'''''The Invisible Enemy''''' was the second serial of [[Season 15 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 15]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It saw the first appearance of [[K9 Mark I|K9]].


This story returned the Fourth Doctor and Leela to the original [[TARDIS console room]] from the beginning of [[season 14]], now with a considerably updated appearance, with the changes in its features and the fact the Doctor had reverted to using a different console room all this time being explained as a deliberate attempt to redecorate the console. During the production break between the [[1976 (production)|1976]] and [[1977 (production)|1977]] seasons, the newer, gothic-style TARDIS console set that had been designed to improve the comfort of camera crew's filming duties was put into storage. However, the wooden panelled walls of the set proved to be its greatest flaw when they warped out of shape while the prop was not being used. The damage was too extensive to repair, and the new set had to be discarded in favour of adopting a replacement based on the old console design.

=== Part 1 ===
A small [[spacecraft]] flies through an [[asteroid belt]]. Despite the efforts of the three-man crew, it is drawn into an anomaly. An energy discharge strikes the ship and infects the [[computer]] with a [[The Swarm (The Invisible Enemy)|virus]], which declares, "Contact has been made."

By the time the ship reaches [[Titan Base]], the three crewmen have been infected also. They kill the resident crew and reveal their slowly changing faces. When the station supervisor, [[Lowe (The Invisible Enemy)|Lowe]], realises the men he knew are now trying to take over the base, he sends out a distress call.

Line 41: Line 46:
The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Leela]], back in the refurbished [[console room]], intercept the distress signal and proceed towards [[Titan]]. They pass through the same anomaly. The Doctor is struck by the energy, collapsing on the floor. He eventually recovers but seems disorientated and briefly has trouble speaking. Despite Leela's warrior instincts telling her there is danger and evil on the station, the Doctor insists they answer the mayday. The shuttle crew are already aware of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]' imminent arrival and prepare for the coming of "[[the Nucleus]]". Lowe tries to stop them, killing [[Silvey]], but [[Safran]] and [[Meeker]] chase him into the [[cryogenic]] section and lock him in.

The Doctor and Leela separate and explore the station. Leela finds a frozen Lowe and helps him recover, learning of the shuttle crew's strange behaviour. The Doctor meets Safran and Meeker, who use the energy discharge to further infect him. They order him to kill Leela, who is immune and therefore useless to them. When the Doctor finds her, Meeker insists that he is not in danger from the Nucleus that infests the Doctor's body. Leela kills Meeker, but not before he has infected Lowe. As Lowe leaves to follow Safran, the Doctor creeps up behind Leela, his hand covered with silver fur, and aims a weapon at her back.

* The idea of injecting miniaturised people into someone's body in order to solve a medical problem, and especially the exit through the tear duct, are strongly reminiscent of the film {{wi|Fantastic Voyage}} and its novelisation by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov Issac Asimov], of which [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]] drew inspiration for this story from <ref>http://www.shannonsullivan.com/doctorwho/serials/4t.html</ref>.

* The introduction of K9 Mark I marks the beginning of an almost seven-year span of stories featuring at least one non-human companion which lasted until the departure of [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]], a native of [[Trion (planet)|Trion]], and the destruction of [[Kamelion]], a shape-shifting [[android]], in ''[[Planet of Fire (TV story)|Planet of Fire]]'' in 1984.

* [[Tom Baker]] had terrible trouble acting opposite the Nucleus because he could not take it seriously. At one point, he started singing "Prawn Free". Finally, he blurted out, "How am I supposed to act to a f*cking prawn?"
* [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]] got the idea for a sentient virus as the antagonist from a newspaper article on virus mutations. The idea of diseases impacting the mind and imagination came from an article in ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_American Scientific American].''
* [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]] originally hoped that much of part three could be made on location, with the Doctor's mind represented by college cloisters or a stately garden.
* Originally, the Nucleus' emergence into the macroscopic world was to trigger the transformation of its infected victims into similar creatures.
* At one stage, the story's resolution involved the Doctor igniting Titan's atmosphere in order to destroy the Nucleus and its breeding tank.
* [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]] developed "Contact has been made" as a mantra in the same manner as "[[Eldrad]] must live" from [[The Hand of Fear (TV story)|''The Hand of Fear.'']]
* [[Derrick Goodwin]] and [[Nell Curran]] would later marry.
* Because of the money spent on K9 and the model sequences, little was left over to construct the Nucleus costume. The result, inspired by scripted references to its prawn-like appearance, was not popular with the cast and crew, and was very uncomfortable for [[John Scott Martin]] to wear. To make matters worse, bits of fibreglass tended to flake off, sticking to the camera lenses and becoming a breathing hazard.
