In the conclusion of the pivotal ten-part story "The War Games," the Doctor has successfully thwarted the universe-conquering schemes of the War Lord (Philip Madoc). In doing so, however, he has violated his own ethics, and now finds himself hunted down by his own race, the Time Lords. Captured, the Doctor is subjected to a trial, the outcome of which will profoundly alter not only his own existence, but also the lives of his traveling companions Jamie and Zoe. It can be safely stated that every Doctor Who fan in good standing already knows how this particular story ended. For the benefit of the uninitiated, we will observe only that "The War Games, Episode 10," written by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks, was originally telecast on June 21, 1969 as the final episode of Doctor Who's sixth season, and represented the series swan song for regulars Patrick Troughton (the Doctor), Frazer Hines (Jamie), and Wendy Padbury (Zoe). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the fifth episode of the six-part story "The Wheel in Space," the battle between the Cybermen and the Earthlings continues to rage on the Space Wheel defense station. Just when it seems as if things cannot get much worse, the Wheel is bombarded by a meteor storm. Scripted by David Whitaker from a story by Kit Parker, "The Wheel in Space, Part 5" first aired on May 25, 1968; this episode apparently no longer exists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the third episode of the six-part story "The Wheel in Space," the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) tries to help the crew of the Space Wheel defense station fend off attacks from the Cybermen, while Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury) embark upon a dangerous mission to retrieve an important TARDIS component. Things take a disastrous turn when the Cybermats, the well-armed advance guard of the Cybermen, arrive on the deck of the Wheel. Scripted by David Whitaker from a story by Kit Parker, "The Wheel in Space, Part 3" first aired on May 11, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Scripted by David Whitaker from a story by Kit Parker, the six-episode Doctor Who adventure "The Wheel in Space" begins with the TARDIS materializing inside a drifting rocket called the Silver Carrier. The Doctor (Patrick Troughton) quickly determines that the derelict rocket is within the orbit of a huge wheel-shaped space station. But this information does him little good when he and Jamie (Frazer Hines) are attacked by mysterious assailants. "The Wheel in Space, Episode 1" first aired on April 27, 1968; apparently, this episode no longer exists, except for a brief flash shot of the Space Wheel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the second episode of the four-part story "The Savages," the Doctor (William Hartnell) wants to learn the secret of the "perfect" advanced civilization which has built huge walls to protect itself against a race of primitive savages. He eventually discovers that the so-called civilized inhabitants have kept themselves mentally and physically vibrant by sapping the life forces from the savages outside their gates. First telecast on June 4, 1966, "The Savages, Episode 2" was written by Stuart Black; this episode apparently no longer exists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
