Chapter 1
Season 1
1.1 An Unearthly Child
Susan is precocious, but seems to have strange gaps in

her understanding of the world, which the teachers have
come to her listed address, number 76 Totters Lane, to
investigate. Here they encounter a police box, the programmes main prop, known as the TARDIS, from within
which they hear Susans voice. At that time, the boxes
were a common sight in Britain, but only police ocers
held a key to enter them. The TARDIS proves to be no
ordinary police box: when Ian and Barbara enter, they
discover it to be much bigger on the inside than the outside, and furnished with futuristic-looking controls. The
time machine retains its outward appearance when it travels through time, which Susan explains as a malfunction
in the circuitry that is supposed to adapt its appearance to
its surroundings.
100,000 BC redirects here. For information about this

year, see Middle Paleolithic.
An Unearthly Child (sometimes referred to as 100,000
BC) is the rst serial in the British science ction television series Doctor Who. It was rst broadcast on BBC
TV in four weekly parts from 23 November to 14 December 1963. Scripted by the Australian writer Anthony
Coburn, it introduces William Hartnell as the First Doctor and original companions; Carole Ann Ford as the
Doctors granddaughter Susan Foreman, Jacqueline Hill
as Barbara Wright and William Russell as Ian Chesterton
as school teachers. The rst episode deals with Ian and
Barbaras discovery of the Doctor and his time-space ship
TARDIS in a junkyard in contemporary London. The remaining episodes are set amid a power struggle between
warring Stone Age factions who have lost the secret of
making re.
Susan lives with her grandfather, the mysterious Doctor,

who does not otherwise identify himself. He is a cranky,
hostile, suspicious old man who appears to be a fugitive.
Fearing that Barbara and Ian will give away the secret of
the TARDIS and make life impossible for him in London,
he sets the Tardis in ight and ends up in the Stone Age.
Initially, the rst episode was recorded in September

1963 on 405-line black and white videotape. Creator
Sydney Newman and producer Verity Lambert decided
to rerecord the episode, while making subtle revisions in
the Doctors characterisation, following several technical
and performance errors. This second recording was in
October 1963.
In the remaining three episodes, the four become involved in a brutal power struggle within a Stone Age
tribe. In The Cave of Skulls, the group encounters a
Paleolithic tribe and are subsequently imprisoned by them
in a large cave. In The Forest of Fear, they are shown
to escape from the settlement, but are subsequently intercepted before reaching the TARDIS. They barely escape with their lives by exploitation of Ians knowledge
of how to produce re, which induces fear and respect in
the primitive Stone Age society. The nal episode, The
Firemaker, has the group mediating separate factions of
the tribe before eeing successfully to the TARDIS. They
travel, seemingly at random, to a new destination; even
the Doctor does not know where. The TARDISs view
screen shows a mysterious forest that the Doctor declares
could be anywhere, which acts as a teaser for the next
story. As the time travellers leave their machine, a radiation meter is shown on the console of the machine,
unheeded by them, registering Danger.
The launch of Doctor Who was overshadowed by the

assassination of John F. Kennedy the previous day. The
serial received favourable reviews, and the four episodes
attracted an average of 6 million viewers. However, it became overshadowed by the subsequent story, The Daleks.
1.1.1
Plot
The rst episode starts in a junkyard in contemporary

London and introduces the four characters who were to
form the core of the rst years production: the Doctor,
schoolteachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, who
are concerned about one of their pupils at Coal Hill
School named Susan Foreman, who seems to have a very
alien outlook on England.

CHAPTER 1. SEASON 1
Production
The serial that became An Unearthly Child was originally commissioned from writer Anthony Coburn in June
1963, when it was intended to run as the second Doctor
Who serial. At this stage, it was planned that the series
would open with a serial entitled The Giants, to be written by BBC sta scriptwriter C. E. Webber.[4] Webber
had been heavily involved in the brainstorming meetings
which had led to the creation of Doctor Who, andwith
BBC Head of Drama Sydney Newman and Head of Serials Donald Wilsonhad co-written the initial format
document for the series.
By the middle of June, however, Wilson and Doctor
Who's initial caretaker producer Rex Tucker decided
to reject The Giants. This was partly because it was felt
the serial lacked the necessary impact for an opener, and
partly because it was felt that the technical requirements
of the storylinewhich involved the leading characters
being drastically reduced in sizewould be beyond the
capacities of the young series at this point, given the facilities available.[5] Due to the lack of scripts ready for
production, it was decided to move Coburns serial up to
rst place in the running order.[5]
October, were directed by Husseins production assistant, Douglas Cameld.[9] The incidental music score was
provided by Norman Kay. The scenic designer assigned
to the serial was Peter Brachacki, who originated the
distinctive TARDIS interior set, but he eventually handled only the very rst episode before being replaced
by Barry Newbery, as he was unhappy working on the
programme.[7]
The early series, says cultural scholar John Paul Green,
explicitly positioned the Doctor as grandfather to his
companion Susan.[10] Unlike most Doctor Who episodes,
the Doctor is accompanied in the TARDIS by not only
one companion, Susan, but also her school teachers,
Ian and Barbara (William Russell and Jacqueline Hill).
Scholar John R. Cook reects that the teachers presence
echoes Doctor Who 's original educational remit.[11] The
New Scientist reected, in 1982, that the serial was set in
the stone age because the shows original intention was
to bring to life the Earths history.[12]
The rst version of the opening episode was recorded
at Lime Grove Studios on the evening of 27 September 1963, following a week of rehearsals. The second
attempt at the opening episode was recorded on 18 October, with the following three episodes being recorded
weekly from that point onwards on 25 October, 1 November and 8 November.[7] As with much British television
of the era, the episodes were predominantly videotaped
as live", with little scope for re-takes or breaks in recording. This left room for the many mistakes that are evident
in the serial, but did allow the episodes to be completed
very quickly.
By the end of June, responsibility for getting Doctor

Who o the ground was handed over to producer Verity
Lambert and script editor David Whitaker, neither of
whom were greatly impressed with Coburns serial as a
series 'opener'. The writer was asked to carry out major
rewrites.[6] Some consideration was even given to dropping the scripts altogether, with writer Terence Dudley
briey sounded out about providing a replacement, but a
lack of time necessitated Coburns serial going ahead.[6] Pilot episode
The moving up in the schedule of Coburns story necessitated his rewriting the opening episode to include
some introductory elements of Webbers script for the
rst episode of The Giants; as a result, Webber received
a co-writers credit for the episode An Unearthly Child
on internal BBC documentation.[7] Coburn did, however,
make several signicant original contributions of his own,
most notably that the Doctors time machine should externally resemble a police box, which subsequently went on
to become one of the main icons of the show. Coburn had
the idea for the design when he came across a real police
box while on a walk near his oce.[7] Concerned to avoid
any possibility of sexual impropriety implicit in having a
young girl travelling with an older man, Coburn also inWilliam Hartnell and Carole Ann Ford in the original pilot
sisted that the character of Susan Foreman should be reepisode. Note the change in costumes compared to the screen

The serial as a whole was originally to have been directed by Rex Tucker, but when he moved on from the
series, young sta director Waris Hussein, who had been
attached to Doctor Who from an early stage, was given
the assignment.[7] Some of the pre-lmed inserts for the

Broadcast and reception
Club labelled An Unearthly Child an essential serial to

watch for background on the programme.[25] In his review, he noted that the rst episode is brilliantly done;
the next three together could be about a half-hour shorter
but get the job done. He praised the characters of Ian,
Barbara, and the mysterious Doctor, but noted that he
was far from the character he would become and Susan
was something of a cipher with the hope she would develop later.[26] DVD Talk's John Sinnott called the rst
episode excellent, but felt the story goes down hill
a bit with the introduction of the prehistoric time period. He cited the slower pace, the discussions in "Tarzanspeak, and the lack of tension or high stakes.[27] The

Daily Worker,[18] and in 2010, Charlie Jane Anders of
io9 listed it among the shows greatest clihangers.[28]
The rst episode was transmitted at 5:16pm on Saturday 23 November 1963. The assassination of John F.
Kennedy on the previous day overshadowed the launch
of a new television series.[18] It has been written that the
transmission was delayed by ten minutes due to extended
news coverage; in fact, it went out just eighty seconds
late.[19][20] The rst episode was repeated a week later, on
30 November, preceding the second episode, The Cave
of Skulls.[18]
To date, the serial has been repeated twice on the BBC,

on BBC Two in November 1981, the rst full repeat
for a Hartnell story screened on the BBC, achieving audience gures of 4.6, 4.3, 4.4 & 3.9 million viewers
respectively.[21] It was shown again (with viewing gures
of 0.8, 0.7. 0.5 & 0.5 million[29] ) as part of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, on 21 November 2013, when

televised serial, The Daleks.[35] Historian James Chapman highlights this as a reason that, in an age before
home video, many people believed the Dalek serial to be
the rst Doctor Who story because the novelisations pub-
1.1. AN UNEARTHLY CHILD
lished by Target Books were the closest that fans had to

the original programmes.[35] Similarly, Cornell et al. report that the second serial overshadowed An Unearthly
Child to such an extent that many people believed that
Terry Nation (writer of The Daleks) created not only the
famous monsters but the entire show itself; this error became so prevalent that it was mistakenly included in an
edition of the board game Trivial Pursuit.[36]

Terrance Dicks wrote the Target novelisation of this

story, initially published as Doctor Who and an Unearthly
Child in October 1981. A French-language version of the
novelisation with the title Docteur Who entre en scne (literally, Doctor Who takes the stage) was published in 1987.
A 1990 German edition published by Goldmann was one
of six Doctor Who novels from that publisher, and was
the only one not to feature the Daleks. The German title
was Doctor Who und das Kind von den Sternen (Doctor
Who and the Child from the Stars). It was the rst Target
novelisation to feature the neon logo and early editions
featured a red foil logo. The First Doctors appearance in
the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Eight Doctors,
also by Dicks, occurs during this story.

1.2. THE DALEKS
1.2 The Daleks

This article is about the 1963 television serial. For other
uses, see Dalek (disambiguation).
7
In the ensuing chaos, the Doctor and his companions escape with the Thals, and learn their version of the history
of their planet. They also learn that the Thals are avowed
pacists. They are unable to leave Skaro, however, as the
uid link has been taken by the Daleks. In order to save
them from the Daleks, the TARDIS crew convinces the
Thals of the importance of aggression and warfare, and
manages to lead the Thals in a successful attack against
the Daleks. At the end, it is believed the Dalek race has
been destroyed when their power supply is knocked out.
The TARDIS crew leave Skaro, but an explosion in the
TARDIS knocks them out.
The Daleks (also known as The Mutants and The Dead

Planet) is the second serial in the British science ction
television series Doctor Who, which was rst broadcast in
seven weekly parts from 21 December 1963 to 1 February 1964. It is the rst serial to be entirely set on an alien
planet. It was written by Terry Nation and directed by
Christopher Barry and Richard Martin. This story marks
the rst appearance of the Doctors greatest extraterrestrial enemies, the Daleks, and is also the rst to feature
recurring Skaro people, the Thals.
Continuity
In the serial, the First Doctor (William Hartnell), his
granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford), and her teach- The serial marks the rst appearance of the TARDIS'

to be required to survive on the surface of Skaro in this
seriala plot point repeated in Destiny of the Daleks
when the Doctor next returns (chronologically) to the
1.2.1 Plot
post-war planet.[3]
This story introduces two plotlines in Doctor Who, that
of the TARDIS' navigational circuits malfunctioning and
that of the supposed destruction of the Dalek race. In
this case, instead of bringing its crew back to Earth, the
TARDIS lands in a petried jungle, and the Doctor has
to try to x their position by taking a reading of the stars.
The Doctor insists they explore a futuristic city they spot
beyond the forest but Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright
are not convinced. In the forest someone touches Susans
shoulder, but the Doctor doesn't believe her. Later a box
of vials is found outside the TARDIS. The Doctor claims
the uid link of the TARDIS is running low on mercury
(a ruse he later admits to), forcing the crew to travel to
the city in search of more mercury.
This story marks the rst appearance of the Daleks.

Although many parts of the Dalek mythos were established here, several key elements of the continuity were
retroactively changed over the years. The most notable
change regarded the nature of the war with the Thals
and the transformation into the Daleks. In this story, the
Daleks mutated as a direct result of the war, and their
previous species was called the Dals. In the later Genesis
of the Daleks, their mutation was accelerated (but not directly caused) by the machinations of Davros, their previous species was the Kaleds, and the mutation marked
the end of the war with the Thals.[4]
This story was also the only instance in which the Daleks
dependence, for motive power, on static electricity from
the oors of their city was a factor. In their next appearance, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, they had found a
way around this restrictionthey sported small satellitetype dishes to receive power transmissions, and subsequently the design incorporated power-panel slats around
the midsection (though an anity for static was occasionally referenced in future serials, such as The Power
of the Daleks, and the plot of Death to the Daleks required an explanation that for basic movement they now
utilised telekinesis).[5][6][7] Similarly, this story states that
the Daleks require radiation in order to live at all (leading
to them trying to further irradiate Skaro); later stories, including the immediate sequel, show them operating without heavy background radiation.[5]
Inside the city, Barbara becomes separated from her colleagues, and is, in the iconic rst episode clihanger,
threatened by an unseen creature with a metal arm - the
rst appearance of a Dalek. Before long, the entire crew
is captured by the Daleks. Susan is eventually sent to retrieve anti-radiation drugs from the TARDIS, the Doctor
realising this is what the box contained. Susan encounters
a second species, the Thals, who used to be at war with the
Daleks. The Thal who left the drugs reveals he encountered her in the forest. Susan attempts to broker peace
between the two groups, and while it appears to work,
the Daleks eventually betray the Thals, opening re on
them at what was supposed to be a peaceful exchange of
food. The Daleks try using the anti-radiation drugs, but
discover that they are fatal to Daleks. They conclude that The Thals feature again in Planet of the Daleks and GeneDaleks need radiation to survive and decide to bombard sis of the Daleks.[4][8] In Destiny of the Daleks, they appear
to have abandoned Skaro.[3]

CHAPTER 1. SEASON 1
Production
The remount was done two weeks before it was broadcast, and Susans outt was changed in the second version. The only surviving footage of the rst version is the
recap at the start of the second episode, The Survivors,
showing Barbara menaced by a Dalek; the corresponding scene at the end of The Dead Planet was recreated
when the episode was remounted.[18] The second episode,
The Survivors, was taped on 22 November 1963. Minutes before taping started, the cast and crew learned of
the assassination of John F. Kennedy but it was decided
to continue with the recording.
Script editor David Whitaker commissioned a six-part serial from comedy writer Terry Nation, after being impressed by his work in the science-ction series Out of
This World. This was formally commissioned under the
title The Mutants on 31 July, and was originally intended
to air fourth in the seasons line-up, after Marco Polo.[9]
The designer originally assigned to this serial was Ridley
Scott, later a famed lm director. However, a problem with Scotts schedule meant that he was replaced by
Raymond Cusick, who was thus given the task of realising the Dalek creatures.[10] Cusick based the design of the

there are a few parts that drag just a bit, commended
the script for holding tension unlike in An Unearthly Child
and allowing the characters to develop. Sinnott also commented that the serial made the Daleks scary despite

