The Doctor, Dodo and Steven arrive on a planet in the future, where they are well received by the Elders and what seems like their idyllic way of life. Outside the Elder city, the visitors discover a community known as Savages and a terrible secret that shocks them. With all four of the original episodes missing, except for their audio, this new animated version presents the complete story 59 years after it originally screened.

Tickets £17, concessions £14 (Members pay £2 less).

Doctor Who: The Savages will soon be released on Blu-ray and DVD by BBC Studios.
