Classic 1st Doctor episodes. Sunday the TARDIS is dragged down to a planet with a thin atmosphere where the laws of physics appear to be on vacation. In The Aztecs, Barbara tries to change the course of Aztec history to ensure their survival, against the Doctor's strenuous objections. In The Sensorites, the TARDIS lands on a ship perpetually orbiting a planet. The people onboard aren't dead, but they can't wake up. And then it gets weird.
