Modern Series Episode 163:
Orphan 55

Plot

Graham wins a trip to Tranquility, an all-inclusive resort in the far future. No sooner has the TARDIS crew begun to settle in and enjoy the amenities, however, than it becomes clear that the spa is in crisis. The Doctor discovers that Tranquility is actually housed on an “orphan” planet, abandoned by its original inhabitants after a nuclear holocaust. The surviving lifeforms on Orphan 55 are the monstrous Dregs, apex predators now determined to kill every vacationer on the resort. But the Dregs' incursion is just part of a larger scheme by a mysterious saboteur to ensure Tranquility's utter destruction...
