Doctor Who continued …

You can’t say that this episode doesn’t do what it says on the tin.  Our heroes spend most of their time in a forest.  Za defeats a beast that we don’t see and, despite apparently being at death’s door, it doesn’t take him long to recover.

Prior to this, the Old Woman helps the team escape via an alternative exit (a massive hole covered by twigs that no one else seems to know about).  The motives of the Old Woman seem unclear.  As an old woman, it would surely be in her interest for the cavemen to rediscover fire as they’re not doing all that well right now, and other tribes are dying off due to the cold.

Kal again seeks to manipulate the tribe into seeing things his way, blaming Za for the death of the Old Woman and casting suspicions and accusations as fact to declare himself leader.

Next time … The Firemaker
