The Doctor is an observer and UNIT are providing security cover at an experimental drilling project designed to penetrate the Earth's crust and release a previously-untapped source of energy, named Stahlman's Gas after its discoverer. Professor Stahlman dismisses the concerns of the project's Executive Director Sir Keith Gold and exceeds all safety margins
in order to expedite the work. Soon however the drill head starts to leak an oily green liquid that transforms those who touch it into vicious primeval creatures with a craving for heat.

Inferno is one of my favourite stories of the Pertwee era. This is remarkable given that it doesn't feature any of the Doctor's classic nemesis. The story itself is very bleak with an element of certain doom hanging over the characters (more so than usual for a Dr Who story).
One of the best features of the story is the opportunity to see cast members act out a different persona for their characters; some which they appear to relish. Nicholas Courtney gives a memorable performance as the eye patched Brigade Leader Lethbridge-Stewart. Whilst the special effects in some parts appear dated to modern eyes they don't get in the way of what is a well-paced story.
The special features highlight filming difficulties and what story elements were added to make what was originally a four part story into a seven part story. Dr Who fans can be grateful they did as those elements really made the story what it is. Also included is a discussion on the end of the classic series and the wait for the new series from the point of view of the staff of Dr Who magazine.
