When the TARDIS lands in on Earth in a quarry the Doctor and Sarah are caught in a mining explosion. She is found clutching what appears to be a fossilised hand buried in 150 million-year-old strata. Analysis shows the hand to be silicon-based and inert but when Sarah begins to act as if possessed the Doctor suspects that it may still be alive... Originally transmitted on BBC1 2 October to 23 October 1976.
I love this story. Its brilliant. Its got everything from a spine chilling plot to a very sad ending. The Hand of Fear is the last to feature Sarah-Jane as a full time companion. Its very upsetting to see her leave the TARDIS one last time but don't let the ending get you down. The story is quite superb. I recomend it for any fan of the show.

The TARDIS materialises in an English quarry where Sarah is involved in a rock fall. When she is rescued, she is clutching a stone hand, which takes control of her and forces her to take it into the core of a nuclear reactor. The Doctor (Tom Baker) arrives too late to stop the hand from regenerating into an alien lifeform known as Eldrad, who demands to be returned to her home planet of Kastria. The Doctor obliges, but all is not as it seems with Eldrad. This was Sarh Jane Smith's last adventure with the Doctor, although she later returned in 'K-9 and Company', 'The Five Doctors' and 'Downtime'.
