Classic William Hartnell black and white adventures. Sunday sees the Menoptera making an assault to retake Vortis. Failure means death. During the first part of the week, the Doctor, David Campbell, and company lead the fight to retake Earth from the Daleks. Failure means death. At the end of the week the Doctor and company arrive on the planet Dido, home of a peace-loving race. So why does the evidence suggest that they virtually wiped out a ship of humans? The Doctor must solve the riddle. Failure means death.
