Some of the earliest Doctor Who episodes air in Canada this week. In Daleks, the Doctor tries to convince the Thals to fight the Daleks before the Daleks wipe them all out. In Edge, the TARDIS is disabled and the crew's memories are affected. Rampant paranoia ensues as they try to figure out which of them damaged the TARDIS. The week ends with the Doctor and company being blackmailed into searching for keys to a giant machine that guarantees peace and order on Marinus.
