After the two aliens are taken back to Moonbase Alpha s Medical Centre and revived, the elder introduces himself as Pasc, and the boy as his son Etrec. Pasc explains that they are emissaries from Archanon, the planet of peace; he was in command of a mission to Earth, but his team were affected by a  contagion of evil while visiting the planet; led by his wife Lyra, they rebelled and imprisoned him and Etrec in the stasis chamber. While Alan Carter befriends Etrec, Doctor Russell discovers a virus in Pasc and Etrec's blood cells; the Alphans soon discover that the virus is actually a genetic sickness passed down through generations of Archanon males - and it instils them with an overwhelming urge to kill everything and everyone... <BR><BR> Martin Landau (<B>Commander John Koenig</B>), Barbara Bain (<B>Doctor Helena Russell</B>), Catherine Schell (<B>Maya</B>), Tony Anholt (<B>Tony Verdeschi</B>), Nick Tate (<B>Captain Alan Carter</B>), John Hug (<B>Bill Fraser</B>), Yasuko Nagazumi (<B>Yasko Nugami</B>), John Standing (<B>Pasc</B>), Michael Gallagher (<B>Etrec</B>), Veronica Lang (<B>Lyra / Maurna</B>), John Alkin (<B>Johnson</B>), Anthony Forrest (<B>Carson</B>), Raul Newey (<B>Doctor Raul Nunez</B>), Terry Walsh (<B>Rescue Eagle Pilot</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Charles Crichton <BR>Produced by Fred Freiberger <BR>Series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>UK (ATV Midlands):<BR> October 16th, 1976 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Commander John Koenig, Doctor Helena Russell, Maya, Tony Verdeschi, Captain Alan Carter and Bill Fraser <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
