"Frontios," if you do not recall, was about a group of survivors
from the (as Turlough put it) "doomed planet Earth" in the far
future, who established a colony on Frontios.  Unfortunately,
they are having some domestic problems, i.e., people being
sucked into the ground, and the Doctor discovers that
Tractators (Who Turlough seems to know about -- they invaded
his home planet at one point, or something like that) are
responsible.  Meanwhile, the TARDIS is mysteriously "lost,"
and in one of the strangest scenes ever to appear on the show,
it turns out (after the Doctor destroys the Tractators
somehow) that the underground cavern, where they are, seems
almost to be trapped inside the TARDIS.  That is to say,
in the end, the walls crumble down, and they find they are
inside the TARDIS, just in the door behind the console room.

This is the first story in which a hat rack is believed by
the colonists to be some sort of weapon.
