Ken Jones starred in this British sitcom as ne'er-do-well Billy Clarkson who, after being released from jail, returned to his home in Liverpool.

Not only were his relatives evenly divided between Catholics and Protestants, they also bickered endlessly over the relative merits of the Liverpool and Everton football clubs. The Wackers ran for six episodes, which aired from March 19 to April 23, 1975. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of the four-part story "The Time Warrior," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) has arrived in Medieval England in hopes of rescuing several kidnapped 20th century scientists. His efforts are impeded by Sontaran space warrior Lynx (Kevin D. Lindsay) and pirate chieftan Irongron (David Daker). But help arrives in the form of a primitve but most effective weapon, bringing this story to an explosive climax. Worth noting is the fact that the Doctor identifies his home planet, Gallifrey, by name for the first time in the series (after 11 seasons on the air, it's about time). Written by Robert Holmes, Doctor Who: The Time Warrior, Episode 4 first aired on December 29, 1973. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Written by Robert Holmes, the four-part adventure "The Time Warrior" launched Doctor Who's 11th season on December 15 1973. The action begins when a Sontaran spaceship crash-lands in Medieval England, near the castle of the pirate Irongron (David Daker). Discovering that the locals do not have the technological information that he seeks, the space vessel's armor-wearing occupant (Kevin D. Lindsay) vanishes. Flash-forward to the 20th century, where the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and his UNIT colleagues are investigating the mysterious disappearances of several scientists. Also on hand is journalist Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen, making her series debut) who has bluffed her way into UNIT headquarters. Clearly, the events of the early "medieval" scenes and the 20th century intrigues at UNIT are soon going to merge in a highly dramatic fashion. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the third episode of the four-part story "The Time Warrior," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) arrive in Medieval England, where they locate several UNIT scientists who have been abducted from the 20th century by Sontaran warrior Lynx (Kevin D.

Thus, the Doctor has not one but two formidable opponents to contend with -- and, of course, poor Sarah is caught in the middle.
