In the conclusion of the four-part story "The Leisure Hive," the Doctor (Tom Baker) tries to prevent a second nuclear holocaust on the planet Argolis. Unfortunately, he may be too late; the Tachyon Recreation Generator has been activated and it looks as though an army of killer clones will be the result. Instead, however, the T.R.G. turns out to have a conscience -- and a sense of humor. Originally telecast September 20, 1980, "The Leisure Hive, Episode 4" was written by David Fisher. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the third episode of the four-part story "The Leisure Hive," the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana (Lalla Ward), visiting a recreational facility on the war-ravaged planet Argolis, have been arrested for the murder of Earth scientist Hardin (Nigel Lambert). It turns out the actual culprit is Pagnol (David Haig), a humanoid creation of the Tachyon Recreation Generator, who intends to generate an army of duplicates of himself to attack Argolis' arch-enemy, the Foamasi. Though Pagnol's motivations are (relatively) pure, they may have devastating consequences for the few survivors of the Argolis-Foamasi nuclear war. Originally telecast September 13, 1980, "The Leisure Hive, Episode 3" was written by David Fisher. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
