With miners flaring phosphorescent green before dying violently, the Doc + UNIT are called to South Wales. Venturing into the long-forgotten mine shaft, the Doc discovers a festering army of Giant Maggots waiting to be unleashed upon the World...
With moralistic overtones, a great script, a revolting monster in the Maggots and a complex villain in Stevens, The Green Death simply cannot fail. There are some nice characters in the hippies (alongside some walking Welsh cliches) and some great effects for the Maggots (alongside some crap CSO work), and best of all is Jo's piognant departure, which alongside Susan's is the best, and the final few moments are very moving, with the melancholy Doctor driving away in Bessie. Alone. Aah. Great story!
