Galaxy Four

Episodes:

When the TARDIS lands on an arid planet, it seems as though the whole place is desolate and lifeless. But then the Doctor, Steven and Vicki discover two crashed spaceships: one contains the Drahvins, a race of stunning beauty, the other contains the hideous Rills. However, as the team soon find out, appearances can be deceptive. It emerges that behind the beauty of the Drahvins hides a colony hides a colony of mindless clones who are controlled by the cruel, powerful matriarch Maaga, whereas the ugly Rills are friendly and intelligent explorers.

The Rills tell the Doctor that the dried-up planet is about to die. Back in the the control room of the TARDIS, he discovers they are right, but things are worse than they thought. There is only one day of life left - one day to escape.

With the Drahvins' ship damaged beyond repair, can the Rills get off the planet before the evil Maaga hijacks their craft in her own effort to escape?

Mission to the Unknown

Episodes:

Space Agent Mark Cory lands on a dangerous jungle planet known as Kemble and discovers that the Daleks are there in force and involved in a sinister plan. This episode is a preview of The Daleks' Masterplan where the Daleks assemble an intergalactic alliance ready to invade Earth's galaxy.

The Myth Makers

Episodes:

The Doctor has adopted many guises in his time, but to be hailed as the great god Zeus is a bit of a shock. Yet this is exactly what happens when the TARDIS lands on the plains of Asia Minor; not far from the city of Troy. Taken to the Greek camp by Achilles, the Doctor is introduced to Agamemnon and Odysseus and forced to admit his less-than-godlike status. He is then given just two days to come up with a strategy for defeating the Trojans.

Meanwhile, Steven and Vicki have been taken prisoner by the other side. The Trojans are convinced that Vicki is a spy - and to prove her loyalty she must concoct a plan to defeat the Greeks! Like the Doctor, she has just two days to do it.

Luckily for the Doctor, a certain someone has already devised a scheme for beating the Trojans. Even if the wooden horse was invented for a piece of fiction written in the eighth century, it still works. As the opposing forces come face to face in a climactic battle, there are dangers aplenty for both Steven and Vicki. By the time the TARDIS moves away again, it will have both lost and gained a crew member...

The Daleks' Masterplan

Episodes:

"We at this table pledge our allegiance to the Dalek cause. Our armies will reduce the galaxies to ashes, their people to dust. And Earth we will conquer first!"

In their quest to gain control of the Solar System, the Daleks have taken possession of the Time Destructor, a weapon which threatens the safely of all who stand in their way. They have formed an alliance with the Outer Galaxies, all of them bent on destroying the human race, and called a council of delegates to their base on the planet Kembel. In their midst is none other than Mavic Chen, treacherous Guardian of the Solar System.

When the Doctor learns the extent of the Daleks' plan, he steals the taranium core which powers the weapon- without it their conquest cannot begin. Together with two agents of the 41st Century's Space Security Service, the TARDIS crew is pursued across volcanoes and deserts, through jungles and futuristic cities, and to London, Egypt and even Hollywood. As the Daleks close in and the stakes become progressively higher, allies and enemies are won and lost. Shockingly, not all of the Doctor's companions will escape with their lives...

The Massacre

Episodes:

The TARDIS materializes in Paris in 1572, a time of great danger and religious strife. Whilst the Doctor pays a visit to famous apothecary Charles Preslin, Steven is befriended by a group of Protestants who come from the household of Admiral de Coligny. Meanwhile, the Catholic Queen Mother, Catherine de Medici, aided by the hated dignitary the Abbot of Amboise, is hatching a plot to kill all French Protestants - starting with de Coligny. Worryingly for Steven, the Abbot bears an uncanny resemblance to the Doctor. And when the plot fails and the Abbot is condemned to death, he is even more alarmed. Was that the Doctor being killed? Or does the Abbot just look like him?

The Ark

Episodes:

The survival of humanity hangs in the balance in this four-part adventure spanning seven centuries. The Earth is about to plunge into the Sun, and all life has taken refuge on a huge celestial ark prepared to undertake a 700 year journey to a new home. But a common cold threatens the voyage and the Doctor barely finds a cure in time. With the Ark underway, the TARDIS travels into the future to board the craft as it nears the end of its journey. Here, the Doctor finds a new disease: an epidemic of racial injustice dividing the travelers into slaves and rulers. Unless he can persuade them to live in peace, their journey will have been in vain.

The Celestial Toymaker

Episodes:

"You will become my perpetual opponent. We shall play endless games together - your brain against mine." -- The Toymaker

In the domain of the Toymaker nothing is quite as it seems - as becomes apparent when the TARDIS materializes inside. The Doctor seems well-acquainted with the mysterious mandarin's penchant for deadly distractions, but now with companions Steven and Dodo in tow the stakes are even higher. Failure to triumph in a series of games will result in them being trapped for eternity in a strange realm where innocuous seeming nursery characters reveal lethal intent.

Steven and Dodo's desperation to regain the TARDIS increases with every round of blind man's bluff and musical chairs they play. In each game they are faced by dangerous opponents and deadly allies - the clowns Joey and Clara, the King and Queen of Hearts, a mischievous schoolboy and a legion of silent, walking dolls...

The Doctor, rendered invisible and challenged to complete the fiendishly difficult Trilogic Game, can only watch his friends' plight from afar. Who will be the first to make a false move in this battle of wits, and will the TARDIS ever escape the Toymaker's snare?

The Gunfighters

Episodes:

The TARDIS arrives in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881. The Doctor, suffering from toothache, seeks out the local dentist - the notorious Doc Holliday. Meanwhile, Steven and Dodo decide to explore the town, and soon find themselves in the Last Chance Saloon... Tensions are running high between the feuding Clanton family and Doc Holliday, whilst the local lawman, Wyatt Earp, struggles to keep the peace. When legendary gunman Johnny Ringo comes to town, events start to escalate... Can the Doctor, Steven and Dodo do anything to stop the situation getting any worse? Or will there be a gunfight at the OK Corral?

The Savages

Episodes:

"We have reached the distant horizon of an age of peace and prosperity!"

When the TARDIS materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The travellers soon discover that the planet's population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders - who inhabit a technologically advanced city - seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated Savages.

Whilst the Elders' leader, Jano, welcomes the Doctor into their society, Dodo stumbles upon a dark secret at the heart of the community. The truth behind the Elders' great knowledge is eventually revealed, and the Doctor sees it as his duty to end a terrible case of exploitation. Yet Jano has plans of his own for the Doctor...

The War Machines

Cast:

When the TARDIS materializes in the shadows of London's soaring Post Office Tower, the Doctor senses a strange, evil energy in the air. The mystery of its origins only deepens when he finds a driven professor and a super computer, WOTAN, occupying a suite high atop the tower. With the computer about to be connected to a worldwide network, the discovery of a warehouse filled with deadly robots finally makes the puzzle----and its horrific implications---chillingly clear.
