Early, early Monday or late, late Sunday, the 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki try to escape the Aridians before they are handed over to vengeful Daleks. If they escape, the Daleks will kill the Aridians. The regular weekday episodes begin with the end of the last complete 1st Doctor story. The Doctor develops a plan to outwit WOTAN, but time is running out. The week concludes with 'Tomb Of The Cybermen', the famous lost story recovered in 1992. The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria join an expedition searching for the last resting place of the Cybermen. But two of the archaeologists on the team have a more sinister motive. Until a few weeks ago, these episodes were the newest recovered ones.
