Doctor Who and the Silurians, The Ambassadors of Death and Inferno are all very similar stories. I'd hesitate to call them "base under siege" stories but they're very much "base under siege" adjacent. In each story, the Doctor finds himself at a government facility where something hinky is going on. There are still monsters to be fought but, often, the biggest fight is with the pompous blowhard bureaucrat who's running the facility. In Inferno, it's a mining facility being run by the arrogant Professor Stahlman. The twist on the story, which certainly helps elevate it, is that the Doctor ends up being transported to a parallel world where he gets to witness what happens when the Professor's project reaches its conclusion. Also, it's a fascist parallel world. And there are hunchback werewolf zombies running around. It's a lot of fun.
