Thu 6:06PM The War Machines ep 2 of 4
Mon 6:02PM The War Machines ep 3 of 4
Tue 6:02PM The War Machines ep 4 of 4
In the final 1st Doctor story complete enough for the syndicated package, the 1st Doctor must stop the insane computer WOTAN before its surrogate machines declare war on humanity. This story sees the departure of the character of Dodo Chaplet and the introduction of Ben Jackson and Polly Lopez/Wright/last name disputed. Since no stories from the 1966-1967 series are currently complete, the entire rest of the Ben & Polly stories will not air. During this gap, the Cybermen appear for the first time as villains, the Doctor has a "regeneration" and Patrick Troughton assumes the role, an 18th Century Scottish piper named Jamie joins the crew, and finally a Victorian girl named Victoria.
Wed 6:02PM The Tomb of the Cybermen ep 1 of 4
The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria land on the planet Telos, where an archaeological expedition believes they have found the place where the Cybermen died out once and for all.
