Broadcast notes:
Intro: "You're watching our superb Who on Horror weekend, and as the 60s merged into the 70s our time-travelling hero steps from black and white into the world of colour in our next Doctor Who adventure Terror of the Autons. Originally broadcast in 1971, it's now the turn of the popular Jon Pertwee to put his stamp on the Doctor, and with it he wore frilly shirts and Venusian aikido, making the Doctor an action hero to be reckoned with. Terror of the Autons also provides a sense of social commentary posing the question if the 70s brought us plastic what would happen if it turned against us? Get ready for cables that strangle and inflatable chairs that suffocate. Have your say on Twitter using #WhoOnHorror. Time now to sit back and enjoy more Doctor Who..."
