Horror of Fang Rock
Book
On a remote rocky island a few miles off the Channel coast stands Fang Rock lighthouse. There have always been tales of the beast of Fang Rock, but when the TARDIS lands here with Leela and the Doctor, the orce they must deal with is more sinister and deadly than the mythical beast of the past.

It is the early 1900's, electricity is just coming into common usage, and the formless, gelatinous mass from the future must use the lighthouse generators to recharge its system. Nothing can stop this Rutan scout in is search and its experimantation on humans ...

Horror of Fang Rock
by Terrance Dicks

It is the turn of the century, and the TARDIS materialises by the lighthouse on the desolate isle of Fang Rock. When the engineer dies in mysterious circumstances, the remaining crew blame the mythical Beast of Fang Rock - until the Doctor and Leela turn up... 

When a small clipper runs aground on the crags of Fang Rock, the lighthouse offers shelter to its desparate passengers. But the Doctor soon discovers clues that suggest that no one is safe on the tiny island. 

Whilst a private drama unfolds between the survivors of the wrecked clipper, another death occurs. The Doctor suspects a ruthless alien lurks in the thick unnatural fog around the island, and secures the lighthouse. But has he really locked the horror out, or is it somewhere inside with them...? 

Originally transmitted 3rd - 24th September 1977, this gripping story kicked off Tom Baker's fourth season as the Doctor.
