'''The Macros''' formally the Macros Men is the Eighth and final Lost Story of [[Season 23]] to be developed into an audio play, starring [[Colin Baker]] and [[Nicola Bryant]] as the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri]].


The couple first got the idea from reading Charles Berlitz' ''The Philadelphia Experiment'', a story about an experiment conducted by the [[United States]] during [[World War II]] in the attempts to try and make the ''USS Eldridge'' invisible to [[radar]]. The plot involved [[the Doctor]] and [[Peri]] arriving onboard the ship in harbour in [[1943]] where they battled microscopic [[humanoid]] life native to [[Earth]] but unknown to [[human]]s.
==Publisher's summary==
The TARDIS materializes on the USS Eldridge, after the Philadelphia Experiment has gone disastrously wrong. Most of the crew are dead, the ship is disintegrating, and the Doctor soon realizes that the problem comes from another dimension…


After meeting with [[Eric Saward]] numerous times, ''The Macro Men'' became ''The Macros'' and many revisions only resulted in a draft first episode script before all progress was stopped.
As they attempt to find a way to get the ship home, the Doctor and Peri visit the distant planet Capron and meet its tyrannical ruler Osloo. But the search for a possible solution only creates increasingly dire problems. Osloo's horizons have been widened – and space and time are hers for the taking…
