Life is generally a fight for survival for all of us, but there are a special kind of 'others' who find the playing field around them taken to a new level of battle, as the Seventh Doctor and Ace are equally caught in an unusual kind of 'catflap' - arriving on a fiery world to discover the mysterious Cheetah People and their special skills of teleportation and hunting, in Rona Munro's intriguing Classic Who series finale, Survival.
I have always enjoyed Alister Pearson's splendid Target books cover for Miss Munro's memorable novel, which, like many of the McCoy adaptations of the time, was given increased character and story depth by its author.
