| Story Synopsis When the Doctor and his friends stray from their astral plane and the TARDIS materialises in eerie alien surroundings, a mysterious force prevents them from leaving. Is it a natural phenomenon or some malevolent intelligence?
Uncanny occurrences are followed by encounters with the deadly Zarbi and their unknown leader, to whom the travellers fall prey. With their allies, the Menoptra, the travellers must discover how to immobilise the Zarbi, save the Menoptra from massacre and rid the planet of this powerful and horrifying evil.
As a growing web building begins to envelop the planet, imprisoning the travellers in its mesh, the Doctor must consult all of his wisdom to escape its hypnotic power. But what is at the centre of the web and from where does it draw its power?

Notes
On the end credits, sub-titles are used above each race. For part one the actors playing Zarbi are billed as "Zarbi Operators", for the rest of the story they are just "The Zarbi".
Jacqueline Hill does not appear in part three.
Because of the supposed sensitive nature of the following story, The Crusade was not sold abroad to some countries, so there exists a second version of part six of The Web planet which indicates that the next episode is The Space Museum and not The Lion .
