In the second episode of the six-part story "The Enemy of the World," the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) has arrived on earth in the year 2017 A.D. Rescued from certain death by helicopter pilot Astrid (Mary Peach), the Doctor is informed by Astrid's boss, Kent (Bill Kerr), that the world is on the verge of domination by a charismatic scientist/politician named Salamander. The fact that the Doctor is a dead ringer for Salamander (indeed, both roles are played by Troughton) leads to several even more perplexing plot developments: Who among Kerr's staff can be trusted not to betray their comrades to Salamander's minions, and is Salamander truly the despotic villain that he is made out to be? Written by David Whitaker, "The Enemy of the World, Episode 2" first aired on December 30, 1967; this episode is presently unavailable. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