Destiny of the Doctors, the player has to ask the First Doctor the surname of Susan for one of the tasks. Both English and Foreman are available options (although only
the latter is considered correct in the game).
The novelisation was translated into Dutch, Turkish,
Japanese, Portuguese, French and German.
In 2005 the novel was issued by BBC Audio as part of

Survival
The Daleks survives due to the eorts of lm collector
Ian Levine, who discovered in 1978 that older episodes
of Doctor Who were being junked to make way for newer
programmes. Coincidentally, he arrived the day that
all seven episodes of The Daleks were scheduled to be
junked, and when he learned of this, he contacted the
BBC Archive Selector, the ocial in charge of maintaining the BBC archives; the Selector then issued an order
which stopped the junking of older material, saving The
Daleks from destruction.[28]
1.2.5
The script of this serial, edited by John McElroy and titled

The Daleks, was published by Titan Books in December
1989.[31]
Home media
Commercial releases
In print
This was the rst Doctor Who serial to be adapted as a
novel. Written by David Whitaker, the book was rst
published in hardback on 12 November 1964 by Frederick Muller as Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with
the Daleks.[29] A paperback release by Armada Books followed in 1965.[30]
In 1973 Target Books published it under the cover title
Doctor Who and the Daleks, although the full title was
still given on the inside frontpage. From 1977 onwards
reprints dropped the full title. In 1992 the novelisation
was retitled Doctor Who - The Daleks. It was the very
rst novelisation published under the Target imprint (the
books would continue for the next 20 years).
From 1983 onwards the Target novelisations bore numbers, with the rst 73 releases retroactively numbered in
alphabetical order. However, it would not be until 1992
that an actual reprint stated it was No. 16 in the Target
Books Doctor Who Library.
Whitakers book diers from most later novelisations in
that it is written in the rst person and from the point
of view of a companion (Ian Chesterton). It also ignores
the events of the preceding serial An Unearthly Child, except for a modied retelling of the rst episode (to explain
how Ian and Barbara joined the Doctor). Here, Ian meets
the Doctor, Barbara (who is Susans tutor) and Susan on
Barnes Common after a car crash. The novel also plays
up the romantic tension between the two human companions and features a glass Dalek leader on Skaro.
UK DVD front cover
The serial was released twice on VHS; rst in 1989, then

again in 2001 with remastered quality and new cover artwork (this remastered edition was only released for the
United Kingdom and Australia). In 2006, it was remastered again for inclusion with An Unearthly Child and The
Edge of Destruction in the Doctor Who: The Beginning
DVD boxed set. The music from this serial was released

1.3 The Edge of Destruction

The Edge of Destruction (also referred to as Inside the
Spaceship) is the third serial in the British science ction
two weekly parts on 8 February and 15 February 1964. It
was written by David Whitaker and directed by Richard
Martin for the rst episode and Frank Cox for the second.
In the story, the Doctor (William Hartnell), his granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford), and her teachers
Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright
(Jacqueline Hill) are in the Doctors time and space machine the TARDIS when it appears to be taken over by an
outside force. The travellers begin acting strangely and
turn against each other.
Continuity
This serial introduces the ideas that the TARDIS console
and time rotor directly harness the energies which drive
the ship, and that the TARDIS is alive and somewhat
self-aware.[1][2]
This story explicitly states that the Doctor and Susan had
visited other worlds before 1963 Earth. Susan mentions
that four or ve journeys back they had visited the planet
Quinnis where the TARDIS had almost been lost.[2]
The Doctors extensive wardrobe is rst mentioned at the
end of the story, with Ian showing o an ulster that the
Doctor had received from Gilbert and Sullivan. The mispronunciation of Ians last name that began in the previous story, The Daleks, is used in this episode to signify
that everything has returned to normal after the climax.
Here the Doctor calls Ian Charterhouse.
The serial is distinguished as a rare "bottle episode", in

that the entire story is shot on a single set, with just 1.3.2 Production

threads that had been presented over the previous eleven This story was written by story editor David Whitaker

so that the series would t a thirteen episode run, which
was all that had been granted at that stage.[3] Budgetary
restrictions meant that only the four regular actors and the
TARDIS sets could be used for the lming.[4] Paddy Russell was originally assigned to direct this serial, but she
was unavailable for the recording dates so Mervyn Pineld was suggested as her replacement. Richard Martin
was in the end chosen, but he was unavailable for the second episode so Frank Cox had to take over. The episodes
were recorded in Lime Grove studio D, 17 and 24 January
1964.[5]
The fast return switch label on the TARDIS console
appears to be written in felt-tip pen. Exactly why this
was done is uncertain; on the DVD, documentary designer Raymond Cusick guesses that it was written during
rehearsals as a guide, and producer Verity Lambert surmises that it may have been written so that Hartnell could
nd the switch. Both agree, however, that the label was
probably never intended to be seen. Carole Ann Ford
states that she and William Hartnell labelled controls on
the TARDIS control panel during rehearsal, and assumed
they would be blotted out before production.[1]
CHAPTER 1. SEASON 1
1.3.3 Broadcast and reception

The serial was recommended by Charlie Jane Anders of
io9 as an example of the classic series for new viewers
to watch, describing it as a quick hit ... and still just as
intense as it was 48 years ago.[8] Radio Times reviewer
Patrick Mulkern described writer David Whitaker as a
master of dialogue, characterisation and atmosphere,
but felt he struggled with plot logic, as evidenced by the
fast return switch explanation. Despite this, he stated that
the ending had charm because the TARDIS travellers
had begun to become friends.[9] DVD Talk's John Sinnott
felt The Edge of the Destruction was the weakest serial of
the programme thus far, writing that it had some good
moments but overall it doesn't hang together quite as
well as the preceding two stories. He commented that it
felt rushed and the resolution was a cop-out that failed
to explain why the characters were acting so strangely.[10]
David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker considered the
second episode to be far better than the uncertain rst
episode and thought that overall Considering its origins
as a hasty 'ller' written to bring the initial episode count
up to thirteen, Inside the Spaceship works remarkably
well.[3]
Alternative titles
The two episodes of the serial had individual titles. They
were, respectively, The Edge of Destruction and The
Brink of Disaster. As was the case with other early Doctor Who serials, there are dierences of opinion as to the
appropriate umbrella title for this serial.
1.3.4 Themes and analysis
Tat Wood and Lawrence Miles point out the theatrical inuence on this story, drawing particular attention to Luigi
Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, and
that the point of the story is to lead the audience to think
that its a story about an alien presence inltrating the

throughout his life.
Beyond the Sun used on the rst edition of
the 1974 BBC Enterprises sales catalogue A Quick
Guide to Dr. Who, although the second edition declines to give any title for the story. It was actually a
working title for The Daleks and has also at times
been attributed to an unmade story by Malcolm
Hulke called The Hidden Planet.
1.3.5 Commercial Releases

In print
A novelisation of this serial, written by Nigel Robinson,
was published by Target Books on 20 October 1988 under
the title The Edge of Destruction. The cover was made by
Alister Pearson.[12] In January 2011, an audiobook of the
novelisation was released, read by William Russell.[13]
The Brink of Disaster the title of the second

episode, adopted for a fan list in the seeming absence of anything else.
Home media
The Edge of Destruction the title of the rst
episode, adopted for the 1976 second edition of The
Making of Doctor Who in the absence of any other
known title, and subsequently used on the novelisation, VHS and DVD releases of the stories.
The serial was released on VHS in 2000 as The Edge

of Destruction and Dr. Who: The Pilot Episode. The
US/Canada release in 2001 also included The Missing
Years (see Lost in Time) documentary from 1998 (which
was released with The Ice Warriors VHS boxset in the

Tat Wood and Lawrence Miles point out that at the time

note that Lucarotti, who had various times lived in England, Canada, Mexico, the US, and Spain, might have
been writing from personal experience when dealing with
Polos wanderlust and Susans complex relationship with
the idea of home. They also note the storys similarities
to ITC historical serials like Sir Francis Drake, and talk
about the impressive scope of the story and how unlike
later Doctor Who it is that it unfolds over three months
and in a large geographic area.[5]

1.5.1
Plot
On a small island with a glass beach, surrounded by an

acid sea, on the planet Marinus stands a tower with many
secret entrances. Within the tower is Arbitan, Keeper of
the Conscience of Marinus, a vast computer developed
two millennia earlier as a vast justice machine which kept
law and order across the entire planet. For seven hundred
years, the Conscience was absolute, radiating its power
across the planet Marinus, and eliminating all thought of
evil. But then Yartek, leader of the alien Voord, worked
out how to resist its impulses.
Once the Brains realize Barbara has seen the truth and is
thus impervious to their hypnotic control, they order that
she be killed. Barbara escapes and hides in the city, there
making contact with the slave girl Sabetha, who has been
blamed for Barbaras awakening and sentenced to death.
Barbara deduces Sabetha is Arbitans missing daughter,
and sees Sabetha wears one of the Keys about her neck.
Barbara helps break Sabethas conditioning, and together
they escape and destroy the jars and equipment protecting
the Brains. With their life-support ruined, the Brains die,
and all the human subjects of the city are freed. Another
16
slave called Altos remembers he too was sent to Morphoton by Arbitan, and he and Sabetha decide to join the
Doctor and his friends on their quest. The six now split
up, with the Doctor going ahead to nd the nal key in
the City of Millennius, while the others attempt to nd
the second key in the next destination.
The next location for the ve searchers is a dangerous
screaming jungle, which has a particularly debilitating effect on the telepathic Susan. In the jungle is an ancient
temple overgrown with plants. Much of the ora is hostile and the travellers are relieved to nd the next Key
so easily, propped on the top of a statue in the temple.
However, this Key is a decoy and, when touched, activates ancient machinery that causes the statue to move.
Indeed, the whole location - jungle and temple - is a place
of danger and traps. When Barbara is caught in the statue
mechanism and disappears into the temple, Sabetha argues she may have possibly used her travel dial to move
on to the next location. Sabetha compares the Key Barbara found with her original and realizes the easily found
Key is actually a fake. While Ian remains at the temple
to search for the real Key, Altos, Sabetha and Susan go
to the next location to search for Barbara.
Ian activates the statue mechanism and is also taken into
the temple, where he nds Barbara again. Hiding in the
temple is an aged and dying scientist, Darrius, whom Ian
saves from an attack by a creeping vine. Very weak, the
old man explains the traps of the temple are to fool the
Voord, and that he too is a friend of Arbitan. Before dying, Darrius tells Ian and Barbara the Key is hidden in
D-E-3-O-2. The plants, mutated by a growth accelerator built by Darrius, become more and more aggressive.
The two friends only just manage to retrieve the Key from
an experiment jar before the vegetation overruns the temple.
Ian and Barbara now teleport to an icy wasteland where
they meet the duplicitous trapper Vasor, who steals their
Keys and sends Ian back into the wastelands where he
hopes Ian will be eaten by packs of wolves. In the wastes
Ian nds Altos, bound and abandoned, and works out Vasor is to blame. Ian and Altos return to the trappers hut
and confront him, forcing the wicked man to reveal the
stolen Keys in his possession and to take them to the ice
caves where he had earlier abandoned Sabetha and Susan. The two girls have meanwhile searched the icy caves
themselves and uncovered mechanized Ice Soldiers. The
travellers are soon reunited and nd the next Key frozen
in a block of ice. Their act in removing it revives the Ice
Soldiers, who begin a vicious rampage. They ee back to
the trappers cottage and retrieve their stolen dials, getting
ready to escape. Vasor takes Susan hostage and demands
that they stay. An Ice Soldier stabs him down from behind and they escape.
CHAPTER 1. SEASON 1
Key has now disappeared and Ian is accused of theft and
Eprins murder. The punishment will be death if he found
guilty before the court of Millennius. The other travellers
are reunited in advance of Ians trial, at which the Doctor
takes on the role of defence counsel. He succeeds in postponing the trial for two days while he gathers evidence
and uses this time to work out what really happened to
Eprin. He works out that the relief guard, Aydan, is implicated in the murder, but Aydan too is murdered during the course of the trial before he can reveal the truth
of the plot. Things take a turn for the worse when Susan
is kidnapped and used as a hostage to try and persuade
the Doctor not to investigate the crimes any further. The
kidnapper is Kala, Aydans widow, who is in league with
Eyesen, the Court Prosecutor, who has succeeded in persuading the Three Judges of Millennium to nd Ian guilty
of Eprins murder. Luckily, the others nd Susan bound
and gagged in Kalas house before Kala can kill her, like
she did to her own husband, and the plot is uncovered.
Tarron, the Chief Investigator of the City, is now also
persuaded of Kalas guilt but they must still uncover her
accomplice to prove Ian did not kill Eprin. The Doctor
helps unmask Eyesen and uncover the last Key, which had
been hidden in the murder weapon, and Ian is freed.
The travellers now return to Arbitans island using their
travel dials. Altos and Sabetha have travelled ahead with
all but the last Key in their possession. They do not know
the old Keeper is dead and that Yartek is now in charge,
clothed in Arbitans robes to maintain the ruse. Yartek
has seized the rst four Keys and holds Altos and Sabetha
prisoner while he awaits the fth and nal one. When the
Doctor and his three friends arrive they soon realize that
the Voord have taken control of the tower and the Conscience. The Doctor frees Sabetha and Altos and then unmasks the Voord. Ian too has played his part, and given
Yartek the false key from the Screaming Jungle. When
Yartek places the false Key in the Conscience, the machine explodes and he is killed along with the occupying
Voord. The Doctor and his friends ee the tower with
Altos and Sabetha before the growing blaze overtakes the
ancient structure.

