In a weird jungle valley, the Victorian explorer Rupert Von Thal saves Bloomsbury novelist Beatrice Mapp from a ghastly death in the grip of a monstrous mantis. But this is no Lost World of the dinosaurs. According to their travelling companions, the Doctor and Nyssa, all four have been transported back to a primitive Earth that should never have existed!
Further down the valley is the vast city where the scorpions live. Walking, talking, intelligent scorpions, ruled over by their cruel and sinister master. The Doctor and Nyssa are being drawn ever tighter into the clutches of... the boy that time forgot.

Bringing back a dead character is always controversial, especially a character that so many people hated, and this is no exception. In addition to this, the plot was really wafer thin and just an excuse for the dynamics between the Doctor, Nyssa and the Scorpion King - the rest of the cast, while splendidly acted (and maybe the most enjoyable part of this play), could have disappeared for all it served in the story.
And what happened to the Big Finish number one rule of never recasting parts?
