Daleks emerge from the ship and leave the school to find the Hand of Omega.

Mike tries to present his point of view to Ace but she refuses to listen and Gilmore charges him with offences contrary to the official secrets act. The Imperial Daleks come under heavy fire from the Renegade Daleks.

In repsonse the Emperor Dalek orders the Special Weapons Dalek into position.

<blockquote>
The Special Weapons Dalek is the most radical Dalek variant seen since the Emperor in Evil of the Daleks. It's got a normal white & gold base, but very dirty. The upper half is a massive cannon, replacing the traditional sucker arm & gun stuck, topped with a dome, but without an eye stick. The original idea is that the Imperial Daleks would have a floating weapons platform but budget constraints reduced it to this. But I think he looks fab, a really decent design.

The Dalek Battle sequences take place on <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/windmillwalk target="_blank">Windmill Walk</a> and <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/woottonstreet target="_blank">Wootton Street</a>,
both close to <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_station target="_blank">Waterloo station</a>. Filming took place on Easter Bank Holiday Monday 4th April 1988. At this point in the program's history the special effects men were providing some very large explosions for the show. One particular blast set alarms off all over the area causing the emergency services to descend on the location in some force, fearing an IRA bomb, only to be confronted by Daleks emerging from the smoke!

The Doctor exploits a weakness in the shuttle's defences and abseils down to an undefended hatch on the top.

He immobilises the Dalek pilot and disables the ship's defences. Mike escapes from the school cellar. The Doctor probes the shuttle's computer and learns that the Daleks have returned to Skaro. Mike reaches Ratcliffe's yard & warehouse but is captured by the Daleks. The Renegade Daleks prepare to leave when the Imperial Daleks arrive and attack.

The Doctor tells Ace he's rigged the shuttle's communication relay so they can monitor Dalek transmissions. Mike & Ratcliffe steal the time controller, but Ratcliffe is killed by the battle computer's controller as they escape.

How is the girl from the battle computer projecting the electric bolts when she's not attached to the machine?
</blockquote>
The Doctor links a television set into the damaged transmat system. Rachel asks why two different sets of Daleks and The Doctor allows Ace to explain:
<blockquote>
Renegade Daleks are blobs.<br>
Imperial Daleks are bionic blobs with bits added.<br>
Well you can tell the Daleks are into racial purity.<br>
So one lot of Daleks reckon that the other lot of blobs are too different.<br>
Well they're mutants, not pure in their blobiness.

Doctor: Result?<br>
Ace: They hate each other's chromosomes! War to the death!
<P>
It's a superb description of the two and dead on. It takes the Daleks back to their roots: hating the Thals, the unalike, themes which are to the front in both the Daleks & Genesis of the Daleks. Now each group of Daleks is facing another group of Daleks that isn't Dalek enough according to each's definition. Now all the race related material in episode 2 suddenly fits in terms of the larger story.
</blockquote>
The Doctor & Ace leave Rachel & Allison in the cellar to go and see which blobs are winning.
<blockquote>
The nationalisation of the story moves the events of this episode round a little allowing Ace & The Doctor to see some of the battle. On page 137, when the Doctor asks Ace which side she think is winning after seeing the Special Weapons Dalek in action she replies "The Bazooka Blobs!"
</blockquote>
The Imperial Daleks on the ground report they have recovered the Hand of Omega and it follows them back to the shuttle.

Ace spots Mike carrying the time controller and pursues him. The shuttle returns to the mothership ....

.... and the Hand of omega is plugged into the control circuit. Gilmore asks to be let into plan but Doctor says it's a surprise. The Doctor contacts the Dalek Mothership and confronts the Emperor.

DOCTOR: Hello, hello, hello? Dalek mothership, come in please. Come in, please. Ah, there you are. This is the Doctor, President Elect of the High Council of Time Lords, Keeper of the legacy of Rassilon, Defender of the Laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey. I call upon you to surrender the Hand of Omega and return to your customary time and place.<br>
EMPEROR: Ah, Doctor. You have changed again. Your appearance is as inconstant as your intelligence. You have confounded me for the last time!<br>
<!--
DOCTOR [on screen]: Davros. I should have known. I see you've discarded the last vestige of your human form. Still no improvement.<br>
DAVROS: Save your insults for the weak-minded, Doctor.<br>
DOCTOR [on screen]: Will you return the Hand of Omega or not?<br>
DAVROS: Are you threatening me? If so, it is most unwise.<br>
DOCTOR [on screen]: Every time our paths have crossed, I have defeated you.

