TEXT: THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI BY: ROBERT HOLMES Part One Running time: 24:33 [SCENE_BREAK] PERI (OOV.): The tide's out. DOCTOR (OOV.): Hmm? PERI (OOV.): When you said sand, I thought maybe I could take a dip. DOCTOR (OOV.): You're a little late, Peri. It's about a billion years since there was any sea on Androzani Minor. PERI (OOV.): You're such a pain, Doctor. DOCTOR: Come on. Well, well, well. The old place hasn't changed at all. Still nothing but sand. PERI: Oh, wow! This place, Doctor, it's just unbelievable! Doctor, look! DOCTOR: What? PERI: Glass. DOCTOR: Almost, anyway. It's fused silica. And I'm not a pain. Here's some more. Now, why would anyone come here? PERI: Who said they have? DOCTOR: These patches were fused by the rocket pads of a spacecraft. Too small for interstellar travel, so it obviously came from the twin planet of Androzani Major. The interesting question is, why? PERI: Maybe someone wanted some sand to make some glass so they could blow a new vacuum tube for their reticular vector gauge. DOCTOR: Hmm. Sarcasm is not your strong point, Peri. If I were you I'd stick. Ah-ha! What have we here? PERI: Ah-ha? I'm looking. Why am I looking? DOCTOR: A monoskid. You can see the deep furrow where it left the ship then the shallower one when it returned. PERI: Or vice versa. DOCTOR: No, no, no. You can see where the light track sometimes crosses the heavy one. So, someone came here with a heavily laden monoskid, unloaded it somewhere and then returned to the ship. PERI: So you got a merit badge in tracking when you were
SUMMARY:
The Doctor lands on one of the twin planets of Androzani where he along with Peri are mistaken for gun runners and sentenced to death.