This story was written to replace a dierent script, The
Hidden Planet, which was deemed problematic. Because
the replacement script had to be written quickly, it was
decided to base it around a series of largely self-contained
episodes, each with a dierent setting and cast, to make
it easier to write in a short time.

suggestions were not acted upon.
In retrospective reviews, The Keys of Marinus received

generally unfavorable reception. Radio Times reviewer
Patrick Mulkern wrote that standards slip appreciably
Home media
after the four preceding serials in terms of ambitious but
slapdash script quality and the below-par sets and supporting characters.[1] DVD Talk's J. Doyle Wallis gave
the serial a rating of two and a half stars out of ve, feeling that the weakness was attributed to the Doctors absence (deeming the two episodes Hartnell was absent for
as the weakest of the serial), the lack of a main antagonist
that would thread the episodes together, the lacking and
disparate world of Marinus and the ramshackle execution of the concept.[8] Arnold T. Blumburg of IGN gave
The Keys of Marinus a score of 4 out of 10, describing it
as a clichd premise ... handled poorly and with no spark
at all apart from Hartnells late-hour rally. He cited the
poor production quality and the hodge-podge leaps to
various locations on Marinus which were boring if not
inept.[9]
However, the story and its structure was met with some
positive reception. Graham Kibble-White in Doctor Who
Magazine derided Susans character for devolving into
a bit of a shrill but was generally positive towards the
episodic story structure and the timing of Hartnells holiday. Despite this, he wrote that the scripts of the nal
two episodes never truly engages with the tenets of courtroom drama.[10] A Den of Geek felt that the dierent locations structure works incredibly well by keeping the
momentum and making each episode fresh.[11]

1.6 The Aztecs

The Aztecs is the sixth serial in the British science ction
four weekly parts from 23 May to 13 June 1964. It was
written by John Lucarotti and directed by John Crockett.
The serial sees the mysterious time traveller the Doctor
(William Hartnell), his granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann
Ford), and teachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and
Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill) arrive in Mexico during the Aztec empire. Barbara becomes mistaken for the
goddess Yetaxa, and accepts the identity in hope of persuading the Aztecs to give up human sacrice. The Doctor warns her about changing history.
1.6.1 Plot
The TARDIS crew arrive in Mexico in the 15th Century. With the TARDIS trapped in a tomb, Barbara is
mistaken for a female reincarnation of the ancient high
priest Yetaxa, and assumes her guise and identity. From

following consumption of the poison would prove she is
not immortal and therefore not a god. But Ian silently
warns her from his hiding place, and Barbara refuses to
drink the poison. She tells Tlotoxl that she is not Yetaxa
but warns him not to tell the people. He now knows the
truth - but must nd a way to unmask the false goddess.
Cast notes
Susan and the Doctor have meanwhile both become involved in marriage-making scenarios. Susan has transgressed Aztec law by refusing to marry the Perfect Victim, who has been scheduled for sacrice by Tlotoxl on
the day of the next eclipse; while the Doctor, who knows
little of Aztec customs, has become accidentally engaged
to an Aztec woman named Cameca after they shared a
cup of cocoa. Cameca is a kind lady and helps the Doctor and Ian nd a way to re-enter the tomb by a secret entrance, despite realising that this will enable her beloved
to leave her. Ian braves a treacherous tunnel in which he
is almost drowned to re-enter the tomb by a secret door
and soon tells his friends that they can ee.
Despite her eorts Barbara realises that she cannot

change an entire culture, although she does succeed in
changing the views of one man; the High-Priest of Knowledge, Autloc. But this comes at a high price to Autloc,
who exiles himself. He helps her to reunite with her
friends before departing to meditate in the desert on what
remains of his faith. In a pitched battle to gain access to
the tomb door, Ian kills Ixta in a ght to the death to protect the TARDIS crew.
John Ringham later played Josiah Blake in The Smugglers

and Ashe in Colony in Space. Margot Van der Burgh later
portrayed Katura in The Keeper of Traken.
In 2008, Radio Times reviewer Mark Braxton called The

Aztecs one of the best Doctor Who adventures, highlighting Barbaras dilemma about changing history, the art direction, and the sense of impending tragedy. Despite
this, he did note minor issues like the backdrops and unconvincing ght scenes.[2] Christopher Bahn of The A.V.
Club described The Aztecs as a classical tragedy infused
with just enough hope toward the end to keep it from
being unbearably bleak and discussed the inability of
changing history and the Doctors only romantic entanglement in the classic series, which he called sweet and
funny.[8] Ian Berriman, writing for SFX, gave the serial
three and a half out of ve stars, describing it as Jacqueline Hills nest hour but the show is stolen by John
Ringham as Tlotoxl. Though mostly positive, Berriman
felt that some of the education content was forced and its
a shame that much of the dialogue is so fustily formal.[9]
In 2013 Digital Spy featured the story in an article on the
10 best Doctor Who stories of all time, praising the script,
performances and emotional impact of the serial. Morgan Jerey summed it up as 'quite simply 100 minutes of
sensational drama - its William Hartnells nest hour on
Doctor Who and one of the shows very best oerings.'[10]
The Doctor and his companions leave knowing that despite their intervention, history will take its pre-destined
course. As they depart Tlotoxl is very much in control
and sacrices the Perfect Victim to end the naturally occurring eclipse. The Doctor comforts Barbara by telling
her she did help Autloc nd a better belief system; and 1.6.4 Themes and analysis

1.7.1
Plot
The TARDIS travellers land on a moving spaceship and

nd the crew apparently dead. However, one of the crew
members, Captain Maitland, regains consciousness and
Ian Chesterton fully revives him and another woman,
Carol Richmond. These two tell the travellers that they
are on an exploration mission from Earth and are orbiting
Sense-Sphere. However, its inhabitants, the Sensorites,
refuse to let them leave the orbit. The Sensorites visit
and stop the travellers from leaving, while sending them
on a collision course, which the Doctor diverts. The travellers then meet John (whose mind has been broken by
the Sensorites) and nd out that he is Carols anc.
Returning to plague the crew, the Sensorites freeze Carol
and Maitland once more. The Doctor breaks Maitlands
mental conditioning, but cannot help John. Susan's telepathic mind is ooded with the many voices of the Sensorites who remain scared of the humans and are trying to communicate with her. Meanwhile, The Doctor
works out that the Sensorites attacked the human craft
because John, a mineralogist, had discovered a vast supply of molybdenum on Sense-Sphere. Susan reports that
the Sensorites want to make contact with travellers, asking the crew to go aboard Sense-sphere and reveal that a
previous Earth expedition caused them great misery. The
Doctor refuses but Susan, under duress, agrees and begins
to leave the ship.
The Doctor deduces that the Sensorites need plenty of
light, so Ian reduces the lighting on the ship, rendering the
Sensorites helpless and rescuing Susan. The Doctor then
asks the Sensorites to return his lock and is invited to go to
Sense-Sphere to speak with the leader. Susan, Ian, Carol
and John join him while Barbara and Maitland stay behind. John is promised that his condition will be reversed.
On their journey to Sense-Sphere, the party learn that the
previous visitors from Earth exploited Sense-Sphere for
its wealth, then argued. Half of them stole the spacecraft,
which exploded on take-o.
The Sensorite Council is divided over the issue of inviting
the party to Sense-Sphere: some of the councillors plot to
kill them on arrival, but some believe that the humans can
help with the disease that is currently killing many Sensorites. Their rst plot is foiled by the other Sensorites,
but they continue to plot in secret. The humans are not
told of the rst plot, and John and Carol are cured. In the
main conference room, Ian starts coughing violently and
collapses. Suering from the disease that has blighted
the Sensorites, he is told that he will soon die.
21
Meanwhile, investigating the aqueduct, the Doctor nds
strange noises and darkness. He nds and removes deadly
nightshade (the cause of the poisoning), but on going
back, meets an unseen monster. Susan and Ian nd him
unconscious with a ripped coat, but otherwise unharmed.
On being recovered, he tells of his suspicion that some
Sensorites are plotting to kill them. The plotting Sensorites kill the Second Elder and one of them replaces
him in his position.
John tells the others that he knows the lead plotter, but
he is now too powerful, so the Doctor and Ian go down
to the aqueduct to nd the poisoners. Their weapons and
map were tampered with and are useless.
Elsewhere, a mysterious assailant abducts Carol and
forces her to write saying she has left for the ship. Neither
Susan, John or Barbara believe this so they go to investigate and nd her imprisoned. Susan, John and Barbara
overpower the guard and release Carol. On nding out
about the tampered tools, they go into the aqueduct to
rescue the Doctor and Ian. The leader discovers the plotters a little while later.
Ian and the Doctor discover that the monsters were actually the survivors of the previous Earth mission, and they
had been poisoning the Sensorites. Their deranged Commander leads them to the surface, where they are arrested
by the Sensorites. The Doctor and his party return to the
city, pleading clemency for the poisoners. The leader of
the Sensorites agrees and sends them back with Maitland,
John and Carol to Earth, for treatment for madness.
Continuity
In the opening scene of episode 1, the characters relate
back the adventures they've had since joining the Doctor.
It all started out as a mild curiosity in a junk yard[1] and

The Daleks, Marco Polo, Marinus (The Keys of Marinus),
and The Aztecs". Susans description of her home planet
as having a burnt orange sky and silver leaved trees in
episode 6 is echoed by a similar description of the planet
by the Tenth Doctor to Martha Jones in "Gridlock". It
also bears similarities to the description given by the
Eighth Doctor to Grace in the 1996 telemovie.
The Doctor refers to himself as human in episode 2.[2]

has an extraordinary number of ultra-high frequencies,

so I won't be able to go on using thought transference.
However, the Doctor says that she has a gift and when we
get home to our own place, I think we should try to perfect it. Later stories and the spin-o media have more explicitly claried that Time Lords have limited telepathic
abilities. Susans experiences here carry over into the Big
Finish Productions audio story Transit of Venus. It takes
place directly after this story, despite the fact that the ending of The Sensorites seems to lead directly into The Reign
of Terror. However, this inconsistency is explained in the
audio play.
IGN's Arnold T. Blumburg gave the serial a score of 7

out of 10, writing that the story builds some nice suspense in the rst two episodes and features some great set
design and lighting, as well as a willingness to fall almost
entirely silent and let the slow burn roll and that later
on, the Sensorites were rather appropriately portrayed
in shades of gray instead of black and white monsters
like the Daleks.[11] Nick Setcheld of SFX gave The Sensorites three out of ve stars, feeling that the story was
ambitious and the slow pace actually works in episode
ones favour, though the Sensorites chill-factor was
gone after the rst episode.[12] DVD Talk's John Sinnott
also gave the serial a score of three out of ve stars, writing that the story structure was well constructed with
impressive set design and an expanded role for Susan.
However, he felt that the story was not remembered that
fondly because there was nothing special about the aliens
or the situation.[13]
In the Doctor Who Condential episode You've Got the

Look (released to accompany "The Impossible Planet"),
Russell T Davies said that he wanted the Ood to resemble
the Sensorites, and that he likes to think they come from a
planet near the Sense-Sphere. This was later conrmed in
the Tenth Doctor episode "Planet of the Ood", in which
the Doctor visits the Oods homeworld (the Ood-Sphere)
and mentions that he once visited the Sense-Sphere in the 1.7.4

The Reign of Terror is the partly missing eighth serial in
which was rst broadcast in six weekly parts from 8 August to 12 September 1964. The story was set in France
during the period of the French Revolution known as the
Reign of Terror. It is the second now-incomplete Doctor Who serial to be released with full-length animated
reconstructions of its two missing episodes.
1.8.1 Plot
The Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Susan arrive in 18thcentury France, in a wood outside Paris, and venture
to a nearby farmhouse. They nd that the farmhouse
is being used as a staging post in an escape chain for
counter-revolutionaries and contains clothes and fake papers, some of which bear the signature of Robespierre,
the chief orchestrator of government during the Reign
of Terror. They are soon discovered by two counterrevolutionaries, D'Argenson and Rouvray, who knock the
Doctor unconscious and hold the others at gunpoint. A
band of revolutionary soldiers surrounds the house and
demands their surrender. Both D'Argenson and Rouvray are killed during the siege, but only after they have
worked out that there must be a traitor in their escape
chain. The soldiers enter the house and capture Ian, Barbara, and Susan, and march them to Paris to be guillotined. The soldiers set re to the farmhouse unaware

fails to happen he will deny this meeting ever took place.
The Doctor reaches Paris and exchanges his clothes for
those of a Regional Ocer of the Provinces. He heads
for the Conciergerie, but nds his companions have gone.
Ian has successfully stolen the key to his cell and managed
to get away. Lemaitre arrives and insists the Doctor accompany him to visit First Deputy Robespierre to report
on his province. They are taken to an audience with The
Tyrant of France. Little the Doctor can say to the contrary seems to have any sway, and he departs angrily.
The following day Stirling arranges Susans release from

prison. The coup against Robespierre has begun and the
tyrant has been badly wounded before being seized himself and sent to the Conciergerie. The escape chain smuggles them out of Paris. Stirling heads for Calais and England; Jules and Jean will lie low as they measure the future; and the Doctor and his companions are keen to return to the TARDIS in the wood near Paris.
Ian follows Websters words and hunts out Jules Renan,

who turns out to be the man sheltering Barbara and Susan,
who remains ill in bed. Barbara takes Susan to a local
physician who reports them as escaped prisoners and they
are seized once more by the revolutionary police. Ian goes
to meet Leon only to nd he is the mole in the escape
chain and there are armed troops waiting for him. Leon
Colbert is desperate to nd out what Webster said to him,
but Ian is very guarded in his comments.
1.8.2 Production
The Doctor has returned to the Conciergerie, where

Lemaitre reports that Robespierre wishes to see him again
the following day. Lemaitre ensures that the Doctor
spends the night in the Conciergerie in order that he remain in Paris for his second audience with Robespierre.
He is still there when Barbara and Susan are brought in
as prisoners. With Susan too weak to be moved, he engineers Barbaras release on the pretext that she can be
trailed to lead the security forces to the core of the escape chain.
Jules Renan has rescued Ian, killing the traitor Leon Colbert in the process. They return to Jules house and are
stunned to meet Barbara there, released on the authority
of the Doctor.
Robespierres mental state is deteriorating and he suspects that his deputy, Paul Barras, is conspiring against
him in the Convention. He asks Lemaitre to track Barras the following day to a secret assignation outside the
city. When Lemaitre heads back to the Conciergerie it is
to confront the Doctor, whom he unmasks in private as
an impostor. Lemaitre insists that the Doctor help him
nd Jules Renans house and expose the spy ring. With
Susan held in the prison as a hostage, the Doctor takes

In a number of 1970s listing guides, the story was called

The French Revolution. This appears to derive from a
promotional article in the BBC listings magazine Radio
Times entitled Dr Who and the French Revolution.
Hungarian director Henric Hirsch, inexperienced in
working for television, had diculty coping with the
cramped Lime Grove studios, out-of-order shooting sequences and William Hartnells lack of respect for him.
As a result, he collapsed during shooting of the third
episode. As producer Verity Lambert and production
assistant Tim Combe both felt unable to run a studio,
a short term replacement for Hirsch was found; Combe
believes this to have been John Gorrie, who previously
directed The Keys of Marinus, or possibly associate producer Mervyn Pineld. No additional director is credited on-screen. Hirsch recovered in time for the lming
of episode four, with his troubles eased by the production
moving to Television Centre, Combe taking on some of
the directors duties and Hartnell being more considerate
of his manner towards the director.[1]
William Russell was on holiday during lming for
episodes two and three, and appears in pre-lmed inserts
only. Further lmed inserts in episode two feature long
shots of the Doctor walking across countryside towards
Paris. Brian Proudfoot doubles for the Doctor in these
scenes,[2] which marked the rst ever location lming for
Doctor Who.[3]
Cast notes
Edward Brayshaw later featured in The War Games as the
War Chief. Roy Herrick later provided one of the voices
of Xoanon in The Face of Evil and appeared as Parsons
in The Invisible Enemy. Ronald Pickup appeared in the
audio play Time Works as Kestorian and Spaceport Fear
as Elder Bones.

review of the serial, despite noting an initial dislike for
it. He wrote positively of the humour and Hartnells increased role, but felt that Susan was at her weakest.[8]

Christopher Bahn gave the serial a negative review stating that after a compelling beginning it " falls victim instead to the number one problem of all mediocre Who
serials, stretching too little story over too many episodes,
and worse, it keeps retreading the same basic plot of having the characters captured, thrown into the Conciergerie
Prison, rescued, recaptured, then escape and be recaptured again.[10]

An early draft of this story by C.E. Webber and entitled

The Giants was originally meant to be the rst story of
the rst season.[2] Planet of Giants was recorded in the
production block it was decided to hold it for transmission as the start of season 2.[3] This story was originally
four episodes in length. Upon viewing Episodes 3 and 4,
which focused more heavily on Hilda and Bert, Head of
Serials Donald Wilson ordered them spliced together in
order to form a faster-paced climax (Episode 3) focusing on the core characters of the series.[4] Episode 4 was
called The Urge to Live and directed by Douglas Cameld (instead of Mervyn Pineld, who directed Episodes
1-3). When Episodes 3 and 4 were edited together to
make the new Episode 3, only Cameld was credited.
inal third and fourth episodes into one hurt the story more
than it helped. Bahn felt that the script is constantly undercutting its own dramatic potential in subtle but pervasive ways, such as when the characters tried calling the
police on a telephone, and the plot-dragger of Barbara
keeping her illness a secret. However, he praised set design and acting of Hill and Tilvern.[12]

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Ian stumble across bodies

wearing strange metal helmets and soon nd an army of
them and Daleks rising from the River Thames. The
Daleks take the Doctor and Ian, along with captured
resistance members including Jack Craddock, onboard
their saucer, where they convert attempted escapees into
Robomen. Ian doesn't understand why the Daleks still
exist since the travelers defeated them on Skaro (in The
Daleks) but the Doctor reminds him that was far in the
future. Sensing that the Doctor is highly intelligent, the
Daleks leave a device in the cell with the prisoners which
the Doctor solves, enabling them to escape. However,
the Daleks are laying in wait and recapture them, drugging the Doctor and sending him to be converted into
a Roboman. But the Doctors transfer operation breaks
down while Susan, Barbara and the resistance team attack
the Dalek force using the explosives created by Dortmun.
But the bombs are ineective against the Daleks, and several resistance members are injured or killed. David and
Susan are able to rescue the Doctor, still drugged, while
Barbara gets separated from them and is able to return to
the Underground with Jenny to report back to Dortmun.
Ian is unable to escape the saucer; he and Larry hide beneath a oor grating as the Daleks and saucer leave for
the Dalek mining operations in Bedfordshire.

