Quotes
====================================
"I can call K9 he if I want to. You call the Tardis she. You do. I've heard you. You called it she just a moment ago. And another thing. It is quite clear to me that you cannot control this old machine either." ~ Leela
"Leela, I understand the Tardis perfectly. There's not one single part of her that I haven't adjusted or repaired at some time or another. Furthermore, I am in complete and constant control of her." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Your ancestors have a talent for self-destruction that borders on genius." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"No, no, no. The one who leads says come on. Come on." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Escaped from somewhere, hasn't she? If you're her doctor, you shouldn't let her wander around loose. She could do someone a damage." ~ Ted Moss
Moss: No. His people dig up bodies.
The 4th Doctor: They do? Splendid.
Leela: Grave robbers.
The 4th Doctor: Or archaeologists.
Mitchell: Now I can see why they burnt witches.
Colby: Cheaper than oil.
"Come on, legs. Come on, you can do it. Pull yourself together. Come on now, lift. Left, right, left. That's it, legs, run! Run! Run! Run! Run!" ~ The Fourth Doctor
"What are you, exactly? Some sort of wandering Armageddon peddler, hmm?" ~ Adam Colby
Leela: Well, the Doctor came to stop the sonic time scan.
Tyler: Oh. What's one of them?
Leela: He said it would cause a, a direct continuum er..., implosion.
"Listen. I'm sure the Doctor can help you. Oh, he's very difficult sometimes, but he has great knowledge and gentleness." ~ Leela
"I am serious. The place is surrounded by guards, we're beset by a wandering lunatic and we have a pair of corpses on our hands. And on top of all that, the telephone seems to be very dead. Thea, we're trapped." ~ Adam Colby
"I, I seen it. In my mind. Dark. Great dark. It called me. In my mind it called me. Hungry. It were hungry for my soul. Everything. There'll be nothing left. No life left. Help me! Help us! It were hungry for my soul." ~ Martha Tyler
"I think it's the Fendahl. It grows and exists by death. The Fendahl absorbs the full spectrum of energy, what some people call a life force or soul. It eats life itself." ~ The Fourth Doctor
The 4th Doctor: Throw in the apple cores very hard, put the lot in a shallow tin and bake in a high oven for two weeks. (sotto) It's too late. She's slipping away. Come on.
Martha: Here, just a minute.
The 4th Doctor: What is it?
Martha: That ain't the way to make a fruitcake.
"It's a weakness in the fabric of space and time. Every haunted place has one, doesn't it? That's why they're haunted. It's a time distortion. This one must be very large. Large enough to have affected the place names round here. Like Fetchborough. Fetch. An apparition, hmm?" ~ The Fourth Doctor
"No, no, no. Put it away, put it away. It's a good thing your tribe never developed guns. They'd have woken with a start one morning and wiped themselves out." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Well of course it matters! We Time Lords are a very meticulous people. You have to be when you live as long as we do. All information is recorded." ~ The Fourth Doctor
Leela: Time loop?
The 4th Doctor: Yes, a time loop. All memory of a planet's been erased by a circle of time, making data and its records invisible. Only a Time Lord could do that.
Leela: That's very clever.
The 4th Doctor: That's criminal!
"Listen! You nearly got us all killed down there. Now be quiet, or you'll get yourself killed up here!" ~ Leela
The 4th Doctor: Yes, sodium chloride. Obviously affects the conductivity, ruins the overall electrical balance and prevents control of localised disruption to the osmotic pressures.
Leela: Salt kills it.
The 4th Doctor: I just said that. Probably the origin of throwing it over your shoulder.
"And then the Time Lords decided to destroy the entire planet, and hid the fact from posterity. They're not supposed to do that sort of thing, you know." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"The Fendahl is death. How do you kill death?" ~ The Fourth Doctor
Leela: What now?
The 4th Doctor: We leave. Vanishing priories take a lot of explaining.

Trivia
====================================
This story introduced a new version of Leela's famous leather outfit. It was noticeably lighter in colour than the last. The new version was created because the original was wearing out. Furthermore, it had caused Louise Jameson some problems because it was a leotard. The new version, by contrast, was actually a dress. Producer Graham Williams had also instructed the designer, Amy Roberts, to make Louise look sexier in the new outfit. The original leotard appears briefly at the end of Episode 4 (mainly to facilitate the punchline to a joke in episode 1) and would return in the next story, The Sun Makers, before the new version came back for Leela's final two appearances.
This was the first television work Wanda Ventham had done since the birth of her son, Benedict Cumberbatch, the previous year.
