Last rerun in 1987. The SRS decides to hold Earth to nuclear ransom, manipulating the Robot as an instrument of terror.
Mon-Tue The Ark In Space eps 1 - 4 of 4
Last rerun in 1987. A race of intergalactic parasites infiltrates a spaceship where humanity sleeps away, waiting for a signal to revive. Perfect food for a budding race. Unless the Doctor intervenes.
