In the third episode of the six-part story "The Web Planet," the Doctor (William Hartnell) and his companions are still mired in a power struggle on the planet Vortis. Aligning himself with the exiled butterfly-like race the Menoptera, the Doctor endeavors to free the planet from the rule of the ant-like Zarbi. This requires him to make a perilous foray into the Web Centre, the better to solve the mystery of the force that holds the planet in thrall. Written by Bill Strutton, "Escape to Danger" first aired on February 27, 1965.