Before leaving London the Daleks give orders to the
Robomen to set rebombs to destroy the city. Hiding
from the Robomen near to the TARDIS, David, Susan
and the Doctor see the Robomen set up a bomb and leave.
The Doctor, still too weak from being drugged, collapses,
and David uses some quick thinking to disarm the bomb.
He and Susan try to nd an escape route through the sewers while the Doctor rests, and they are found by Tyler.
After collecting the Doctor, who is starting to feel better, they avoid alligators and Robomen in the sewers as
they escape the city and head for the mining operation.
As they travel, David and Susan start falling in love, but
keep it a secret from the others. Meanwhile, Dortmun,
Jenny and Barbara make their way to an abandoned museum also used by the resistance as a hideout, which is
deserted. Dortmun, after leaving his notebook for Barbara to nd, exits the hideout and confronts the Daleks,
sacricing himself so that the woman have a chance to escape. They get an old truck working and crash their way
through the Daleks, heading for the mining operations as
Barbara is convinced thats where the Doctor would go.
They make it most of the way there before the truck is
destroyed by a Dalek saucer.
At the mine, Ian and Larry escape the saucer and meet
workers named Wells and Ashton; the latter is killed by
an aggressive creature called a Slyther, a pet of the Black
Dalek. The predator then falls from a suspended mine
cart that Ian and Larry use to try to get away from it,
down a mineshaft to its death. The Daleks subsequently
send the mine cart down the shaft before Ian and Larry
can climb out and they are plummeted down in the cart
to the mine operations far underground. The Doctor and
his party arrive at the clis overlooking the mine, and
he sends David and Susan on a mission to the far side
of the clis to interfere with the radio signals the Daleks
use to keep in communication with each other and the
Robomen. The Doctor and Tyler begin climbing down
into the mine. Barbara and Jenny nd a hovel and, seeking shelter, meet two ragged women who are allowed to
live on their own because they make clothing for the human slaves at the mine. These women pretend to befriend
Barbara and Jenny before reporting them to the Daleks
in return for food. The Daleks collect Barbara and Jenny
and send them to work in the mine.

tumbles halfway down the shaft, stopping at a small access node. Leaving by the node he jams a cord of wood
across the shaft opening, preventing a re-armed explosive capsule from moving further down the shaft. While
Barbara creates a diversion spinning a wild story about an
uprising involving the Boston Tea Party, General Lees
forces and Hannibal attacking from the Alps, Jenny
tries to corrupt the machine which contols the Robomen
and send them new orders. The Daleks catch them and,
after rearming the capsule and launching it, trap the two
in the control room to be killed in the explosion. The
Doctor and Tyler, hiding outside the control room, enter when the Daleks leave and free Barbara and Jenny.
Using the Daleks scanners they nd David and Susan,
who destroy the radio beacon, leaving the Robomen adrift
and causing a temporary overload within the Daleks, who

the Robomen to destroy the Daleks, and with the help
of the Robomen, Wells and Tyler lead the human slaves
in rebellion, destroying the inert Daleks and escaping the
mine. Ian reunites with his friends, and before the capsule explodes they all escape back up the clis to rejoin
Susan and David. The bomb destroys the Dalek eet and
causes an entirely new phenomenon a volcanic eruption in England.
Back in London, Wells and Tyler help shift the girders
away from the TARDIS, and the travelers get ready to
leave. Susan has worn a hole in her shoe and the Doctor
talks of mending it for her but seems preoccupied and
sad. Susan is also awkward and after the Doctor goes
back into the ship, she and David walk a short distance
away. Declaring his love for her, David begs Susan to
stay and marry him, saying he will give her a place to
belong and a rooted identity, which earlier she told him
she wanted to have someday. Susan agonizes and protests
that David is making her choose between him and her
grandfather. Tearfully she says she must leave, but admits
that she loves him. Suddenly the TARDIS doors slam
shut, and the Doctor, with Ian and Barbara at his side, bids
Susan an emotional farewell, telling her that although they
have always taken care of each other up until now, she is
a grown woman and deserves a normal life with David.
He promises to return one day, and sets the TARDIS in
motion. The blue box disappears, and Susan, stunned,
steps where it had been. David says that the Doctor must
have known she wouldn't leave him, and so chose to leave
her. Taking Davids hand, Susan walks away with him,
intentionally leaving her TARDIS key behind.

Before he can get to her, however, he ends up hiding and
being trapped in a capsule lled with explosives. Barbara uses Dortmuns notebook to blu the Daleks into
believing she has information about an imminent uprsing and demands to speak with the Black Dalek. When
she and Jenny are brought before it, they discover that the

posed Daleks in London for the 1973 series was eventually scrapped for bearing too many similarities to this
story. The Big Finish Productions audio drama The Mutant Phase is partly set on Earth in the year 2158, when
the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa encounter invading Daleks in
a rapeseed eld in Kansas. The plan to extract the Earths
core and the mine works in Bedfordshire are mentioned,
implying that the two stories are involved with the same
invasion. The date of 2158 agrees with the above reasoning about the invasion having started in approximately
2157.
Dortmun calls the material the Dalek casings are made
of 'Dalekanium'. In the alternative future of Day of the
Daleks (and the PC computer game Destiny of the Doctors), Dalekanium is an unstable explosive that can penetrate Dalek casings. In "Daleks in Manhattan", Dalekanium is conrmed by the Daleks themselves to be the substance which Dalek casings are made from.
The Virgin New Adventures novel GodEngine by Craig
Hinton oers an alternative explanation for the Daleks
attempt to remove the Earths core: an ancient Osirian
weapon, capable of turning a star into a giant plasma
cannon, which can be operated only on a planet without a bipolar magnetic eld. GodEngine suggests that the
Daleks were working with a rogue group of Ice Warriors
to assemble this weapon, and planned to install it on the
Earth. The novel also states that the Doctor returned to
recover Susans discarded TARDIS key. The same plot
device was also used in the cinema lm Daleks Invasion
Earth: 2150 A.D.
Footage of William Hartnell as the First Doctor from the
nal scenes of this serial was subsequently used as a pretitles sequence for the 1983 special The Five Doctors. Carole Ann Ford reprised her role as Susan in the 1983 20th
Anniversary television Special The Five Doctors, although
no mention was made of David or her life after the Doctor had left her, this plotline was covered in the novel of
the story written by Terrance Dicks. Some of this was
further explored in the spin-o BBC Books novel Legacy
of the Daleks by John Peel. Fords departure was the rst
of what would be many cast changes in the history of the
programme. The Doctor nally properly visits his granddaughter in the 2009 audio story An Earthly Child starring Carole Ann Ford as Susan and Paul McGann as the
Eighth Doctor. This story also introduces the Doctors

Alternative titles
Working titles for this story included The Daleks, The Return of the Daleks and The Invaders. The story has at
times been called Worlds End, most notably in the frontispiece of its novelisation. This is the title of the rst
episode and was applied to the story as a whole by the
1973 Radio Times 10th anniversary special and several
lists that copied it. The story begins in the real Worlds

Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping wrote of

the serial in The Discontinuity Guide (1995), There are
some wonderful exterior sequences, with giddy scenes of
Daleks on Westminster Bridge and in Trafalgar Square
(they've added lettering of their own to various monuments). The only thing that lets down the vast production values is the Slyther...Obvious Dan Dare stu, but
done with such hallucinatory conviction that the end result is very impressive.[9] In The Television Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker
said that the story surely ranks as one of the series alltime greats, with impressive scripting and location lming despite some clumsy direction. They also praised
the poignant and moving nal scene.[10] In 2008, Mark
Braxton of Radio Times noted the continuity errors concerning the Daleks but praised the supporting cast, location lming, and emotional ending. However, he pointed
out that the ambition had consequences in the form
of production shortcomings.[11] The A.V. Club reviewer
Christopher Bahn wrote that the serial had not aged well
at all because it was frequently slow-paced and suers
badly from his penchant for deliberately running out the
clock by throwing in long, meandering subplots. He felt
that Nation was not interested in the Daleks as characters and the Robomen were more interesting conceptually than in execution, and that the dramatic impact
of Susans departure was wasted because the Doctor
chose for her. Despite that, he called the rst episode and
clihanger excellent and noted how the serials characterisation of the Doctor was echoed through the his-

The Rescue was produced in a six-episode block with The

Romans and was the rst story produced in Doctor Who 's
second production block. Rehearsals and recording took
place from 30 November to 11 December 1964, entirely
in-studio. The two episodes were watched by 12 and
13 million viewers in the UK respectively and have received generally positive reviews from critics, who praise
the character-based storytelling, although plot holes were
noted. Both episodes of The Rescue have been retained
in the BBC archives, and the story has been novelised and
released on VHS and DVD. The serial is notable as the
rst appearance of Maureen O'Brien as companion Vicki.

planet the Doctor eventually recognises as Dido, a world

he has visited before. The trio soon encounter two survivors of a space crash, Vicki and Bennett, who are awaiting a rescue ship that is due to arrive in three days time.
Vicki and Bennett live in fear of Koquillion, a bipedal inhabitant of Dido, who is stalking the area. Koquillion encounters the time travellers and attacks, pushing Barbara
over a cli and temporarily trapping Ian and the Doctor. Vicki nds Barbara injured and rescues her from
Koquillion, and they share reminiscences. Vickis father
was amongst those who died when the survivors of the
crash, save Bennett and Vicki, were lured to their deaths
by the natives of Dido. She is evidently very lonely, having befriended an indigenous Sand Beast for company.
However, when Ian and the Doctor reach the ship, tempers are fraught because Barbara mistook the Sand Beast
for a threat and killed it.
The Doctor enters Bennetts room, and nds things are
not as they seem. The supposedly crippled Bennett is
missing, and a tape recorder hides his absence. He nds
a trap door in the oor of the cabin and follows it to a
temple carved from rock where he unmasks Koquillion
as Bennett. Bennett reveals he killed a crewmember on
board the ship and was arrested, but the ship crashed before the crime could be radioed to Earth. It was he who
killed the crash survivors and the natives of Dido to cover
his crime. He has been using the Koquillion alias so that
Vicki would back up his story, and had hoped the planet
would be destroyed when his version of events was given.
Just as Bennett is about to kill the Doctor, two surviving native Didonians arrive and force Bennett to his death
over a ledge. They then stop the signal to prevent the Rescue Ship reaching their planet. With no living family and
nothing left for her on Dido, Vicki is welcomed aboard
the TARDIS.
2.3.2
Production
The Rescue was written as a short vehicle to introduce

Vicki as the new companion, replacing Carole Ann Ford
(Susan) when Ford decided she wanted to leave the series,
and is thus more character-driven than anything that had
preceded it.[2] Vicki was a replacement for the Doctors
granddaughter, Susan (Carole Ann Ford), who was the
rst companion to leave Doctor Who; Ford was displeased
with the lack of her characters development.[2] In contrast to Susan, Vicki is an Earth orphan from the future;
the production team considered many names from here,
some of them odd like Lukki and Tanni.[1][2] Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman told actress Maureen
O'Brien that they were considering having her cut her hair
and dye it black. O'Brien refused, saying, Why don't you
just get Carole Ann Ford back?"[2]
credited.[1] The story was commissioned on 1 November 1964, the day after his contract with the BBC for his
position as script editor had expired.[1] The scripts were
due on 10 November. In Whitakers original draft, entitled Doctor Who and Tanni after one of Vickis original names, there are a few dierences from the broadcast
version. Bennett was more unkind to Vicki. Notably, Koquillion had a torch device, which he used to paralyse
Ian upon meeting and interrogating him and Barbara in
the rst episode. He hypnotised Ian and Barbara and tried
to get them to encourage the Doctor to come out of the
TARDIS, but the Doctor could see this on the TARDIS'
scanner and demands the teachers be released. In a scufe Ians trance was broken when he was shoved against the
TARDIS and Barbaras was broken when she was thrown
to the ground.[1] The beginning of the rst episode also
had Ian conde to Barbara that he was afraid of a time
where the Doctor would close the TARDIS on them and
leave like he did with Susan, to which the Doctor, overhearing, replied that there would be warning if they were
to part.[1]
O'Brien had just come out of drama school when she was
cast as Vicki;[2] it was her rst television acting job.[3] Director Christopher Barry originally wanted Bernard Archard for the role of Bennett/Koquillion, but was not able
to get him. Barry would later cast Archard in The Power
of the Daleks (1966).[1] The role went to Australian actor
Ray Barrett, whom Barry had seen on TV and marked
in his book of actors he wanted to remember, and so he
dug him out of the book when the time came.[2] Barrett played Bennett as a normal, straight human being
so as not to give the ending away.[2] To preserve the mystery, Koquillion was credited in the rst episode as being
played by Sydney Wilson a name made up by the
production team in tribute to two of the creators of Doctor Who, Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson. This was
the rst instance of an alias being used in the credits in
order to conceal a plot twist in Doctor Who; the practice
would be employed later on to conceal the appearance
of villains Davros and the Master.[4] Tom Sheridan provided the voice of the space captain and also played the
Sand Beast. He was originally scheduled to play one of
the Didonians at the end, but for unknown reasons they
were played by two uncredited extras, John Stuart and
Colin Hughes.[1]
The Rescue was the rst in a new production block of Doctor Who; the rst production block lasted for 52 weeks
with one episode lmed per week, though the nal two
stories, Planet of Giants and The Dalek Invasion of Earth,
were held back and the rst season ended early. As such,
there was a six-week break for the regular cast before
work on The Rescue began.[1] The Rescue used the same
production team as the following story, The Romans, and
the two were combined to form a single six-episode proThe Rescue is the rst story under Dennis Spooner as duction block.[2] Model lming took place in Ealing stuscript editor, though he is not listed in the credits be- dios on 16 November 1965.[1][5] The models were made

were not designers, Doctor Who designer Raymond Cusick drew what he wanted the spacecraft to look like in
more detail than he normally would have. He drew the
spacecraft in ight as well as it wrecked so they could
visualise it from the two.[2] Cusick had found a cheap
material he called reeded hardboard, which was spraypainted silver and used for the outside of the craft prop.[2]
The design of Koquillion was based on a close-up of a
y.[1]
Rehearsals for the rst episode took place from 30
November 1964 to 3 December, with the episode
recorded on 4 December. Ford visited during rehearsals
to meet O'Brien and wish her luck.[1] Rehearsals for the
second episode took place from 710 December 1964,
with the episode recorded on 11 December.[1] Recording of the rst episode overran its schedule by fteen
minutes.[1] The Dido temple was a large set that was lit
in such a way to create a dark atmosphere; dark drapes
and smoke were also used.[2] When shooting Vickis Sand
Beast, Jacqueline Hill underestimated the guns power
and red too soon; she was not seriously injured, though
suered shock and a sore face because it blew back in
her face.[2][6] The sound the Sand Beast makes while dying was modelled after the horrible noise a dying Dalek
made in The Daleks. To save money, the score is reused
from The Daleks, which Barry had partially directed. He
selected pieces from episodes one and four through seven
of that serial.[1]
2.3.3
The Rescue was broadcast on BBC1 in two weekly parts;

the rst episode aired on 2 January 1965, with the second on 9 January. The rst episode, The Powerful Enemy, was watched by 12 million viewers and was the
eleventh most-watched programme of the week. The second episode, Desperate Measures, was watched by 13
million viewers and was the eighth most-watched programme of the week.[1] This gure was higher than the
preceding story, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, which was
an event story.[2] Audience Appreciation Indexes were
taken for both episodes and garnered 57 and 59 per cent
respectively.[9]

of the series history. While they noted there were some
unexplained parts of the plot, they felt that it was generally believable and said that Vicki actually steals the
show here.[10] In 2008, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times
described The Rescue as a neglected gem with a strong
debut for Vicki and many production improvements. Despite this, he wondered how convincing Bennetts masquerade as Koquillion was in 1965 as in the present day it
seems a tad obvious.[5] DVD Talk's Stuart Galbraith felt
that the story was quite strong with a smart, if somewhat predictable climax and resolution that worked due
to the dialogue.[11] Den of Geek wrote that the serial was
only let down by its weak and convenient resolution and
provided good material for the main cast.[12] Dreamwatch
gave The Rescue a score of 7 out of 10, calling it a solid
enough adventure with a slight plot but brisk pacing that
allowed Ian and Barbara to be more heroic.[13]