The Emperor's case slides back revealing him to be Davros.

<blockquote>
Just in case you hadn't figured out that the Emperor was Davros it's speech becomes more like Davros as his unveiling approaches!
<p>
The sixth Doctor's line in Revelation of the Daleks to Davros "with you as their Emperor?" now looks rather prophetic!
<p>
It worth pointing out now that the name of the actor credited as playing the Emperor in Episode 3, "Roy Tromelly", is of course an anagram of
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Molloy target="_blank">Terry Molloy</a>
who's playing Davros here just like he did in Resurrection & Revelation of the Daleks. He was also under cover policeman Russel in Attack of the Cybermen.

Ace returns to the boarding house where Mike pulls a gun on her.

The Doctor pleads with Davros not to use the Hand of Omega:
<blockquote>
DOCTOR: Davros, the Hand of Omega is not to be trifled with.<br>
DAVROS: I think I am quite capable of handling the technology.<br>
DOCTOR: I sincerely doubt that.<br>
DAVROS: Does it worry you, Doctor, that with it I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power? And with that power at my disposal, the Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey and its impotent quorum of Time Lords! The Daleks shall become Lords of Time! We shall become all-<p>

Davros activates the Omega device and it leaves for Skaro and it's Time Zone but when it encounters Skaro's sun the reaction goes out of control vaporising Skaro.

From the state of the planet in Destiny of the Daleks is probably safe to assume that there are no Thals left on Skaro.

Despite this War of the Daleks is a better read than his follow on novel <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_of_the_Daleks target="_blank">Legacy of the Daleks</a> but to be honest both are to be avoided.

Davros accuses Doctor of tricking him. The Device returns towards the Daleks ship as Davros pleads for pity.

The Supreme Dalek self destructs and the child collapses in the boarding house, freed from the Dalek influence.

Oh dear. The words "Insufficient data" and "cannot compute" are horrendous science fiction cliches. It's a weak link in the story, apparently replacing a sequence where the Doctor destroys the Supreme Dalek with a weapon. I can see that the Supreme needs to survive to this point as it's somehow linked to the child, but that never comes through until this point on screen. (it's much clearer in the novel)
<p>
Could it have been done better? Possibly: have the Supreme shooting at whatever comes near it, then the Doctor overcomes it using the device in episodes 2 & 3 before the army blow it up.

Sometime later Mike's funeral takes place but as the mourners process inside the chapel the Doctor & Ace, bringing up the rear slip away.

Remember I said that I'd never spotted that Gilmore was in the RAF? He's even wearing full RAF Uniform here.
<p>
This scene continues the run of the Doctor not entering the main body of a church. We don't think he does in The Smugglers and he definitely doesn't in the Daemons. He does in The Awakening but the building there is disused. It's probably a coincidence but an interesting one nonetheless....
<p>

Ace asks the Doctor if they did good. "Perhaps", he says, "time will tell, it always does".

