Cover blurb
WILLIAM HARTNELL STARS AS THE FIRST DOCTOR IN THIS EXCLUSIVE RECORDING OF A 'LOST' TELEVISION ADVENTURE, WITH LINKING NARRATION BY PETER PURVES

'We have reached the distant horizon of an age of peace and prosperity!' 

When the TARDIS&#160;materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The&#160;travellers soon discover that the planet's population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders - who inhabit a technologically advanced city - seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated Savages.

Whilst the Elders' leader, Jano, welcomes the Doctor into their society, Dodo stumbles upon a dark secret at the heart of the community. The truth behind the Elders' great knowledge is eventually revealed, and the Doctor sees it as his duty to end a terrible case of exploitation. Yet Jano has plans of his own for the Doctor...

With&#160;the Doctor's faithful companion Steven discovering that events on this planet will irrevocably shape his destiny,&#160;The Savages marks the final appearance in the programme of Peter Purves, who also provides the linking narration for this release.