In print
A novelisation of this serial written by Ian Marter was
published by Target Books in August 1987. Marter died
soon after completing the manuscript. It was subsequently edited and published, with some new material
added, by Nigel Robinson, editor of the Target Books
line.[14] An unabridged audio reading of the novlisation,
read by O'Brien, was released by AudioGo on 1 April
2013.[15]

spearhead. They free her of the trance by removing her
bracelet, and then debate what to do with her. Barbara escapes; however, she is immediately captured by the Zarbi
and brainwashed through the use of a gold neck-harness.
The Zarbi take her back to the Menoptra, killing one and
capturing another, whilst the third escapes. The Zarbi
take Barbara and a Menoptra called Hrostar to the Crater
of Needles, where they are forced to gather vegetation
and drop it into rivers of acid, thereby feeding the central
force of the Zarbi, called the Animus.

Meanwhile, the Doctor works out that the Animus uses
gold as a conductor to channel a mesmerising force. He
counteracts this force and then uses the hidden power of
his ring to control one of the Zarbi. The Doctor escapes
with Vicki and his captive Zarbi, and meets up with Barbara and the Menoptra. They all devise a plan to attack
the Carsinome, with the Menoptra acting as a diversionary force whilst the Doctor and Vicki try to reach the Animus with the Isop-tope device, a living-cell destructor.
The Doctor and Vicki make their way back to the Carsinome, where they are taken to the centre to see the Animus, a great spider-like creature. Here they are mesmerised and made helpless by the Animus. Meanwhile,
Barbara and the Menoptra attack the Carsinome from the
outside, using the Doctors ring to control a Larvae Gun,
the Zarbis living weapon. At the same time, Ian, Vrestin
and the Optera try to dig their way to the Animus from
below. They all make it to the centre and to the Animus
where, with a singular act of willpower, Barbara manages
to use the Isop-tope device on the Animus, destroying it.
The Doctor and Ian, having discovered the theft of the

TARDIS and a trail leading away, begin tracking it. They
are captured by the Zarbi and are taken to the Carsinome, where they nd Vicki and the TARDIS. There
they indirectly meet the Animus, who talks to the Doctor
through what appears to be a mental communications device. The Animus forces the Doctor to help it track down

This serial marked the television debut of Martin Jarvis.

He later appeared as Butler in Invasion of the Dinosaurs

Production
Missing episodes
Copies of the four episodes were believed lost in the mass
junking of episodes in the 1970s, with BBC Enterprises
junking their copies. The BBC Film Library retained a
copy of The Wheel of Fortune[1] that it had accidentally acquired, but a copy of The Lion had been junked
from the library by 1972. In 1999, a lm copy of The
Lion was discovered by Neil Lambess and Paul Scoones
in the collection of Bruce Grenville, a lm collector in
New Zealand; the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation had acquired the story in 1960s, but did not transmit
it. The story had been thought to be one of the very few
for which no o-air soundtrack was known to exist, until
copies were located in 1995.
The rst episode of the subsequent story, The Space Museum, begins with a brief clip of the nale of Episode
4, The Warlords, where the time-travellers stand in period costume round the TARDIS console, literally frozen
in time (it is conrmed as a clip rather than a restaged
scene by an o-camera cough on the soundtracks to both
The Warlords and The Space Museum). This is the only
known surviving footage from the nal episode.
Cast notes

portrayed as calculating but compassionate, while King

Richard I is portrayed as volatile and at times childish.
A dierent version of the nal episode of the previous story The Web Planet featured a caption with Next
Week: The Space Museum instead of Next Week: The
Lion. This alternative end tag was on the version of The
Web Planet recovered from Nigeria.[7]
In 2008, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times wrote that The
Crusade was arguably the rst story where every aspect
of the production works to perfection. He praised the
way the TARDIS crew was broken up - allowing them
to see both sides of the Crusades - and the classy guest
cast, where Walter Randalls El Akir is the most sinister
character in the series to date.[3]

In print
This serial was the third and nal story to be novelised by
Frederick Muller publishers. Written by David Whitaker
as Doctor Who and the Crusaders, it was rst published
in 1966[8] and was the last novelisation published until
1973 when Target Books launched its long-running line
of episode adaptations, beginning with reprints of this
and the preceding two novels. There have been French,
Dutch and Portuguese editions.
As with Whitakers rst novelisation, the story is converted into a stand-alone novel with a lengthy prologue in
the TARDIS where the travellers discuss the paradoxes
of their journeys and time travel. The pointlessness of a
religious war is also emphasised more.
In episode 3, William Russell appears only in a pre-lmed

insert as he was on holiday.[2] Julian Glover was cast by
Douglas Cameld to play King Richard I. Glover would
return to Doctor Who to play Scaroth in City of Death.
Jean Marsh, who played Princess Joanna, would play Sara
Kingdom in The Daleks Master Plan and Morgaine in
Battleeld. Marsh was married to Third Doctor actor Jon
Pertwee from 1955 to 1960.
Once again, Whitaker plays up the romantic potential

of Ian and Barbara and includes a graphic passage of
Barbara being scourged. For some reason the name of
Susans husband has changed from David Campbell to
David Cameron.
Bernard Kay had appeared in The Dalek Invasion of

Earth.[3] He would later appear in two more serials, The
Faceless Ones and Colony in Space. Roger Avon later
played Daxtar in The Daleks Master Plan. Tony Caunter
later played Morgan in Colony in Space and Jackson in
Enlightenment. Tutte Lemkow previously played Kuiju
in Marco Polo and would appear again as Cyclops in The
Myth Makers. Gbor Baraker had also appeared in Marco
Polo (as Wang-Lo).
The script of this serial, edited by John McElroy and titled

The Crusade, was published by Titan Books in November
1994. It was the tenth in that publishers series of Doctor
Who script books, following Galaxy 4. At the time that
the book was prepared, the BBC archives held only one
episode of The Crusade on video (The Wheel of Fortune)
and no audio recordings.[9]

2.7 The Space Museum

Space Museum redirects here. For the museum in
Hong Kong, see Hong Kong Space Museum.
The Space Museum is the seventh serial of the second season in the British science ction television series
Doctor Who, which was rst broadcast in four weekly
parts from 24 April to 15 May 1965. The story is set on
the planet Xeros, a subjugated planet in the Morok Empire, now home to a vast museum and a young, rebellious
population.

CHAPTER 2. SEASON 2
The head of the Moroks, Lobos, is a bored and desperate museum administrator and colony governor, who reects sourly that the glories of the Morok Empire are past.
Like Rome, the Empire became decadent and then declined. The Moroks have found the TARDIS and now
start tracking down the occupants who have, as usual, become separated. The Doctor is the rst to be found, but
evades their interrogation tactics.
Meanwhile, Vicki has made contact with the Xerons and,
hearing of their enslavement, aids them in their plans to
stage a revolution. They attack the Morok armoury and
Vicki outwits its controlling computer. With their new
weapons, the Xerons are able to begin a revolution, which
slowly takes hold.
Ian has meanwhile freed the Doctor from Lobos, who had
begun the process of freezing him and turning him into
an exhibit. Ian and the Doctor are quickly recaptured by
the Morok guards, and Barbara and Vicki are captured
shortly thereafter. With all four held prisoner in the Museum, it looks like the time track prediction of their future
as museum exhibits will soon be realised after all.
Help comes from the Xeron revolutionaries, who kill Lobos and the other Morok captors. The Xerons then go
about destroying the hated Museum as the TARDIS crew
slips away. They take with them a time/space visualiser as
a souvenir. On the planet Skaro, their departure is noted
by the Daleks.
many implausibilities. However, he felt that the serial

showcased Vickis vibrant character and the Dalek joke
was one of the few elements that make this rather tedious traipse memorable.[4] Reviewing the DVD release, SFX 's Nick Setcheld described The Space Museum as oering a killingly dull environment in which
to stage an unengaging take on Who's eternal 'rebels vs
despots formula, despite the lovely fourth-dimensional
weirdness of the rst episode and the refreshing Moroks who were reminiscent of Douglas Adams' work.[5]
Jonathan Wilkins of Dreamwatch also called the rst
episode great and the rest dull, bog-standard Who"
which were not terrible but ... not terribly exciting either, as it plods rather than races towards a deeply unsatisfactory climax.[6]
Graham Kibble-White, writing for Doctor Who Magazine, said that the rst episode falsely set the audience up
for three more weeks of high-concept plotting, when
in fact the Doctor dismissed the time travel problems
and the rest was dreary except for some of Hartnells
charm.[7] DVD Talk's John Sinnott was more positive towards the story, writing, there were a lot of great plot
points that served to keep viewers guessing, and some
subtle comedy that really added a lot to the whole show.
He also complemented the light touches of humour.[8] In
2010, io9's Charlie Jane Anders listed the clihanger of
the rst episode as among the best in the programme.[9]

The clip of The Beatles singing "Ticket to Ride" is from

was junked, along with many complete episodes of Top

BBCs archive purge, and as a consequence the short extract of Ticket to Ride remains the only footage of The

2.9 The Time Meddler

The Time Meddler is the ninth and nal serial of the second season in the British science ction television series
Doctor Who, which was rst broadcast in four weekly
parts from 3 July to 24 July 1965. The story is set on the
northeastern coast of England in late summer, 1066 and
sees Steven Taylor (Peter Purves) become a companion
to the First Doctor (William Hartnell) after having stumbled into the TARDIS during the events of the previous
serial, The Chase.[1] This story introduces recurring villain the Meddling Monk (Peter Butterworth).
Steven and Vicki nd the gramophone. They then manage to leave the monastery via a secret passage. Steven
and Vicki have found that the TARDIS has been submerged beneath the incoming tide. They resolve to return
the monastery to look for the Doctor.
The Doctor has escaped by the same passage himself and
returns to the Saxon village. He soon hears of the Viking
scouting party and decides to head back to the monastery
to track down Steven and Vicki. The Doctor has the upper hand when the Monk answers the door and believes
he is being held at gunpoint. The Monk is being questioned by the Doctor when they are overpowered by the
two Vikings, Sven and Ulf. In the ensuing confrontation the Monk slips away, leaving the Doctor the Vikings
prisoner. The Doctor knocks out Sven and elsewhere the
Monk does the same to Ulf.

The Monk hides while the ghting rages, little knowing

that the Doctor and his friends have been freed and are

the Monk decides to leave and returns to his TARDIS,
though the Doctor left a note assuring the Monk his meddling days are ended. When the Monk looks inside he
realises the Doctor has taken the dimensional control and
the interior of his ship has shrunk beyond use, leaving him
stranded in 1066. The tide having gone out, the Doctor

Due to an error by Maureen O'Brien during recording,

Reviewing the serial in 2009, Patrick Mulkern of Radio

Times described it as an utter delight, praising Butterworth and the direction.[9] The A.V. Club reviewer
Christopher Bahn was positive towards the concept of
the Monk and the introduction of Steven.[10] He also
noted that it keeps things moving despite its relatively
simple plotline, a testament both to Dennis Spooners
script and Douglas Camelds direction.[10] Johnathan
Wilkins, writing for Dreamwatch, described The Time
Meddler as an often forgotten gem with good performances all around. However, he did note that the

weakest element was perhaps the stereotypical local
villagers.[11] IGN's Arnold T Blumburg gave the serial
a score of 7 out of 10, highlighting the chemistry between Hartnell and Butterworth, the competency of Vicki
and Steven, and the visual atmosphere.[12] Despite this,
he noted that there were a few clichs in the plotting
and, unlike Bahn, felt that it was denitely a slow-paced
story.[12] Simon Brew of Den of Geek gave The Time
Meddler a rating of three out of ve, feeling that it really hits its stride with the sparring between the Doctor
and the Monk, but ultimately the story was not enough to
cover four episodes.[13]

The working title for this story was The Chumblies. Different resources alternatively spell out the title: Galaxy

The BBC no longer holds the complete serial in its
archives, although on 11 December 2011 it was announced that episode three, Air Lock, had been discovered earlier that year among material bought by former
ITV engineer Terry Burnett;[1][2] however, due to a break
in the lm, the last 27 seconds of action and the closing credits are all missing from the print.[3] Additionally,
almost six minutes worth of footage from episode one,
Four Hundred Dawns, is held in the archive thanks to a
1977 documentary entitled Whose Doctor Who - although
only 30 seconds was eventually used, the footage that was
discarded was kept by Jan Vincent-Rudzki, then president of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society, who acted
as a technical advisor on the documentary programme,

