Doctor Who: 10 Weirdest Moments From The Classic Series

9. The Giant Plastic Lizards Take A Moment Out From Global Conquest To Get High

001 Terrileptils OK, yes, I know. Soliton gas. Need it to breathe. Flammability is a key plot point. I acknowledge all of those arguments. Nonetheless... Just look at those Terrileptils - they are clearly gathering around a giant space-bong. Furthermore, Can it be a coincidence how loopy and careless they get immediately after they're done rockin' the space Ganja? They accidentally burn down their whole secret lair, giving this message - stay off the space drugs and stay in school kids. That said, it should be acknowledged that the Terrileptils are one of the few examples from the original series run where it's acknowledged that just because these particular Terrileptils were bad guys that didn't mean that all of them were, which is always a nice touch.
