Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Fearing that the weather could be as dreary as most Octobers in Britain tend to be, as an "added bonus" the Fourth Doctor arranges for the "MONSTER MIX" to be added to this week's issue. He hides the names of twenty of his past foes in a "maze of letters" for the readers to find.
