Most of the week goes to The Mind Robber, where the Doctor and company find themselves outside of reality. The episodes really are as short as they seem - they aren't cut. As the week ends, the TARDIS lands on the planet of the Gonds, a race of people educated by a machine that takes the two brightest students of every graduating class - and kills them.
