Introduction:
Now on Forces TV it's sci-fi time. Blake's 7 finished last night, but we've gone back to the BBC Archives for some classic Doctor Who! Here's the episode that introduced Jon Pertwee's Doctor in 1970. It was the first episode made in colour and because of an industrial dispute made entirely on location. Part One of Spearhead From Space/.
During end credits:
A standard Forces TV caption at the bottom appeared during the final scene to indicate "Next: Doctor Who", and then towards the end of the credits to indicate "Next: Doctor Who, Then The One Game".
Ad breaks:
An ad break occurs between the scenes of Doctor Henderson checking up on the unconcious Doctor and the Brigadier/Liz arriving at the hospital.