Superb.
<p>
Not perfect:
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dursley_McLinden target="_blank">Dursley McLinden</a>
acting ain't great, the character of Allison, Rachel's assistant, is a little superfluous and spends the story on the sidelines, the Daleks wobble and the timing of all the sequences from the end of the second episode onwards is skewed by one little in joke.
<p>
But against that it's so much better than what was shown the year before to open the season. It's a story about something, race, that neither forces the subject down our throat or makes it so hidden to be invisible. Instead it's a good Doctor Who story with both action and character moments. It's got Daleks in it so people will want to watch it, and you can watch it, it obviously makes sense watching it (unlike certain other stories) and looks good on the screen. If I was only allowed to keep one McCoy Doctor Who it would be this one. And it's a first script from writer
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaronovitch" target="_blank">Ben Aaronovitch</a>!
<p>
Remembrance of the Daleks opens the 25th season of Doctor Who but isn't the official 25th anniversary story: that's Silver Nemesis. But it deserves to be, celebrating Doctor Who's past by setting the story the weekend that the first episode aired and filling it with references to the first episode and previous Dalek stories.
<p>
It's also, sadly, the final appearance of the Daleks in the original Doctor Who series. So we say goodbye to some of it's longest serving contributors: Dalek Operator
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Scott_Martin target="_blank">John Scott Martin</a>
has been inside the casing for almost every Dalek appearance since the Chase in 1965, but made his debut 3 stories earlier in The Web Planet as a Zarbi. Dalek voice artist
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Skelton target="_blank">Roy Skelton</a>
first voiced the Daleks in 1967's Evil of the Daleks, but had first provided voices during 1966's The Ark. John Scott Martin died on 6 January 2009 and Roy Skelton on 8 June 2011.
<p>
Ben Aaronovitch novelised his own script in June 1990, embellishing it with a considerable amount of detail not seen on the screen and giving an airing to some of the themes found in
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartmel_Masterplan target="_blank">"The Cartmel Masterplan"</a>.
It's well worth a read if you can find a copy.
<p>
The release of this story has a somewhat lengthy history: It's first release on video was in a Dalek tin to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary in September 1993 along with the Chase. It was re-released in September 2001 as part of the WH Smith exclusive Davros set along with Genesis of the Daleks, Destiny of the Daleks, Resurrection of the Daleks & Revelation of the Daleks.

was the 1st Seventh Doctor story and the fourth overall to be released on DVD on 26th February 2001.

"Weapons. Always useless in the end!"
<p>
The Doctor arrives with his disrupter device and immobilises the Daleks long enough for the army to deal with them using explosives.
<P><center><img src=https://farm1.staticflickr.com/935/41949597420_bc7429a64c_m.jpg width="240" height="180" alt="3a">

Rachel spots that one of the Mutants inside is still active and when the Doctor examines it he is grabbed by a claw which tries to strangle him.
<blockquote>
The claw emerging from the Dalek here look very similar to what we saw at the end of
<a href=http://50yearsdoctorwho.blogspot.com/2014/10/007-daleks-episode-3-escape.html target="_blank">Part 3 of the first Dalek Story</a>.

Alison, Rachel's assistant, clubs it to death with Ace's baseball bat. The Doctor notes that the mutant is more developed than those in the grey Daleks and has cyborg implants. On the Dalek Mothership an attack squad is prepared for deployment by Transmat but the Doctor destroys the Dalek transmat receiver in the cellar with the Baseball bat, which breaks.
<blockquote>
The Doctor's line to Allison & Rachel "You look hungry, how about lunch?" is a bit out of place as the action here must take place at around teatime on Saturday judging by when Ace left the house in the previous episode. It fits a lot better into
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaronovitch" target="_blank">Ben Aaronovitch's</a>
novelization which provides a better time line for events placing this scene a lot earlier on in the day.
</blockquote>
While Ratcliffe finds a grave marked with a Greek Omega, The Doctor sits in Harry's Cafe concentrating.

Ratcliffe sticks a metal stake into the grave which pulses with energy alerting the Imperial Dalek Mothership who detect the Hand of Omega and inform the Emperor.
<blockquote>

Love the Dalek mothership set. Love it. Yes it's a few screens and some Neon tubing (which apparently nearly didn't work on the day) against a black backdrop but it looks big and effective. And what's that I can hear? Yes it's the Dalek control room noise, still with us after 25 years since it's first appearance in The Daleks.
<p>
Rachel's complaining to Gilmore "drag me down from Cambridge" is reminiscent of Liz Shaw's comments to the Brigadier in Spearhead from Space.
</blockquote>
The girl observes Ratcliffe & his men digging the grave up and stares upwards towards the sky.

The Emperor arrives on the Dalek bridge and orders the assault shuttle deployed.