3.2 Mission to the Unknown

"Mission to the Unknown", sometimes known as
Dalek Cutaway and also Dalek Cutaway-Mission to
the Unknown, is a missing episode of the third season of the British science ction television series Doctor
Who, rst broadcast on 9 October 1965. The sole standalone episode of the shows original run (besides the
1983 feature-length anniversary special The Five Doctors,
which was later shown in a multi-episode form) it serves
as an introduction to the 12 part story The Daleks Master Plan. It is also notable for the complete absence of
the regular cast, including the Doctor (although William
Hartnell is still credited on-screen). The story focuses on
Space Security Agent Marc Cory (Edward de Souza) and
his attempts to warn Earth of the Daleks latest plan. Although audio recordings of the episode exist, no footage
is known to have survived.
3.2.1
Plot
you become a Varga plant if you prick yourself on it. This

is further evidence that the Daleks could be on Kembel.
In the Dalek city on Kembel, the Dalek Supreme waits to
be updated on the latest developments. He is told that the
representatives from the seven planets will be arriving for
a meeting. He tells a Dalek to destroy Cory and Lowery.
Elsewhere in the Kembel jungle, the Daleks are discussing how to exterminate the humans. Lowery (who
is building a rescue beacon) and Cory are more concerned with the Varga plants than the Daleks. A spaceship ies above them and they realise the Daleks are planning something big.
Lowery nishes the rescue beacon and is about to record
a message when they notice something moving in the jungle. They duck behind some bushes as four Daleks enter
the landing area and destroy the ship. Cory and Lowery
head deeper into the jungle and Lowery discovers a Varga
thorn in his hand.
In the Dalek city, the representatives from the seven
galaxies have gathered in a conference room. They are
worried about the humans, who they believe are hostile,
but the Daleks assure them that the humans will be dealt
with. The representatives all approve the Dalek plans to
conquer Earth.
Cory discovers that Lowery is becoming a Varga plant
and kills him. Cory then picks up the rescue beacon and
starts recording his message. The Daleks nd and exterminate him, but the beacon and the message survive.
All the representatives pledge an alliance with the Dalek
cause and start to repeat Victory.
Synopsis
On the planet Kembel, Marc Cory and Gordon Lowery are trying to repair their spaceship, while another
crewmember, Je Garvey, is lying on the ground, out of
their sight. He awakes, in pain and in a violent state of
mind. He keeps behind the ship to make sure that neither
of the men sees him. He raises his gun to re at Lowery,
but Cory sees Garvey and shoots him. Cory pulls a long
thorn out of Garvey from behind the ear. He warns Lowery that if he stung himself on it he would have to kill him
too.
The two men go into the spaceship, leaving Garveys
body. Garveys hand begins to twitch and hair and thorns
start to grow all over his body. He is becoming a Varga
plant. Cory has a licence to kill from the Space Security
Service and enlists Lowery to help him. Cory explains
that the Daleks have been gaining control of many planets and that a Dalek spaceship has been spotted in this
solar system.
Continuity
This story serves as a prequel to the upcoming twelve-part
serial The Daleks Master Plan. Essentially, this story, and
The Daleks Master Plan, forms a rough thirteen-part epic,
although they are separated by the four-episode storyline
The Myth Makers.
3.2.2 Production

decided to make the nal episode in serial T a one-o

3.2. MISSION TO THE UNKNOWN

Doctor or his companions, so that he could eventually develop and sell the idea of a Dalek series, divorced from the
Doctor Who universe. In the proposed series, the Space
Security Service was tasked with hunting Daleks, and it
would follow their adventures an approach that can be
seen in short stories and comic strips written for the 1965
Dalek Outer Space Book (cover dated 1966). An unmade
pilot titled The Destroyers was written, but the series concept was never sold.
Alternative titles and production codes
Perhaps more than any other Doctor Who story, Mission
to the Unknown generates confusion and debate over
both the title used and the serial/production code allocated. All Doctor Who stories from this period have no
overall on-screen title, with the story referred to either by
a production code or an internal title by the production
team. (For example, the early 1965 story featuring Nero
was Serial M or The Romans.) The two were confusingly
used interchangeably in many production and overseas
sales documents. Mission to the Unknown generates
further confusion because some documents do not refer
to it as a serial but rather as a cutaway episode. As the
story was produced alongside Galaxy 4 the two appear to
have been referred to together. Several of the production codes oered are either Serial T or Serial T +, an
appendage.
The camera script calls the episode Doctor Who: Mission to the Unknown, but in the left margin the words
Dalek Cutaway are typed. A handwritten addition on
the front sheet states Serial T Episode 4 (which actually is the production code for the episode from the week
prior).[5] In the Programme as Broadcast document, the
episode is titled Dalek Cutaway - Mission to the Unknown. No production code appears.[6] In a production
memo provided to the new producer John Wiles, dated
May 1965 and called The History of Doctor Who, the
episode is called Serial DC.[5] In a design document
dated July 9, the episode is referred to as T/A Episode
1, and in another dated July 20, it is called Serial T,
Episode 5.[5] In 1969 when the videotape of the episode
was due to be wiped (although this did not actually happen until 1974) the relevant paperwork referred to it as
Serial Ta Episode 1/1.
When it came to oering the story for sale overseas, the
synopsis sent by BBC Enterprises gave the title as Mission to the Unknown (Dalek Cutaway)". The 1974 Enterprises document A Quick Guide to Doctor Who, which
listed the stories produced so far for potential overseas
buyers, gave the title as Dalek Cutaway (Mission to the
Unknown)" and did not oer any production code at all.
When fans started compiling reference books in the mid1970s, it was this latter document which formed the basis of many lists. The story was referred to alternatively
as Dalek Cutaway and Mission to the Unknown on
many occasions, whilst the production code went vacant
55
until the discovery of the design documents stating T/A.
In more recent years the exploration of the BBCs written
archives has exposed the problems of the title and production code.
Cast notes
This is the only Doctor Who story that does not feature
the character of the Doctor or the TARDIS at all. Despite
this, William Hartnell is still credited as Dr. Who
this was because his contract specied he would be credited for all episodes, including those in which he appeared
only in the reprise or did not feature at all. The Doctors
companions Vicki (Maureen O'Brien) and Steven Taylor (Peter Purves) do not appear either. Unlike Hartnell,
their contracts did not guarantee they would be credited,
though they were in the BBC listings magazine Radio
Times (and episode guides taking their information from
there). O'Brien would actually leave the series at the conclusion of the following story, The Myth Makers and not
appear in the Master Plan serial.
The alien delegates seen at the Daleks HQ on Kembel would return in The Daleks Master Plan, but recast
with some make-up and costume changes and with a notably dierent line-up including some speaking characters, leading to some confusion over which is which. The
disparity only came to light when the Master Plan episode
Day of Armageddon was returned to the BBC archives.
Barry Jackson had previously appeared as Ascaris in The
Romans and would appear as Drax in The Armageddon
Factor. Jeremy Young had previously played Kal in An
Unearthly Child. Edward de Souza would later play Mortimer Davey in the audio play The Roof of the World.

In print
The story was novelised as part of The Daleks Master
Plan I: Mission to the Unknown by John Peel (published
in September 1989). The rest of the book contained an
adaptation of the rst six episodes of The Daleks Master
Plan.
In May 2010 an unabridged reading of the book by Peter
Purves and Jean Marsh, with Dalek voices supplied by
Nicholas Briggs, was released by BBC Audiobooks. The
title was slightly modied to Daleks - Mission to the Unknown.

3.4 The Daleks Master Plan

The Feast of Steven redirects here. It is not to be
confused with St. Stephens Day.
The Daleks Master Plan is the partly missing third serial
of the third season in the British science ction television series Doctor Who, which originally aired in twelve
weekly parts from 13 November 1965 to 29 January
1966. This twelve part serial is the longest with a single
director and production code: The Trial of a Time Lord
was longer but was made in three production blocks, with
separate codes, and with four separate story lines each
with their own authors and working titles.
The Daleks exterminate Zephon for allowing the Doctor

to impersonate him and they cause the Spar to crash on
Desparus, a penal planet where prisoners are left to fend
for themselves. Mavic Chen also departs for Earth in a
temporary ship, wanting to nd out exactly who the people who stole the Taranium are. On Desparus, the Doctor
is able to eect repairs, and they manage to escape when
the pursuing Dalek ship itself crashes upon arrival. However, a convict named Kirksen sneaks aboard the Spar
prior to take-o and holds Katarina hostage in the airlock once the ship has left Desparus. He demands to be
taken to Kembel or else he will kill Katarina, but she sacrices herself by opening the airlock, blowing the two out
into space. The Daleks warn Chen that the fugitives will
be heading for Earth to inform them of their presence on
Kembel, and order him to kill them on sight and snatch
the Taranium core himself. Chen worries that this make

but they are able to escape the oce. She pursues them to
a laboratory, where the three are caught in the middle of
a molecular dissemination experiment and are inadvertently transported to Mira, a planet populated by savage
invisible creatures, where the three enter into an uneasy
alliance. They are constantly attacked by the creatures,
the Visians and try to take shelter.
On Earth, Mavic Chen stresses out, believing that the
Taranium was destroyed during the transportation. However, the scientists carrying out the Dissemination inform
him that the computers are registering that the matter
that has been transported (a cage of mice) has successfully arrived on Mira. Chen angrily says that this is no
evidence that the taranium wasn't broken up into pieces.
He believes he will be exterminated by the Daleks for his

lured the fugitives into the laboratory, as their presence
on Earth would have caused suspicions of the Dalek plan,
and tells them to pick up the Taranium from Mira whilst
he returns to Kembel. When the Daleks arrive they too
are attacked by the invisible creatures, and the Doctor,
Steven and Sara are able to commandeer the Dalek ship
and escape. It turns out that the Daleks can pilot the ship
remotely and bring it back to Kembel, but the Doctor is
able to create a fake Taranium core, which they hand over
to the Daleks before escaping Kembel.
The Doctor is able to return the TARDIS to Kembel,

where Steven and Sara (who get briey separated from
the Doctor) discover that the Daleks have turned on their
allies, including Chen, and imprisoned them before apparently leaving the planet. The two TARDIS travellers
free the alien leaders, and they leave to persuade their governments to ally against the Daleks, though Chen appears
to die when his Spar explodes during take-o. Steven
and Sara then nd an underground base being used by
the Daleks, only to be captured and held at gunpoint by
a delusional Chen, who marches them into the base and
the Dalek control room. He tries to proclaim himself the
leader of the Daleks, but they dismissively kill him.
Now reunited with his companions, the Doctor activates

the fully assembled Time Destructor. Knowing that the
device will quickly begin ageing anything in its vicinity,
the Daleks allow the Doctor to escape with Steven and
Sara. Steven goes ahead back to the TARDIS, but Sara
insists on accompanying the Doctor. The two are unable
to get back to the TARDIS before the Time Destructor
reaches full power, and Sara is aged to death and reduced
to dust metres away from the TARDIS. Steven helps the
Doctor back inside and freed from the Destructors inuence the two are left weakened, but alive and back to
their original ages. The Daleks try to destroy the Time
Destructor, but instead cause it to run out of control, resulting in it destroying the Daleks and all life on the planet.
The Doctor and Steven emerge from the TARDIS, and

and the Doctor breaks the fourth wall by wishing a happy
Christmas to the viewers at home.
On Kembel, the Daleks test the Time Destructor on delegate Trantis. It has no eect, and the Daleks realise it
is a fake. A taskforce of Daleks disembarks to chase the
travellers, intending on recapturing the real core. Meanwhile, The TARDIS next arrives on a volcanic planet
where the Doctor has a run-in with his old enemy, the
Meddling Monk, who attempts to sabotage the TARDIS
in revenge for the Doctor previously stranding him in
11th century England. The Doctor is still able to y the
TARDIS to Ancient Egypt, though he has to stop there
for repairs. The Monk follows him, as does the taskforce
of Daleks and Mavic Chen. The Monk, Sara and Steven
end up being captured and used as hostages, and without time to create another fake, the Doctor is forced to
hand over the real Taranium core. They are only able to
escape with their lives when some Ancient Egyptians attack the Daleks which they describe as 'war machines.
3.4.2 Production
The series soon-to-be regular composer, Dudley Simpson, did not work on this serial owing to a serious dispute
with director Douglas Cameld. Sometime after the production of the serial The Crusade, the two had a small
falling out. On the next serial that Cameld directed (The
Time Meddler), Cameld elected to use percussion music,
feeling that it lent to the storys atmosphere. However,
Simpson interpreted this as a snub by Cameld, causing
the dispute to escalate. By the time this serial had entered
production, relations between the two had grown so bad
that Cameld refused to even consider Simpson, instead
hiring Tristram Cary. The dispute was still unresolved at
the time of Camelds death in 1984.
60
Script
According to the credits, the serial was written by Terry
Nation (episodes 15 & 7) and Dennis Spooner (episodes
6 & 812), with the credit From an idea by Terry Nation on Spooners episodes. Script editor Donald Tosh
claimed in an interview that the work done by Nation on
the serial amounted to less than 20 pages of work, and
that he wrote most of Nations episodes. However, Doctor Who historian David Brunt has disputed this, saying
that Nation submitted over 30 pages of script for each of
his episodes (apart from The Feast of Steven) and that
Tosh only polished the dialogue and/or cut scenes out for
time or budget reasons.
Another controversy involves the title of the serial.
Perhaps because of the multiple authors and/or typists, virtually every conceivable variant of the title The
Daleks Master Plan was used in contemporary documents, though this version is on a plurality of camera
scripts. During production the story was referred to as
Twelve Part Dalek Story on some documents.

depart the city as soon as possible. Anne is sent to her
aunts house, with a warning from the Doctor that she
must stay there. She heads o while Steven and the Doctor head across the city.
Steven has now fallen out with and evaded Nicholas Muss,
taking his chances in the streets of Paris alone. He heads
for the Abbots house, believing him to be the Doctor,
and hides there while Tavannes, Duval and Colbert meet
to discuss their plans. The Sea Beggar dies tomorrow
assures Tavannes, as an assassin has been engaged to kill
him when he departs the Royal Council in the Louvre.
The Sea Beggar is a codename for de Coligny, but the

Steven heads out again and nds Anne following him. She
has been dismissed from service for protesting Stevens
innocence in the Catholic plot. They hide the night at

When the Council resumes at the Louvre the next morning, Tavannes and de Coligny are still locked in conict.
They also argue about domestic matters, with de Coligny
urging more action to protect the Huguenots.
Steven and Anne call upon the Abbot, where he learns
both that the Doctor is not the Abbot and the identity of
the Sea Beggar. The pair ee before Anne can be conned, alerting the Abbot, Tavannes and Colbert of their
danger since they evidently know too much. Steven and
Anne make contact with Nicholas Muss and warn him
the assassination of his master is about to take place.
Nicholas bolts o and witnesses the assassination attempt, but de Coligny is merely wounded.
Tavannes believes the bungled assassination is the fault of
the Abbot, who has become a liability, and the cleric is
placed under arrest, suspected of being an impostor.
De Coligny has meanwhile been moved to his house, and
a surgeon called, and as Steven and Nicholas tend to him
they too receive news that the Abbot of Amboise has died.
Steven is distraught, still partly convinced that the Doctor has adopted the Abbots guise, heads to the Abbots
lodgings and sees the dead body there. It seems the Abbot has been assassinated too, inaming the Catholic mob
outside the house, which does not disappoint the real culprits, Colbert and Tavannes.
The TARDIS has arrived in 1966 and a young girl enters

the vehicle thinking it to be a Police Box on Wimbledon
Common. A small child has been hurt in a road accident and she wishes to make a call. Steven arrives
back too, saying that policemen are approaching, and his
heart softens when the young woman introduces herself
as Dorothea or Dodo Chaplet.
The Doctor, hearing Stevens warning of the approaching policemen, hurriedly dematerialises the TARDIS, not
noticing until after it has left 1966 that Dodo is still
aboard. Steven informs her that theres no way back, and
we could land anywhere, but Dodo seems either unworried or simply doesn't believe him. She says she is an orphan who lives with her great aunt and thus has few ties,
as the TARDIS continues to hum, hurtling them toward
the next great adventure.
Continuity
The last episode of this serial introduces Dodo Chaplet, played by Jackie Lane. The story suggests that Dodo
might be a descendant of Anne Chaplet; however, it has
often been pointed out that this would only be possible if
Anne had an illegitimate child (or else married someone
who shared her surname). In John Lucarottis novelisation, Anne has a younger brother, Raoul, who could have
survived to father a child and pass on the family name;
On the following day, Steven heads back to Preslins shop also, the Doctor himself dismisses the suggestion of a
connection between Dodo and Anne Chaplet, declaring

though the scene was scheduled, it was not lmed.
Alternative titles
A few original production documents state the name of
the serial as The Massacre of St Bartholomews Eve, although this is an anachronism, as the actual massacre took
place on St Bartholomews Day. Some have noted that as
the original French name for the event (Massacre de la
Saint-Barthlemy) lacks a day, the title actually refers to
the lead up to the massacre itself that is, the Eve of the
Massacre of St Bartholomew.
The BBC Radio Collection release gives the title as,
variously, The Massacre and The Massacre of St
Bartholomews Eve. The packaging uses the title The
Massacre, but the accompanying booklet uses both titles. The CDs have The Massacre of St Bartholomews
Eve printed on them and this is also the title announced
by Peter Purves on the discs themselves.
Cast notes
William Hartnell was on holiday during lming of
episode two; the Doctor does not feature in the episode,
and the Abbot appears in a pre-lmed scene only.

