Portal:Doctor Who/Selected story/24

The Savages is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from May 28 to June 18, 1966. This serial marks the final appearance of Peter Purves as companion Steven Taylor. From this point on, all serials were given an overall title, as opposed to episode titles. In the episode, the TARDIS has arrived on a distant and seemingly idyllic world, but the Doctor, Steven and Dodo discover that it hides a terrible secret: the apparently civilised Elders maintain their advanced society through a most unethical means.
