In the second episode of the three-part story "Silver Nemesis," the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) attempt to retrieve the deadly statue Nemesis, which threatens the earth with utter destruction. In this effort, the two time-travelers run into formidable opposition in the form of 17th century aristocrat Lady Peinforte (Fiona Walker), a group of neo-Nazis, and the Doctor's perennial enemies, the Cybermen. Written by Kevin Clarke, "Silver Nemesis, Episode 2" originally aired on November 30, 1988. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of the two-part story "Attack of the Cybermen" (originally telecast on January 12, 1985), the title characters have captured the TARDIS, making it difficult for the Doctor (Colin Baker) to prevent the Cybermen from destroying the Earth with Halley's Comet. The crisis intensifies with the presence of Gustave Litton (Maurice Colbourne), a double agent in the employ of the friendly Cryons, whose own agenda is dangerously altered when he is partially converted into a Cyberman. Sarah Greene, host of the popular British TV series Saturday Superstore, makes a guest appearance as one of the Cryon women. Written by Paula Woolsey, "Attack of the Cybermen" was originally telecast in two 45-minute installments; for American consumption, the adventure was re-edited as a four-part cliffhanger. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who celebrated its 20th anniversary with the 90-minute special "The Five Doctors." The life of the present Doctor (Peter Davison) is jeopardized when his four previous incarnations -- played by William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, and Tom Baker -- are taken out of time by an illegal Time Scoop. Even worse, the five doctors are confronted by a seemingly endless series of past enemies, included Daleks, Cybermen, and Yetis. The climax takes place in the Forbidden Zone on Gallifrey, where the instigator of the aforementioned time-scooping forces the five doctors to engage in the potentially deadly Game of Rassilon. Can any of the doctors save themselves -- and if not, will robot dog K-9 come galloping to the rescue? The late William Hartnell appeared only in clips from the second-season episode "Invasion of Earth: Flashpoint"; he was replaced in the body of the 20th anniversary special by Richard Hurndall. Written by Terrance Dicks, "The Five Doctors" was first presented in America on November 23, 1983, two days before its British TV debut. Since that time, it has been reedited into a four-part cliffhanger for syndication. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of the four-part story "Earthshock," the leader of the Cybermen intends to destroy the earth by forcing the crash-landing of a huge, heavily armed space vessel. The Doctor (Peter Davison), Tegan (Janet Fielding), and Nyssa (Sarah Sutton), all locked in the TARDIS, are unable to prevent this catastrophe. It is up to Adric (Matthew Waterhouse) to save the day -- and without giving away the ending, it should be noted that this episode represented Adric's final Doctor Who appearance, at least until a surprise guest-shot in the 21st season adventure "The Curse of Androzani." Written by Eric Saward, "Earthshock, Episode 4" originally aired on March 16, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the second episode of the four-part story "Earthshock," the Doctor (Peter Davison) and two of his companions are held responsible when four 26th century paleontologists disappear. The actual culprits turn out to be a brace of blank-faced robots who are jealously guarding a giant bomb within a huge cave. Clearly, the robots are acting under someone's orders -- but whose? Written by Eric Saward, "Earthshock, Episode 2" originally aired on March 9, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
