Three alien ambassadors visited [[Earth]] some time after making contact with a [[human]] exploration mission on [[Mars]], where one astronaut named [[Jim Daniels]] was accidentally killed because the ambassadors had no way of knowing their touch was fatal to humans. [[Carrington (The Ambassadors of Death)|Carrington]], the surviving [[astronaut]] from that mission, by then a high-ranking [[Great Britain|British]] army officer and head of security at Space Control, kidnapped the ambassadors. After forcing them to carry out a series of raids and murders, his organisation planned to expose their existence to the world, stirring up public opinion and forcing world governments to launch a [[nuclear]] strike against their spacecraft. This plan was defeated by the [[Third Doctor]] and the ambassadors were returned.

* The species' true form is only ever shown once in the story, and appears on-screen for less than a second. This occurs in episode six, when one of the alien ambassadors removes its astronaut's space helmet in front of [[Liz Shaw]] in the radiation chamber. | * The species' true form is only ever shown once in the story, and appears on-screen for less than a second.
