In the lively comedy/adventure Travels with My Aunt, adapted from Graham Green's book, Henry (Alec McCowan), a timid, bookish accountant whose life seems to have died stillborn, discovers how to live with gusto thanks to the rough ministrations of his thoroughly eccentric aunt Augusta (Maggie Smith). Aunt Augusta bursts into Henry's life during the funeral for his mother, Augusta's sister. She whisks him to her apartment for a general cheering up, and he is thoroughly bemused by her bohemian ways and her much-younger black Caribbean boyfriend. In the next few hours, she manages to pry him from his dusty life and involve him in a series of incredible adventures involving old love affairs, espionage, kidnappings, and more money than he has ever dreamt of. Before the story ends, Henry has properly gotten into the spirit of his madcap aunt's adventuring. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In the conclusion of the four-part story "The Claws of Axos," the Doctor successfully tricks the Axons into outwitting themselves. At the very least, this will save the earth's nourishment from being totally depleted. But the Doctor is less successful in capturing his elusive rival, the Master (Roger Delgado) -- nor can he persuade Mankind to stop behaving so foolishly as to allow such characters as the Axons and the Master to perpetrate their mischief. First telecast March 20, 1971, "The Claws of Axos, Episode 3" was written by Bob Baker and David Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the second episode of the four-part story "The Claws of Axos," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is not entirely trustful of the visitors from Axos, who have come to earth bearing a food-replenishing element called Axonite. As it turns out, the Doctor's insticts are right on target; in league with the Master (Roger Delgado), the aliens intend to strip the earth of its own nourishment -- and the dumb earthlings unwittingly cooperate every inch of the way. First telecast March 20, 1971, "The Claws of Axos, Episode 2" was written by Bob Baker and David Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season five of Doctor Who began on September 2, 1967, with chapter one of the four-part "The Tomb of the Cybermen." That tomb is located on the planet Telos, where the Doctor (Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Frazer Hines), and Victoria Waterfield (Deborah Watling) have joined an archeological expedition. The time travellers assume that the planet is dead and deserted; suffice to say that they are wrong. Doctor Who: The Tomb of the Cybermen, Episode 1 was written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
