The Second Doctor, Ben and Polly land on what appears to be an idyllic world. So peaceful does it seem that Polly immediately dubs it "Heaven". After some exploration, Ben discovers the world is inhabited. The TARDIS crew go to meet the locals, humanoids dressed in what resemble Greek clothing. They speak musically and stop the Doctor and his companions from bickering with each other. This world, it turns out, is actually named "Harmony", and they wish to ensure the name is accurate.

  • The Second Doctor, Ben and Polly land on what appears to be an idyllic world. So peaceful does it seem that Polly immediately dubs it "Heaven". After some exploration, Ben discovers the world is inhabited. The TARDIS crew go to meet the locals, humanoids dressed in what resemble Greek clothing. They speak musically and stop the Doctor and his companions from bickering with each other. This world, it turns out, is actually named "Harmony", and they wish to ensure the name is accurate. At first, the TARDIS crew are amazed at the sumptuous treatment they're accorded. But as the Doctor begins to ask questions about the word, he encounters some nonsensical answers. Their hosts claim not to have either animals or farms. While his companions are sleeping, the Doctor determines to figure out how the locals derive their nutrition. What he discovers is a rather gruesome room filled with heads. When his presence is detected by Alba and Sandor, they tell him that their world once did have animals, but they died out long ago. Now they wait for people to come to their planet, so they can harvest them. Sensing he is in immediate danger, he pulls his recorder from his pocket, and begins to play discordant notes on it. The locals are all physically stunned by this disharmony. The Doctor runs to the sleeping quarters to retrieve Ben and Polly. Still using the recorder for protection, the trio manage to find their way back to the TARDIS and depart. Ben and Polly never find out exactly why the Doctor rushed them off the planet, because he judges them "too young" for the awful truth.
