This week's featured story is - you guessed it - The War Games. The epic saga that changed the face of Doctor Who, in more ways than one. The TARDIS and the sonic screwdriver are there, but the recorder is conspicuously missing from most of the adventure. Episode 10 of this story is responsible for several Who scenes surviving the 70s junkings. The water scene comes from Fury From the Deep. The Zoe scene is the alternate ending to The Wheel In Space. And the Jamie scene is the alternate ending of The Highlanders.