<blockquote>
Huzzah, a new style Dalek! This Emperor Dalek is modelled on
<a href=http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Dalek_Emperor?image=GoldE-JPG target="_blank">The comic strip Emperor Dalek</a>,
with a spherical dome replacing everything upwards of the skirt. The one in the comic had a sucker arm, gun stick & eye stalk: this is just a white sphere, on a standard Imperial Dalek base with a hexagonal eye on the front of the sphere. In many ways it looks like an old spherical air freshner we used to have when I was little that you opened by tilting the top of the sphere back. I'm told it was called an Airwick Ball.
<p>
The "Emperor on the Bridge" line as the Emperor arrives is very similar to Sulu's "Admiral on the Bridge" in
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek target="_blank">Star Trek</a>
II:
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrath_of_Khan target="_blank">Wrath of Khan</a>
when James Kirk arrives on the Enterprise's bridge.
<p>
Roy Tromelly is credited as the Dalek Emperor here, a name not previously seen as a Dalek performer.
</blockquote>
Ratcliffe shoos the girl away. The Doctor suddenly takes action and orders a base established at the school.
<blockquote>
There's some indication here that the reason the Doctor's been concentrating is that he's been in telepathic contact with the Hand of Omega and has been listening for the signal that it's been disturbed. He certainly seems to comprehend the Hand's responses when he's talked to it but it's not made an audible response.
<p>
Allison & Rachel's lines "I wish Bernard was here" and "The British rocket group has it's own problems" are references to
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quatermass_Experiment target="_blank">The Quatermass Experiment</a>
and it's sequels, a direct influence on Doctor Who.
</blockquote>
Ace asks what's important about the school and the Doctor says nothing now the transmat is disabled. Ratcliffe arrives at his warehouse with the Hand of Omega and telephones his man.
<blockquote>
Whatever it is in Ratcliffe's office gets in on the Cyberleader act with a well delivered "Excellent" here.
</blockquote>
Mike takes a phone call at the school as the Doctor & Ace arrive keeping an eye on Group Captain "Chunky" Gilmore.
<blockquote>
"why they call him chunky I have no idea" - a McCoy ad lib due to some mucking about in rehearsal and fun with a stage direction involving a "chunky revolver".
</blockquote>
The Doctor explains how Omega used his remote stellar manipulator, the Hand of Omega to create the supernova that powers Time Lord time travel technology.
<blockquote>
ACE: They're really going for it.<br>
DOCTOR: That's the general idea. I want to keep the military fully occupied and out of the way.<br>
ACE: Out of the way of what? Oh, Professor, you promised me, remember?<br>
<P><center><img src=https://farm1.staticflickr.com/856/41949724050_29f9528545_m.jpg width="240" height="180" alt="3m">

