== Synopsis ==
The TARDIS lands on board a huge spaceship, where the Doctor and his companions encounter the frog-like Urbankans and human androids. The androids are drawn from four different ethnic groups: Greek, led by Bigon; Chinese, led by Lin Futu; Mayan, led by Villagra; and Aboriginal Australian, led by Kurkutji. They perform regular displays of dance and other rituals termed 'recreationals'.
The [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Adric]] arrive on a spaceship which is headed for [[Earth]]. On board they meet natives of Earth from various different eras, and also three [[Urbankan|Urbankans]]: [[Monarch]], [[Minister of Persuasion|Persuasion]] and [[Minister of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]]. What are the aliens' intentions when they reach Earth?
 
The Urbankans' leader, Monarch, aided by his ministers Persuasion and Enlightenment, is engaged in a complex scheme to plunder Earth of the raw materials he needs to travel back in time and  confirm his belief in his own status as the universe's divine creator.
 
Monarch has a poison he intends to use to conquer humanity so Earth can be repopulated with his androids. The Doctor, however, throws a canister of the poison at Monarch, causing him to shrink to virtually nothing.
