Most of the week goes to the final complete Hartnell story. The Doctor returns Dodo to London, and matches wits with the ultimate computer, an evil being that plans to rule the Earth by having all computers work together. This is also known as the Internet. At the end of the week, it's the most famous missing story, rediscovered in Hong Kong in 1991. Tomb Of The Cybermen, a 2ndDoctor story that never aired in Canada until SPACE picked up the series. An expedition travels to Telos to unearth the tombs where the Cybermen went to die. As the tricks and traps of the tombs slowly kill the archaeologists, the 2nd Doctor fears that the Cybermen are not as deceased as history believes.