DOCTOR: A long time ago, on my home planet of Gallifrey, there lived a stellar engineer called Omega.<br>
ACE: Stellar? As in stars? You mean he engineered stars?<br>
DOCTOR: Ace!<br>
ACE: Sorry. Go on.<br>
DOCTOR: It was Omega who created the supernova that was the initial power source for Gallifreyan time travel experiments. He left behind him the basis on which Rassilon founded Time Lord society, and he left behind the Hand of Omega.<br>
ACE: His hand? What good was that?<br>
DOCTOR: No, no, not his hand literally. No, no, it's called that because Time Lords have an infinite capacity for pretension.<br>
ACE: I've noticed that.<br>
DOCTOR: The Hand of Omega is a mythical name for Omega's remote stellar manipulator, a device used to customise stars with. And didn't we have trouble with the prototype.<br>
ACE: We?<br>
DOCTOR: They.<br>
ACE: And the Daleks want it so they can recreate the time travel experiments? But you said that both Dalek factions can already travel in time.<br>
DOCTOR: Oh yes, Daleks have got time corridor technology, but it's very crude and nasty. What they want is the power that Time Lords have, and they'll get that with the Hand of Omega, or so they think.<br>
ACE: And you have to try and stop them.<br>
DOCTOR: No, Ace, I want them to have it.<br>
ACE: Eh?<br>
DOCTOR: My problem is trying to stop Group Captain Gilmore and his men getting diced in the crossfire.<br>
ACE: So, all this is<br>
DOCTOR: A massive deception, yes.<br>
ACE: Oh, well devious. So the Daleks grab the Hand of Omega and go, and no one gets hurt. Brilliant.<br>
DOCTOR: Just one thing.<br>
ACE: What?<br>
DOCTOR: I didn't expect two Dalek factions, and now I've got to make sure the wrong ones don't get their grubby little protuberances on it!
<P>
The line here, passed off as a slip of the tongue by the Doctor, "and didn't we have trouble with the prototype" is of key importance. One of the things Script Editor
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cartmel target="_blank">Andrew Cartmel</a>
wanted to do was inject a bit of mystery back into the Doctor. This is the start of insinuating that perhaps The Doctor had knew Omega & Rassilon and perhaps had something to do with the very beginnings of the Timelord. The Remembrance of the Daleks novelization introduces a third figure, the Other, who is developed through the
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_New_Adventures target="_blank">Virgin New Adventures</a>
novels leading to revelations in Lungbarrow....
<!--
I must try to remember to discuss when we get to the McGann Movie in a few weeks time.
-->
These ideas have come to be referred to as
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartmel_Masterplan target="_blank">the Cartmel Masterplan</a>.
</blockquote>
The Daleks want the Hand of Omega to give them the power the Time Lords have.
<blockquote>
Daleks have been previously seen with Time Travel technology in (deep breath) The Chase, The Dalek Masterplan, Evil of the Daleks, Day of the Daleks and Resurrection of the Daleks.
</blockquote>
The Doctor wants the Daleks to have it, but it needs to be right sort of Daleks. A Black Dalek Supreme emerges from Ratcliffe's warehouse as the hand is unloaded.

If you asked most people what colour the Supreme Daleks is most people would probably say Black with Silver skirt balls. The original Supreme was Black & light blue and the one in Resurrection was Black & white.

His grey minions exterminate Ratcliffe's workers, the being in the chair reveals itself to be the girl.

<P>
HUGE shock this at the time. That's not Davros? For three episodes the wools been pulled over our eyes. The obvious question now is where is Davros. Cos he must be in it right?
</blockquote>
The Dalek Supreme confronts Ratcliffe threatening him with extermination as the girl activates the time controller to begin the Renegade Daleks journey home with the Hand of Omega. The Renegade Daleks go onto the streets to guard the warehouse against intruders but Ace & the Doctor sneak in.
<blockquote>
Some horribly wobbly Daleks here thanks to swapping the castors that were usually used to support the Daleks for the kind of balls found on Garden wheelbarrows!
</blockquote>
The Doctor & Ace's presence is missed at HQ and a search is organised. The Doctor speaks to the Hand confirming it knows what to do. He sees the Dalek base and identifies it as a Dalek Battle Computer.
<blockquote>
The explanation behind the Daleks use of a child's imagination in their battle computer is a little wobbly but a link to the problems they faced in Destiny of the Daleks.
<P>
ACE: What is it?<br>
DOCTOR: Some kind of biomechanoid control system, for a small human. Of course, it's a battle computer!<br>
ACE: But why would a human need to sit in it?<br>
DOCTOR: The Dalek's major drawback is their dependency on rationality and logic. The solution? Get a human, preferably young, imaginative, plug the child into the system, and their ingenuity and creativity are slaved to the battle computer.<br>
ACE: That's well boggling.<br>
DOCTOR: It's obscene. Ah, now for the time controller.<br>
ACE: Hey, is this it?<br>
</blockquote>
The Doctor puts the time controller out of phase to slow the Renegade Daleks and leaves his calling card behind.

ACE: What is it?<br>
DOCTOR: It's a device the renegade Daleks use to travel through time. They've come a long way.<br>
ACE: Have you busted it?<br>
DOCTOR: No, no, no, I don't want to lumber Earth with a load of desperate Daleks. I've merely put it out of phase. They'll be able to fix it, but it'll slow them down.

