ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Metamorph. Season 2, Episode 1. First broadcast Saturday 4 September 1976.
After just over six months, we’re back, and all the members of the Moonbase Alpha crew who weren’t killed off by the producers during the break are huddled in a cramped and airless cupboard some feet underground, awaiting the arrival of this week’s alien threat — played by Brian Blessed dressed as a badger crossed with an onion — who has no desire to kill everyone on the base — preferring instead to enslave and lobotomise them all before using them to train his latest Large Language Model. Which seems fitting, given just how dumb everything has suddenly got.
