Series 7, Episodes 14 through 17. Doctor: Jon Pertwee. Black & White version. The 3rd Doctor doesn't think that the astronauts really returned to Earth. In that case, who did? And why are people prepared to kill to keep the men in spacesuits isolated from the space agency and the Doctor? Murder, deception, kidnaping, and a doomed space launch highlight four classic taut episodes of the early Jon Pertwee era.
