Summary
It’s Indonesia in 1883 and the Doctor and Rose manage to escape from being tied to a post by the local islanders, who talked about Men of Flames who are destroying their land. Racing away through the jungle they hide behind a waterfall that leads underground where the Chalderons (a silicon based, flame-red, horned lifeform, with an incredibly high body temperaure) are attempting to drill down into the planet and empty its core, leaving behind another totally dead planet. But the Chalderons have three weaknesses; extreme heat, water and stupidity. Convincing them that they have been drilling in the wrong direction, they start to argue amongst themselves, while the Doctor and Rose make another escape. Running back to the TARDIS, the pursing Chalderons are killed when they run into the waterfall. In the TARDIS the Doctor and Rose watch from a safe distance as the island explodes killing the remaining Chalderons. The islands name, the Doctor tells rose is Krakatoa, which when it exploded destroyed two thirds of the island. For more stunning displays the Doctor suggests the displays of the mating Fire Dragons of Ket-el or the lovely twin supernova out near Deneb-3.
