Mon 6:05PM The Ark - The Bomb ep 4 of 4

Tue 6:05PM The Gunfighters - A Holiday For The Doctor ep 1 of 4
Wed 6:05PM The Gunfighters - Don't Shoot The Pianist ep 2 of 4

A rotten sweet from the previous story (missing from the BBC archives) leaves the 1st Doctor with a bad tooth in need of pulling. Arriving in Tombstone in 1881, the Doctor seeks a dentist. Alas, the only dentist in town is the infamous Doc Holliday, who has a date with destiny near the OK Corral. And he looks more like the Doctor than the Daleks' robot did. Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon sung by Lynda Barron.
