Man Outside Lavatory
Inglaterra, 1967. Kenneth Hallywell (Alfred Molina), un hombre desequilibrado, mató a martillazos a su amante, el famoso dramaturgo Joe Orton (Gary Oldman), mientras dormía. Después se suicidó tomando una sobredosis de barbitúricos. Ambos tenían en común una infancia solitaria desprovista de amor y una ardiente ambición por conquistar el mundo. Ken enseñó a Joe todo lo que sabía de literatura y de arte, y Joe inició a Ken en la promiscuidad sexual (principalmente en los urinarios públicos). Pero, en aquella época, la homosexualidad era ilegal en Inglaterra, y los dos fueron a parar a la cárcel. La prisión supuso una liberación para Joe, que por primera vez terminó una obra que le proporcionó fama y éxito; pero para Ken fue el principio de una pesadilla que terminó la noche fatal en que murieron. Lo habían compartido todo menos la fama.

The TARDIS arrives on the unnamed planet of the Gonds, who are ruled and taught in a form of self-perpetuating slavery by the alien Krotons — crystalline beings whose ship, the Dynatrope, crash-landed there thousands of years earlier after being damaged in a space battle. The Krotons are in suspended animation, in a crystalline slurry form, awaiting a time when they can be reconstituted by absorption of mental energy. Periodically, the two most brilliant Gond students are received into the Dynatrope, nominally to become "companions of the Krotons", but in truth to have their mental energy drained, after which they are killed.