The Ark is the fth serial of the third season in the British
rst broadcast in four weekly parts from 5 March to 26
March 1966. The story is set in the 57th Segment of
Time, which the Doctor calculates to be approximately
AD 10,000,000 and constitutes Dodo Chaplet's rst journey with the Doctor as a travelling companion. It is also
the earliest serial of the third season to exist in its entirety.
3.6.1
Plot
Almost ten million years in the future, the TARDIS materialises on a vast spacecraft including its own miniature
zoo and arboretum. The First Doctor and Steven Taylor
are still explaining the basics of their time travel ability
to new companion Dodo Chaplet when she starts to show
signs of a cold. It is only a matter of time before they
are found and taken to the control chamber of the vessel.
Their captors are the mute Monoids, seemingly identical
alien beings with a single eye. The Monoids live in peace
alongside the humans who command the spaceship, their
own planet having been destroyed, but often do much of
the menial work. The humans in charge of the ship explain that the Earth is about to be destroyed because of the
expansion of the sun, and that this ship is an Ark sent into
space with the last remnants of humanity, civilization and
various forms of ora and fauna. The human Guardians
in charge of the craft run a tight ship: failure to conform
to rules means either death or miniaturisation until they
reach their destination, an Earth-like planet called Refusis
II, which takes nearly 700 years to get to. As an amusement during the journey a vast statue is being carved by
hand, depicting a human being.
Curiously, when the TARDIS rematerialises, they are still

on the Ark. However, seven hundred years have passed
and there has been a major change: the Monoids are in
control. They have completed the statue in the image of
themselves, having staged a coup during the long journey.
This was made possible by a genetic weakness introduced
into the humans, but not the Monoids, by a second wave
of the cold virus 700 years earlier. The Monoids also now
have voice communicators and use numerical emblems to
distinguish each other. The humans are now little more
than slaves, with the odd exception like the collaborator
subject Guardian Maharis, and have little hope of change.
The Doctor and his friends encounter the Monoid leadership, installed in a throne room on the Ark, after which
they are sent to the security kitchen to help prepare meals
for the Monoids. Two humans, Manissa and Dassuk, believe the moment of their liberation is at hand. Steven
tries to help them in a revolt, which is unsuccessful.
The arrival on Refusis is close at hand and a landing pod
is prepared. Monoid 1 wants to make sure that the new
world is inhabited only by Monoids, despite promises that
the human population will be allowed to live there too. A
landing party is assembled the Doctor, Dodo, Monoid 2
and a subject Guardian named Yendom and they soon
reach Refusis II and start to investigate. A stately castle, which seems to be unoccupied, is in fact the home to
the invisible Refusians, giant beings rendered invisible by
solar ares. They welcome their guests and have been expecting them but only want to share the planet with other
peaceful beings. Monoid 2 and Yendom ee the castle,
and en route Yendom realises the humans will not be allowed to reach Refusis with the Monoids. Monoid 2 kills
him and is shortly afterward killed himself when the landing pod explodes.

Steven and Dodo face dierent challenges. The rst to
appear are two clowns, Joey and Clara, full of childish
tricks and a rather dangerous game of Blind Mans Blu
based on buzzed clues, which is not as simple as it rst
seems. The clowns are made to replay the game when
it is clear they are cheating, and the second time round
Joey loses his footing on an obstacle course and the challengers are transformed into twisted dolls on the oor.
Steven and Dodo then venture down a corridor into another chamber with three beautiful chairs and a challenge
from living playing cards, the King and Queen of Hearts,
along with a Knave and a Joker. An adjoining room has a
further four chairs and Steven deduces from a rhyme that
six of the seven chairs are deadly to sit on. Seven mannequins are provided to be used for testing on the chairs.
The King and Queen play alongside them, and some of
the mannequins are destroyed as seats are proven unsafe
and eliminated. Dodo herself sits in the freezing chair and
starts to freeze, only being rescued in the nick of time.
The King and Queen, however, are trapped when they sit
in a chair which folds in on them, with Cyril, the Knave,
and the Joker having abandoned them to their games. The
King and Queen revert to their playing card form.
The next hurdle for Steven and Dodo are the comical Sgt.
Rugg and Mrs. Wiggs, who hold court in a kitchen. They
challenge them to hunt the thimble or rather the key to
the exit door beyond which the TARDIS is presumed to
be. Rugg and Wiggs are soon ghting, hurling crockery
and food around, and in the chaos Dodo nds the key inside the large pie which Mrs Wiggs was making. She and
Steven depart and enter another room with the dancing
oor. There they encounter the three mannequins not destroyed by the chairs, who transform into ballerinas, and
start to dance. At the far end of the oor is indeed the
TARDIS. Sgt Rugg and Mrs Wiggs turn up too, determined to please the Toymaker and stop Steven and Dodo
from reaching their craft. Steven and Dodo get trapped
as partners with two of the dolls, and only manage to
free themselves by swapping their partners for each other.
They pelt on to the TARDIS, leaving Wiggs and Rugg to
their fates, but the police box is once more a fake.

turned to visibility and voice, and holds the nal piece
of the puzzle in his hand. The three friends are now reunited, with Steven and Dodo sent into the TARDIS for
safety while the Toymaker challenges the Doctor to complete the Game. The Doctor realises that when he makes
the move and the Game is won, the Toymakers domain
will disappear and the TARDIS with it. He cleverly orders the last piece to move using the Toymakers voice
from inside the TARDIS, allowing them to depart while
the Toymakers world is destroyed. The Doctor celebrates
with a sweet from a bag given to Dodo by Cyril, but it
leaves him in agony.
Continuity
The character of the Toymaker and his portrayer, Michael
Gough, were set to return in Season 23 in a story titled The
Nightmare Fair with the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown.
However, that season was placed on hiatus by then BBC
Controller Michael Grade and when the hiatus was over,
all of the original stories were dropped in favour of the
season-long story The Trial of a Time Lord.
The Nightmare Fair was later released in May 1989 as a
novel (ISBN 0426203348) under the same title, and then
again in 2009 as an audio play by Big Finish, featuring
the two of the original TV cast, Colin Baker and Nicola
Bryant, and with David Bailie as the Toymaker. The character of the Toymaker also appeared in the BBC Books
Fifth Doctor Past Doctor Adventures novel Divided Loyalties by Gary Russell (which reveals that the Celestial
Toymaker is of the Guardian alien race, as well as revealing the details of the First Doctors original encounter
with the Toymaker while he was still at the Academy).
He is also seen in Doctor Who Magazine 's rst Eighth
Doctor comic strip End Game. The Toymaker also
appears in two original Big Finish audio plays: with the
Seventh Doctor in The Magic Mousetrap and with companion Charlotte Pollard in Solitaire. David Bailie again
played the role.

BBC Television, the producers, received complaints from

lawyers acting on behalf of the late Frank Richards estate. The character Cyril (played by Peter Stephens) was
said to bear a remarkable resemblance to Billy Bunter.
The BBC subsequently issued a disclaimer saying that
Cyril was merely Bunter-like.[5]
The BBCs Audience Research Report on the nal
episode found that it had little appeal for a large proportion of the sample, over a third of whom actually disliked
it. Some found the episode to be lacking in action and it
was also criticised for 'ham' acting, although other viewers had enjoyed the casts performance. The audience
sample mostly found the story as a whole to be too dierent to the usual Doctor Who story format, being more of a
whimsical fantasy. The most critical viewers dismissed it
as ridiculous rubbish, others said that although disliking
it themselves, their children had enjoyed it.[6]

The Gunghters is the seventh serial of the third season
in the British science ction television series Doctor Who,

Plot
In the frontier town of Tombstone, Arizona, the troublesome Clanton brothers, Ike, Phineas and Billy, are in
town in search of Doc Holliday to settle an old score over
the death of another brother called Reuben. They meet
up with their hired hand Seth Harper at the Last Chance
Saloon. He knows what Holliday looks like and describes
his coat and demeanour. This is overheard by bar singer
Kate, who lets her paramour Holliday know he is in danger.
The TARDIS has arrived in a nearby stable, with the
Doctor in agony from toothache. He and his companions Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet, dressed as cowboys, soon encounter local marshal Wyatt Earp, who offers them his protection and warns them to keep his counsel. The Doctor nds the dentist Holliday himself while Dodo and Steven book rooms at the local hotel.
There they are mocked by the Clantons, who suspect the
Doctor they refer to is Holliday himself. Seth Harper is
sent to the dentists surgery and invites the Doctor, tooth
removed, to the hotel in ve minutes to meet his friends.
Wyatt Earps brothers Warren and Virgil have meanwhile

arrived at Tombstone to help him enforce the law. The
Doctor soon tells them that Ringo is in town. Events take
a harsh turn when the other Clanton brothers visit the jail
to free Phin, killing Warren Earp in the process.
Meanwhile, Steven heads out of town to look for Dodo
with Ringo in tow in search of Holliday. Steven and Kate
end up being taken by Ringo to the Clanton ranch where
the Clantons recamp and tell their father, Pa Clanton, that
they have killed an Earp. Wyatt Earp swears vengeance
and starts to build a posse of lawmen to deal with the
Clantons once and for all. Doc Holliday returns to Tombstone with Dodo, and oers his services to his old friend
Earp too. Attempts by the Doctor to defuse the situation amount to little: there will be a gunght at the O.K.

and Johnny Ringo; on the other, the two Earps and Doc

Clantons are shot dead. Shortly thereafter, the Doctor,
Steven and Dodo slip away in the TARDIS.
They arrive on a strange planet, and decide to go out and
have a look. As they leave, a strange man is seen approaching the TARDIS on the scanner.

a name of one of Averys former pirates, but is slain by
a vengeful Pike, who now threatens to pillage the entire
village in his search for Averys treasure. The Doctor bargains with Pike for the lives of the villagers if he shows
him the treasure and, with this agreed, they nd the gold
at the intersection of the four graves.
Hours later the discovery of the churchwardens body

leads the locals to suspect the three strangers at the inn.
The local Squire is called to intervene and adjudicate, and
ends up charging Ben and Polly with the murder. Employing trickery to obtain their freedom, they split up.
Ben hides at the church until Josiah Blake, a revenue man
tracking the local smugglers, disturbs him.
No sooner does Pike have the treasure than Blake and an

armed patrol of revenue men arrive. Aided by the injured Squire who repents of his sins Blake kills Pike,
and the pirate force is routed. As the battle dies down,
the Doctor and his companions slip away to the TARDIS,
and the Doctor says superstition is a strange thing but it
sometimes tells the truth.
In the meantime Cherub and some pirates have kidnapped the Doctor and taken him to the Albatross. The
Doctor attempts to bargain with Pike, and nds himself
kept aboard ship while the captain goes ashore. Pike decides to try and make an alliance with the Squire as well

Continuity
The events leading up to this story, from the Cybermens
perspective, are heard in the Big Finish audio story Spare
Parts with the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. The story deals
with many aspects left unexplained in this story; such as
how Mondas left the solar system and returned again. The
Sixth Doctor serial, Attack of the Cybermen, takes place in
1985, a year before the events of The Tenth Planet. In that
serial the Cybermen attempt to alter history so Mondas is
not destroyed.
While the Doctor regenerates at the end of this story,
the process is unnamed. In the subsequent serial, The
Power of the Daleks, the Doctor states that he has been
renewed, implying a restoration of youth rather than a
change of body. The concept was not called regeneration until Planet of the Spiders. Script editor Gerry Davis
later stated that it was intended for the energy drain from
Mondas to be the cause of the regeneration, but that it did
not come across clearly on screen.
4.2.2
Production
All four episodes of this story feature a specially designed

graphics sequence used for the opening titles and closing
credits. Designed by Bernard Lodge, they were intended
to resemble a computer printout.[2] In the opening credits
for the rst episode, Kit Pedler is incorrectly identied as
Kitt Pedler. In the opening credits for the third episode,
Gerry Davis is incorrectly identied as Gerry Davies.
William Hartnell did not appear in the third episode.[3]
On the Monday before the programme was due to be
recorded, he sent a telegram to the production team informing them that he was too ill to work. Gerry Davis
rewrote the script to explain the Doctors absence (his
sudden collapse) and gave his dialogue to other characters, most noticeably Ben. This was not as much of an interruption to the episodes production as it would seem, as
all four episodes had been written so that Hartnell would
have relatively little to do in case of just such an event.
The original draft of episode 4 did not feature the Doctor
regenerating at the end.[4]
The First Doctors last words were originally scripted as
something similar to No... no, I simply will not give
in!" Time was running short towards the end of production, and director Derek Martinus opted not to record the
81
line, wanting to ensure that the regeneration sequence was
recorded as well as possible. As a result, the First Doctors last words were simply Ah! Yes. Thank you. Thats
good, keep warm.
Cast notes
Patrick Troughton appears in the nal episode, uncredited, as the Second Doctor. William Hartnell would
reprise the role of the First Doctor on only one occasion:
the tenth anniversary serial The Three Doctors, although
a photograph of him would be seen briey as Troughton
rst looks into a mirror at the start of Troughtons rst serial, The Power of the Daleks; the rst episode begins with
a shot of Troughton lying on the TARDIS oor. A clip
of Hartnell from part 6 of The Dalek Invasion of Earth
was used at the beginning of the 20th anniversary special,
The Five Doctors (where Richard Hurndall would play the
First Doctor during most of the episode). A clip of Hartnell from The Tenth Planet was used in Earthshock, when
the Cybermen review the Doctors change of appearance.
Missing episode
The last episode of this serial is missing. It is possibly
the most sought-after of the missing episodes, because it
contains the historic rst regeneration scene (even though
a low-quality, truncated copy of this sequence survives
and is held in the BBC Archives), and also because it is
William Hartnells nal episode. In fact, it is included in
a list of the ten most wanted missing programmes alongside the BBC studio footage from the Apollo 11 landings
(which is currently held only in soundtrack form).
Popular myth has it that the only surviving telerecording
copy of the fourth episode was lost when loaned out
to the childrens programme Blue Peter in 1973 when
they wished to use a clip from it in a feature on the
tenth anniversary of Doctor Who.[5] Although a print of
The Daleks Master Plan Episode 4 (The Traitors) was
loaned to Blue Peter and not returned to the BBC Film Library, there was never a copy of The Tenth Planet Episode
4 there to have been loaned. Another department BBC
Enterprises was still oering all four episodes for sale
to foreign broadcasters until the end of the following year
and would not, in any case, have loaned out master negatives.
In 1992, a man named Roger K. Barrett (later revealed to
be an alias; it being based on the real name of Syd Barrett) claimed to have a videotape recording of Episode 4
of this story, and oered to sell it to the BBC for 500.
Before this was revealed as a hoax, the BBC produced a
special introduction for an intended VHS release of the
story, hosted by Michael Craze, two versions of which
were lmed: one explaining that Episode 4 was still missing, the other introducing the story as if it were complete. A documentary called Missing in Action, made

in 2004. The only surviving clip of the regeneration was
also released as a special feature on the DVD releases for
The Three Doctors and Castrovalva.
In 2009, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times found the original Cybermen design like usherettes from some kinky,
futuristic moviehouse, but praised the character of Cutler and Hartnells Doctor.[10] Den of Geek named the
clihanger of Episode 4 as one of the programmes ten
classic clihangers.[11] Alasdair Wilkins of io9 described it as a very solid, at times excellent story and
noted The Cybermen have possibly been more intimidating in other stories, but they have never been creepier
than they are here. He named it the fourth best regeneration and regeneration story.[12] DVD Talk's John Sinnott
gave the story four and a half out of ve stars. He praised
Hartnells performance and the Cybermen.[13] Ian Berriman of SFX was more mixed, giving the serial three out
of ve stars. He praised the Cybermen and the palpable tension, but felt that the regeneration was tacked on
and not enough background was given to make Mondas
believable.[14]
4.2.4
Commercial releases
The story was released on DVD on 14 October 2013,[15]

with the missing fourth episode animated[16][17] along
with additional extra features including the original reconstruction of episode four from the 2000 VHS Release
included as an extra and a special Frozen Out documentary on the making of the story.
The Regenerations box set, released on 24 June
2013,[18] contains The Tenth Planet (including the newly
animated fourth episode). The serial was released with
no special features.