The Supreme Dalek orders his extermination. The Doctor and Ace escape, hiding in a telephone repair tent.

near Waterloo station on 4th April, Easter Bank Holiday Monday 1988. The date is significant and contributes to an incident that occurs at the same location in episode 4.
<p>
Surely the Dalek's eye stalk has infa red sensors that could detect them inside?
</blockquote>
The Doctor says he hopes Imperial Daleks will wipe out Renegades and that won't then look as suspicious as if he just gives the Hand of Omega to them. The Doctor & Ace return to the school where they are met by Mike asks Ace out to pictures, but Renegade Daleks attack. Mike asks why the Renegade Daleks are attacking if they already have the Hand of Omega, giving himself away as knowing more information than he should.
<blockquote>
Mike being a traitor unconsciously tips the hat towards Invasion of the Dinosaurs where Mike Yates is a dirty stinking traitor!
</blockquote>
Gilmore has him locked up as the Renegade Daleks attack the school. The Battle Computer detects the Imperial Shuttlecraft entering the atmosphere and recalls all Renegade Daleks to base. The Doctor is surprised when the shuttle lands in the playground and wonders if he has miscalculated.

Superb again, great stuff. Up the action, making it clear these are two different groups of Daleks we're dealing with. I can't emphasise how much of a shock that was to find out that wasn't Davros in Ratcliffe's Warehouse!

"Just one thing, governor: I thought you said he was an old geezer with white hair!"
<p>
Ace overcomes the Headmaster, and unlocks the cellar door allowing the Doctor to escape who then locks the Dalek in. They discover a Dalek control device behind the Headmaster's ear and leave him just before the Dalek blasts through the door.

Dalek control devices have shrunk a lot and given much better performance since the zombie making Roboman helmets in Dalek Invasion of Earth!

The Doctor obtains an anti tank rocket from a delivery that Group Captain Gilmore has sent to the school, but this too is observed by the girl.

plays Kaufman, the solider delivering the ATRs as Gilmore ordered in the previous episode. He's only on-screen briefly but he's so brilliantly written and performed that you get a perfect view of what he's like just from on line "You'll have to sign for that sir!"

Hang on, something I've only just spotted: Gilmour's wearing a RAF Cap Badge! I'd always assumed he was army. Now that is odd...

The Doctor leaves Ace with Rachel & Allison to stay the night at Mike's Mum's boarding house. The Doctor goes to Harry's cafe which is being run by his Afro Caribbean assistant John.
<!--
He and the Doctor discuss if the Doctor should have sugar and his tea, and the consequences of that decision.
--><blockquote>
JOHN: Can I help you?<br>
DOCTOR: A mug of tea, please.<br>
JOHN: Cold night tonight.<br>
DOCTOR: Yes, it is. Bitter, very bitter. Where's Harry?<br>
JOHN: Visiting his missus. She's in hospital.<br>
DOCTOR: Of course. It'll be twins.<br>
JOHN: Hmm? Your tea. Sugar?<br>
DOCTOR: Ah. A decision. Would it make any difference?<br>
JOHN: It would make your tea sweet.<br>
DOCTOR: Yes, but beyond the confines of my tastebuds, would it make any difference?<br>
JOHN: Not really.<br>
DOCTOR: But<br>
JOHN: Yeah?<br>
DOCTOR: What if I could control people's tastebuds? What if I decided that no one would take sugar? That'd make a difference to those who sell the sugar and those that cut the cane.<br>
JOHN: My father, he was a cane cutter.<br>
DOCTOR: Exactly. Now, if no one had used sugar, your father wouldn't have been a cane cutter.<br>
JOHN: If this sugar thing had never started, my great-grandfather wouldn't have been kidnapped, chained up, and sold in Kingston in the first place. I'd be a African.<br>
DOCTOR: See? Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge, rebound off the banks in unforeseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences.<br>
JOHN: Life's like that. Best thing is just to get on with it.

<blockquote>
This scene is frequently quoted as one of the greatest in Doctor Who, and rightly so!
<!--
As the Doctor ponders whether to have sugar in his tea or not (I seem to recall the third Doctor tipping several in!) the consequences of the decision are discussed and as John points out the slave trade is a direct result of the demand for sugar. Without sugar he'd be an African, his forefathers would have never been shipped to Jamaica and he'd never be there.
-->

The Doctor has obviously visited Harry's Cafe at some point in the future because he knows that Harry's wife, who the proprietor is visiting in hospital, has had twins.

