Vrestinlie low and discuss the state of Vortis. Ian learns that Vortis used to belong to the Menoptera. The Zarbi were a species indigenous to Vortis, with which the Menoptera lived at peace; however, they were made militant by a dark power that Vrestin names the Animus. The Menoptera were powerless against the Zarbi and fled the planet to a nearby moon. The Menoptera are now trying to reclaim the planet that was once theirs. Vrestin was sent to Vortis with two others to make way for the invasion, but one was killed and the other enslaved, leaving Vrestin all alone. They discuss the Crater of Needles. Vrestin tells Ian that the Menoptera that are taken to the Crater have their wings pulled off and are forced to work until they are killed. Vrestin offers to show Ian the way to the Crater of Needles, but on the way there they are set upon by Zarbi. They escape and hide in a cave, but Vrestin slips and falls, causing a cave-in and trapping them. Ian and Vrestin find themselves in an underground cave. No sooner have they dusted themselves down than they are surrounded by unknown creatures. Meanwhile, at the Crater of Needles, Barbara is struggling under the immense workload that the Zarbi put them under. Doctor Who immortalised in space as NASA names a new unofficial constellation after the BBC show

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration that's NASA's proper name has just added Doctor Who: Web in Space group of new gamma-ray star configurations, and they've brought in some inspiration from the world of mythology, popular culture and science to help them decide names. And luckily for fans, that includes a Doctor Who reference. According to Radio Timesthe Doctor's time-travelling phone box the Tardis is being used to describe one of the newly discovered unofficial constellations. Godzilla, the Incredible Hulk and the Starship Enterprise are some of the other pop-culture icons to find their way into NASA's project, so the Tardis is in pretty good company. To celebrate the mission's year anniversary, scientists used Fermi sources to create a set of unofficial gamma-ray constellations. Unfortunately for us mere mortals, these new configurations aren't visible to the naked eye, so Fermi's website has helped us out and created an interactive celestial map. Meanwhile in Doctor Who world, showrunner Chris Chibnall recently confirmed that the franchise's classic monsters won't make a return in the current eleventh series. But just not this year.
