Doctor Who goes to 7 days a week beginning with Saturday, April 24th, presumably to burn off their remaining episodes sooner. In the first story, the 1st Doctor goes to Tombstone, AZ in search of a dentist. Unfortunately, he bears a slight resemblance to the dentist, who happens to be the infamous Doc Holliday. And it so happens that a bunch of outlaws are out to kill Doc Holliday. 'So take up the call boys, the time will be soon / When there's blood upon the sawdust of the Last Chance Saloon!' In The War Machines, the 1st Doctor and Dodo return to 1966, where they meet WOTAN, the ultimate computer. Well, now we know where they got the idea for Hal 5000 from.
