Doctor Who wound up its first season with episode one of "The Reign of Terror," written by Dennis Spooner. Assuming that they've returned to 1964 England, the TARDIS crew instead finds itself in 18th century France at the height of the Revolution. The first episode in this six-part story arc ends with the Doctor (William Hartnell) trapped in a burning house, and his companions -- Ian (William Russell), Barbara (Jacqueline Hill), and Susan (Carole Ann Ford) -- caught in a power struggle between fanatical revolutionaries and a moderate underground movement. First telecast on August 8, 1964, "A Land of Fear" is one of four episodes of "The Reign of Terror" still known to exist. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
