BASIC PLOT
The TARDIS lands at an academy for top athletes, all hoping to be chosen for the forthcoming Globe Games. But is one of them driven enough to resort to murder?

IN SUMMARY - Robert Smith?
The Sontaran Games is short and sweet, and won't tax your brain, but it's perfectly acceptable kids' fare. The games are a bit dull, but there's a great twist near the end. And the whole thing is over before it has time to outstay its welcome, so there isn't really much to complain about.
