The Impossible Planet (TV story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
"The Beast and his armies shall make war against God."
Synopsis
The TARDIS lands in a base on the planet Krop Tor which orbits the black hole K37 Gem 5 without falling into it, a circumstance so inexplicable that even the Doctor cannot understand it. The base crew are drilling to the centre of the planet, to discover the power source which keeps it in a stable orbit around the black hole. But an ancient evil is there too. And he is awake.
