Two bizarre meteor showers convince Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart that another alien invasion is on the way. The arrival of the TARDIS makes him more certain. But the funny little man with dark hair that he remembers is gone, and replaced with a stranger he doesn't recognize. Can this tall pile of rudeness really be the Doctor? Episode 1 was the first made in color.
