BEHIND THE STORY with PHIL WHITMORE
“CHEEKY BEES”

This story was originally called “STRANGERS FROM THE WET PLANET” or, more bizarrely, “STICKY FINGERS”

The giant bee-people, called Minipols, are an obvious parody of Doctor Who’s butterfly people- the Menoptera, as seen in “The Web Planet”.

They are dumping their excess honey on Htrae, because they don’t know where else to put it.

The most interesting thing about the Minipols, is that they always say things twice.

And Mr Custa shows off his Space Karate moves by K.O-ing one of the Minipols in the very dark caves.
