The Doctor

The TARDIS materialises in the strange domain of the Toymaker, an evil extra-dimensional force that lives in a fantasy world. The Toymaker forces them to take part in his bizarre games - if they fail, he will make them his playthings forever. The Doctor is made to play the complex Trilogic game, whilst Steven and Dodo take part in deadly versions of 'Blind Man's Bluff'; 'Musical chairs' against the Heart family; 'Hunt the Key' in a kitchen; and against dancing dolls in a ballroom. Their final opponent is the sadistic schoolboy Cyril, against whom the play a game across electrified triangles; Cyril cheats and wins, but slips and electrifies himself. The Doctor completes the Trilogic game by imitating the Toymaker's voice, and he and his companions escape whilst the Toymaker's universe is destroyed. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor clutchs his face in pain...
