In the third episode of the four-part story "The Horns of Nimon," both the Doctor (
Tom Baker) and Romana (Lalla Ward) are captured by the Nimon, and prepared for human sacrifice. This pleases demented scientist Soldeed (
Graham Crowden), who hopes that by serving the Nimon he can restore the past empiric glories of his home planet Skonnos. The Nimon has a slightly different agenda in mind. Written by Anthony Read, "The Horns of Nimon, Episode 3" first aired on January 4, 1980. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
