In the fourth episode of the ten-part story "The War Games," the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and his companions are still on an Earth-like planet populated entirely by soldiers from different countries and different wars. Connecting with an underground resistance movement, the Doctor learns that the soldiers have been hypnotized into thinking that they're actually on Earth, and have also been hypnotized into fighting one another, without question, to the death. Only the Resistance seems to know the reason behind all this -- but the Doctor will himself learn the truth, all in good time! Written by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks, "The War Games, Episode 4" first aired on May 10, 1969. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
