Over the weekend, see classic clips of Doctor Who stories with More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS. In theory, Resistance Is Useless would air afterwards, but I'm not certain about that. During the week, The War Games continues. The 2nd Doctor and company battle a race that wants to use humans as an intergalactic army. To determine the most competent humans, they are making the people fight the most savage wars of history, and picking the survivors. The last 2 episodes air as a double feature on Friday. In those episodes, the Doctor is in a real bind. He can only end the games and send the humans home if he calls in his own people. If he does, they will catch him and punish him for his own actions.
