Fun and frolic with the 1st Doctor. Sunday morning he tries to outwit the Animus, a being that has taken over Vortis. Monday and Tuesday the Doctor and his miniaturized crew discover a plot to bring a dangerous insecticide onto the world market. Of course, only being an inch tall makes getting help rather difficult. Episode 3 was filmed as two complete episodes, then condensed into one for some reason before broadcast. The cut material was destroyed. The rest of the week features the Doctor and company battling the Daleks on 22nd Century Earth.
