The Doctor and Martha alight on Tiermann's World, which is a planet covered in wintry woods with sabretooth tigers and beasts roaming freely. Professor Ernst Tiermann, however, lives in an AI controlled Dreamhome with force fields and Servo-furnishings (robots that do his bidding). The Doctor attempts to warn him about a large space monster coming his way, the Voracious Craw, which devours everything in its path.

There are a lot of twists and turns in this story, notably involving Tiermann's family who are not what they seem. I preferred "Feast of the Drowned" but this is also an excellent Whovian adventure.
