The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Leela (Louise Jameson) materialize on the deck of the R1C, a spaceship from the dying planet Minyos. Under the leadership of Commander Jackson (James Maxwell), the ship's crew has embarked upon a desperate search for their species' "race bank" in hopes of revitalizing their world. At least that's the story that the Doctor (Tom Baker) is told by the Minyans -- but he has good reason to be wary. Beginning its four-episode run on January 4, 1978, "Underworld" was written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