maintaining reality, he vowed revenge on the Time Lords

who left him stranded.
The Three Doctors is the rst serial of the tenth season

of the British science ction television series Doctor Who,
rst broadcast in four weekly parts from 30 December
1972 to 20 January 1973.
It is clear that the exile has made Omega quite insane.

Along with his revenge, he has summoned the Doctors
here to take over the mental maintenance of the antimatter universe so he can escape. However, the Doctors discover that years of exposure to the corrosive eects of the
black holes singularity have destroyed Omegas physical
body he is trapped forever. Driven over the edge by this
discovery, Omega now demands that the Doctors share
his exile.
The serial opened the tenth anniversary year of the series,

and features the rst three Doctors all appearing in the
same serial. This makes it the rst Doctor Who story in
which an earlier incarnation of the Doctor returns to the
show.
5.1.1
The Doctors escape briey, and oer Omega a proposition. They will give him his freedom if they send the others back to the positive matter universe. Omega agrees,
and when that is done, the Doctors oer Omega a force
eld generator containing the Second Doctors recorder,
which had fallen in it prior to the transport through the
black hole. Omega knocks the generator over in a rage
and the unconverted positive matter recorder falls out of
the force eld. When the recorder comes into contact
with the antimatter universe, it annihilates everything in a
ash, returning the Doctors in the TARDIS to the positive
matter universe. The Third Doctor explains that death
was the only freedom anyone could oer Omega.
Plot
A superluminal signal is sent to Earth, carrying with it an

unusual energy blob that seems intent on capturing the
Doctor. In the meantime, the homeworld of the Time
Lords is under siege, with all the power sustaining it being drained through a black hole. Trapped and desperate,

5.1.2
Production
Working titles for this story included The Black Hole. The
script was originally supposed to feature all three Doctors equally, but William Hartnell was too ill to be able
to play the full role as envisioned. He was, therefore, reduced to a pre-recorded cameo role, appearing only on
the TARDISs scanner and the space-time viewer of the
Time Lords. It would be the last time he played the Doctor and his last acting role before his death in 1975.[1]
Hartnells scenes were lmed at BBCs Ealing Studios and
not in a garage or a garden shed as fan myth would have
it. The serials promotional photo shoot was the only time
the three actors were shown together.
The production team also planned for Frazer Hines to
reprise his role of Jamie McCrimmon alongside the Second Doctor; however, Hines was not available, due to
his work on the soap opera Emmerdale Farm. Much of
the role originally intended for Jamie was reassigned to
Sergeant Benton.

The novelisation provides a rationale for Omegas realm
to be a quarry: over the millennia, Omega has become
weary of the mental eort required to generate a verdant
landscape and now makes do with rock and soil. The Second Doctor is referred to throughout as Doctor Two. In
the book, Mr Ollis is renamed Mr Hollis.
Home media
The Three Doctors was released twice on VHS, rst in
August 1991 and thereafter remastered and re-released
in 2002 as part of the WHSmith's The Time Lord Collection boxed set. It was released on DVD in the UK in
November 2003 as part of the Doctor Who 40th Anniversary Celebration releases, representing the Jon Pertwee
years. Some copies came in a box set housing a limited
edition Corgi model of Bessie, the Third Doctors vintage roadster. A special edition of the DVD, with new
bonus features, was released in the UK on 13 February

5.2 The Five Doctors

The Five Doctors is a special feature-length episode of
produced in celebration of the programmes 20th anniversary. It had its world premiere in the United States, on
the Chicago PBS station WTTW and various other PBS
member stations on 23 November 1983,[2] the anniversary date. It was transmitted in the United Kingdom two
days later.
The episode aired after the conclusion of the 20th season to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Patrick Troughton
and Jon Pertwee reprised their roles as the Second and
Third Doctors respectively. Richard Hurndall portrayed
the First Doctor, as the characters original actor, William
Flavia and the Castellan, learn of the reactivation of the

Death Zone, the abduction of the Doctors former selves
from the time line, and the drain of power from the Eye
of Harmony resulting from those. They reluctantly agree
to call the Master to assist the Doctors in the Death Zone,
oering him a pardon and a new set of regenerations
should he cooperate. The Master agrees, and accepts a
copy of the Seal of the High Council to prove to the Doctors that he is working for them, and a transmat device
that he can use to escape the Death Zone. In the Death
Zone, the Master rst encounters the Third Doctor, who
accuses him of faking the Seal, and then the Fifth Doctor; when they are attacked by Cybermen, the Master is
knocked out. The Fifth Doctor discovers the transmat
device and uses it to return to the Capitol, where he is
informed of the situation by the Council. The Doctor,
suspecting foul play, discovers that the transmat device
included a homing beacon that would lure the Cybermen
to it, and the Castellan is arrested on charges of being a
traitor. A search of the Castellans chambers reveals the
Black Scrolls of Rassilon, purportedly containing forbidden Time Lord knowledge. Borusa burns the scrolls and
orders the Castellan to be mind probed for interrogation,
but the Castellan escapes and is shot down by a Citadel
guard. Borusa considers the matter closed, but the Doctor condes in Flavia his doubts. When the two try to nd
Borusa in the Council room, they nd him missing. The
Doctor discovers a secret room, where he nds Borusa
at the controls of the Time Scoop. Borusa desires to be
President Eternal of Gallifrey and is intent on seeking immortality from the Tomb of Rassilon, which is hidden in
the tower in the Death Zone. He had brought the Doctor
5.2. THE FIVE DOCTORS

and his former selves to the tower in order to clear the various hazards and traps within. Borusa uses the Coronet of
Rassilon to overpower the Doctors will, taking momentary control of him.
Meanwhile, in the Death Zone, the other three incarnations of the Doctor have entered the tower through separate points, passed the various traps, and have converged
in the Tomb, and reacquaint themselves with the various companions. They decipher a message in ancient
Gallifreyan whilst inside Rassilons Tomb, describing that
anyone who wants immortality is free to take it by wearing Rassilons ring, but warns that to lose is to win and
he who wins shall lose. The Master appears and tries
to take the ring, but the Doctors companions overpower
him. The Doctors are then able to disable the eld preventing the TARDIS from materialising in the tower, and
it shortly arrives. They contact the Citadel, where the
controlled Fifth Doctor instructs them to wait. Borusa
and the Fifth Doctor transmat into the tomb, Borusa subjecting the Doctors companions to a force eld to prevent them from interfering. The other Doctors try to ght
against the power of Borusas mind with the Coronet, but
they are interrupted by the voice of Rassilon. Borusa asserts to Rassilon that he is here for immortality, and while
the other Doctors attempt to stop him, the First Doctor
tells them to hold o. Borusa dons the ring, but soon
screams out in pain as he is transformed into living rock
as part of Rassilons Tomb, the fate described by the riddle, which the First Doctor had gured out. Rassilons
spirit returns the Master to his own time, and frees the
Fourth Doctor from the Time Vortex; the other Doctors
quickly refuse Rassilons oer of immortality for them.
The Doctors depart, leaving the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, and
Turlough alone. However, they are soon joined by Flavia
and Citadel guards; Flavia insists that with Borusas disappearance, the Council appoint the Doctor as President,
an oer he cannot refuse by Gallifreyan law. Hesitant to
take power, the Doctor orders Flavia back to the Citadel,
where she will have power until he returns in his TARDIS,
and quickly departs. The Doctor notes to his companions
that Flavia will remain in power for a long time, as he
has no intention of returning to Gallifrey any time soon.
When Tegan asks if he is really going to run from his
people he states, Why not? After all...thats how it all
started!".
Continuity
This is only the second time in the classic series history
that there was a pre-credits sequence. Castrovalva (1982)
was the rst such story. Subsequently, Time and the Rani
(1987) and Remembrance of the Daleks (1988) also featured pre-credits teasers. The pre-credits sequence became a regular occurrence starting with the 2005 series
episode "The End of the World".
When asked by the Third Doctor as to whether he has
regenerated again, the Master says, Not exactly, ref-

erencing his stealing of Tremas body, as seen in the
Fourth Doctor story The Keeper of Traken (1981). The
First Doctor does not quite recognise the Master, and has
to be reminded of their time at the Academy together.
The Third Doctor does recognise him, however, though it
seems not as easily as usual. The Second Doctor also appears to recognise the Master without hesitation, as does
the Brigadier. Three incarnations of Borusa previously
appeared in The Deadly Assassin, The Invasion of Time
and Arc of Innity.
One of the defences in the Tower of Rassilon is a red
and white checked electried oor pattern, similar to one
appearing in the Exxilon city in Death to the Daleks, the
only dierence being the shapes of the coloured patches.
In that serial, the Third Doctor used a coin to test the oor
with Belal as an onlooker, just as in this story the First
Doctor used several coins to test the oor with Tegan as
an onlooker.
Dinah Sheridan makes a guest appearance as Flavia. The
character has subsequently been mentioned in spin-o
ction as becoming President of the High Council and
then subsequently removed from oce due to a scandal
(as detailed in the New Adventures novel, Happy Endings). In the new series, a musical cue composed by
Murray Gold with ethereal sounding vocals is jokingly
referred to as Flavias Theme by the production team,
who say it is Flavias voice singing out from the time vortex.
One of the jewels from the Coronet of Rassilon would
later play an important part in the Big Finish Productions
Bernice Summereld adventure The Crystal of Cantus.
The Fifth Doctors sequence in the novel The Eight Doctors featuring the Eighth Doctor going through his own
past to meet and assist his other selves takes place after this episode, the Fifth Doctor travelling to the Eye
of Orion to continue their earlier holiday only to be attacked by a renegade Time Lord from the Eighth Doctors era using the Timescoop, forcing the two Doctors to
defeat a Raston Warrior Robot and a Sontaran squadron.
The Big Finish audio The Five Companions takes place
during this adventure. After the Fifth Doctor takes the
transmat device from the Master, he is drawn o course
to a pocket dimension where more friends and enemies
have been scooped, but not used in the Death Zone. The
Doctor contacts the Time Lords to remedy the situation,
at which point he continues his journey to the Time Lord
Capital.
Footage of the Second and Third Doctors taken from The
Five Doctors was subsequently used in the 2013 episode

The original script featured an appearance by the Autons,

into the Death Zone, Sarah would have been attacked by

dropped and replaced in the nished version. Just before
she meets the Third Doctor, Sarah falls a few feet down

but for budgetary reasons the sequence was changed.

from the end of The Dalek Invasion of Earth. After initially agreeing to take part, Tom Baker declined to return
so soon after his departure from the series two years before, a decision he would later say he regretted, so his appearance was pieced together from unused footage from
the unaired serial Shada.
In early drafts of the script, some of the Doctor and
companion combinations were dierent. Originally, the
Fourth Doctor would have been paired with Sarah Jane,
the Third Doctor with the Brigadier and the Second Doctor with Jamie.[9] When Frazer Hines proved unavailable
for more than a cameo appearance the script had to be
altered, pairing the Second Doctor with Victoria Watereld. This was revised again when Deborah Watling
became unavailable and Tom Baker decided not to appear, resulting in the pairings as they were screened. Instead of meeting phantoms of Jamie and Zoe, the Second Doctor and the Brigadier were originally scripted to
meet Zoe and Victoria. The Doctor would have realised
the truth about them when Victoria called LethbridgeStewart Brigadier, when she only knew him as a Colonel
(in The Web of Fear). Deborah Watling was unable to
make the recording dates but Frazer Hines was able to
free himself up for a days shooting, so Jamie was written
in instead.
The story was prepared in two formats: the ninety-minute

version and a four-part version, the latter designed for international distribution or repeat broadcasting in the ordinary series run. The episode breaks were, respectively:
Sarah falling down the slope; the Cybermen placing their
bomb outside the TARDIS while Susan and Turlough
watch; and the Master appearing behind the First Doctor
and Tegan while in the Dark Tower. This is the only programme from the classic series of Doctor Who for which

The Five Doctors was rst broadcast in the United States

on the actual date of the programmes 20th anniversary.
The broadcast in the United Kingdom was delayed two
days so it could coincide with the BBCs Children in Need
charity night, with an outro in character by Peter Davison.
There were a few segments in the BBC broadcast that had
not been shown in the US airing
A four-part-serial version of the story was shown on BBC

as its largely a collection of set pieces without a great
deal of substance. This is Terrance Dicks loving tribute to a series that he helped to mould and, as such,
contains everything that it should.[16] In The Television
Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James
Walker stated that The Five Doctors is not as bad as
it could have been ...[but] the story fairly groans at the
seams with the inclusion of so many 'old favourites.
Still, they felt that it worked as a one-o fun celebration, although it was disappointed that not all ve Doctors participated, and one of the four who did was not
played by the original actor.[17] In 2012, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times found the serial fun and with a lot of
love, though he noted Pertwee and Sarah Jane fared less
well than some of the others. He also called it Anthony
Ainleys most eective outing and praised the ecient
scripting and other aspects of production aside from Moffatts sedate direction.[18] DVD Talk's Stuart Galbraith
gave the story four out of ve stars, nding Hurndalls
performance as the First Doctor the shows biggest, most
delightful surprise.[19] Writing for io9, Alasdair Wilkins
