WTTW split the story into two parts, with the break occuring just before the end of episode three when Sarah says that she'll come quietly from the village. [source: ChicagoEpguides]

Intro: Tonight, in the conclusion of "Planet of the Spiders," the confrontation moves to Earth, then back to Metebelis Three, then back to Earth for a regeneration. But, will it be too late?

Outro: Regeneration accomplished, the new Doctor will be with us for some time, but he has little time to spare before a group of scientific crackpots challenge him with the "Robot," next Sunday night at 11. [source: ChicagoEpguides]
