1500BC
- King Actaeus & his subjects live in mortal fear of the
awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient
Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows
they're not gods at all. They're aliens.
For the aliens, it's the perfect holiday
- they get to tour the sights of a
primitive planet & even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial
games, or hunting down & killing humans who won't be missed.
With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents
behind this deadly package holiday company
- his old enemies the
Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without
endangering more lives? & how are events in ancient Greece linked
to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?
