The Doctor and Leela then enter the lighthouse. He notes that the generator is working so wonders what's happening to the power. He decides they should speak to the crew and quickly come across Vince. The Doctor quickly claims that they're lost and that their ship is on the other side of the island. Vince then leads them up to the crew room. | The Doctor and Leela then enter the lighthouse. He notes that the generator is working so wonders what's happening to the power.

The Doctor asks Vince what the trouble is with the power and Vince tells him about the generator cutting out and that it's driving Ben nuts. They ask who Ben is and Vince talks about his two fellow keepers. Having been told by Vince that Reuben is up in the lamp room, the Doctor asks where Ben is but Vince is confused as he knows Ben was in the generator room, assuming that the Doctor and Leela must have seen him. He presumes that Ben must have stepped outside but Leela says that if he had been there she would have heard him. Vince wants to go and look but the Doctor says he will, leaving Vince to look after Leela. He is excited to have a lady in the lighthouse but she doesn't notice this. He initially offers her a drink but she remarks she would rather have dry clothes. He says they don't have anything suitable for a lady but she laughs and says she's no lady. She starts to undress so he quickly goes to find her some clothes. | The Doctor asks Vince what the trouble is with the power and Vince tells him about the generator cutting out and that it's driving Ben nuts.

The Doctor inspects the generator room but can't find any sign of Ben. Vince comes down and thinks the Doctor has fixed the problem and that Ben will be pleased. The Doctor says that won't be the case because Ben is dead; remarking that he was killed by a massive electric shock. Vince is and goes off to tell Reuben. However, Leela knows the Doctor does not believe Ben was killed by the generator. He quickly inspects the coal hole but finds nothing inside. He remarks that whatever killed him has left no trace and probably has the ability to drain electricity. They then notice that Ben's lantern is completely shattered. | The Doctor inspects the generator room but can't find any sign of Ben.

Reuben crosses himself having learned of Ben's death. He is sceptical of the Doctor and Leela from what Vince has told him; wondering if they could be spies. Vince doesn't believe it but Reuben remarks that all these events have happened at the time they arrived. He decides to go down and see them himself. | Reuben crosses himself having learned of Ben's death.

* Vince is very excitable at having female company in the lighthouse, indicating that he is single. However, he is clearly wearing a wedding ring throughout the story. | |||
* As the Rutan is about to kill Ben, the POV shot makes it seem like the Rutan almost as tall as him when in fact it's barely one foot high in its natural form. | * As the Rutan is about to kill Ben, the POV shot makes it seem like the Rutan almost as tall as him when in fact it's barely one foot high in its natural form. | ||
* Palmerdale's death was filmed in reverse to achieve the right effect. However, he reacts too slowly to the tentacle being pulled off of him, which leads to him looking like he is screaming before even being attacked. | * Palmerdale's death was filmed in reverse to achieve the right effect.
