Bewildered and confused, the travellers become suspicious of each other's motives, and tensions within the ship begin to rise.

Carole Ann Ford, who played Susan in the BBC TV series, narrates the visual action, and in a bonus interview she recalls making the TV episodes, which were written by David Whitaker and first broadcast in February 1964.
