Friday night insomniacs can enjoy not one, but 2 William Hartnell stories. The Rescue picks up after Susan departs the TARDIS. The ship lands on a planet where 2 humans are marooned. Apparently the rest of the crew were slaughtered by the Didoans. But the Doctor remembers the Didoans as a peace loving race. Once that confusion is settled, the Doctor and company take a vacation in 1st Century Italy. Emperor Nero, court intrigue, slavery, death, and fire await them. Sunday morning the VCR can catch the final story of the Key To Time saga. 2 planets engaged in a devastating war. The key to peace is one planet's princess (Lalla Ward in first Who appearance). But when the Doctor learns the truth behind the war, he may be forced to kill her.