Daleks start beaming replacement troops into the transmat site at the school. Early the next morning an undertaker is disturbed by noises on their premises when the Doctor turns up asking to collect a casket he left there.

Dialogue from the undertaker all but confirms that the first Doctor left the casket there:
<p>
"Hello, governor? Somebody's come to collect that big casket. Yes, yes the Doctor. Just one thing, governor: I thought you said he was an old geezer with white hair!"
<p>
A fabulous touch as the Doctor comes in carrying a period Milk Bottle! It's daylight when this scene starts and milk is being delivered so I think we can assume that it's the next morning.

Ratcliffe receives a phone call confirming the Doctor has been found but his co-conspirator in the Dalek base tells him that Ratcliffe's man has been found by their enemies. Mike exits a phone box and is followed by the Headmaster.
<blockquote>
Remember it was Mike that introduced Ratcliffe to Gilmore in the previous episode.

The Headmaster's response here "I obey" will instantly send a shiver down the spine of anyone who owned a Palitoy talking Dalek. That was one of the phrases it spoke alongside "What are your orders?", "Attack, Attack, Attack" and, inevitably, "Exterminate, Exterminate!"
<p>
so.... (back to 1988 as Phil watches this for the first time) The Headmaster works for the White Daleks. The White Daleks are the enemies of Ratcliffe's ally. If Ratcliffe's ally is Davros like it implies (and they're taking their time over showing him properly) wasn't Davros last seen working with the White Daleks? And where do the Grey Daleks fit in?
</blockquote>
The Headmaster attacks Mike asking for the location of the Renegade Dalek base, who have defied the rule of the Emperor and the Mike is an agent of the Renegades. Mike fights back but the Headmaster collapses and dies.

<p>
There's an Emperor Dalek? What like in Evil of the Daleks? Actually the title of Emperor Dalek was alluded to the last time we saw them in Revelation of the Daleks. Were you watching closely enough to see who it was applied to?
<p>
So the Grey Daleks are the Renegades....

Mike observes this from a distance. Mike brings the Doctor back to the boarding house where they find a note from Gilmore summoning them, but Mike says that Gilmore has specifically ordered Ace to stay behind. Doctor gives her the charged baseball bat.

<blockquote>
Mike's obviously liking Ace, hence trying to keep her away from the action but his line here "work to be done, back at six, have dinner ready" betrays his attitude towards women. Offensive now, and to Ace, it's a common attitude then.
<p>
But.... it does help us know how the day is progressing. It certainly not remotely dinner time yet. Keep that in mind when we next see Ace.
</blockquote>
The Doctor tells Ace to stay there while he tries to keep everyone out of trouble and prevent deaths. The thing in Ratcliffe's office tells him that the Enemy, the imperial Dalek faction is about to start moving and asking Ratcliffe if he's ready for war.
<blockquote>
Ratcliffe's reply that he thinks the country fought on the wrong side in the last war and that he was arrested when he spoke out instantly labels Ratcliffe and, by extension, his "association" as a bunch of fascists.
</blockquote>
Gilmore tells the Doctor that there's been an evacuation organised for the area.
<blockquote>
Some superb dialogue here:
<p>
GILMOUR: "A D-notice has been prepared"<br>
RACHEL: "what is it?"<br>
GILMOUR: "no idea, not my department"
<p>
The details just doesn't matter. It's been sorted, he can do his job. Then
<p>
GILMOUR: "Doctor, since you hold my career in your hands...."<br>
DOCTOR: "with respect, your career is magnificently irrelevant!"
<p>
Fabulous. And he's right too!

</blockquote>
The Doctor asks for search for signs of high orbital activity and for the troops to avoid engaging the enemy. Ace turns the tv on in the boarding house but after discovering a "No Coloureds" sign in the window she leaves.
<blockquote>
Sadly I'm just about old enough to remember seeing things like that as a boy. But the sign, and John's dialogue earlier, firmly place Race on the agenda in this story and it gets further explored as things progress.

Script Editor
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cartmel target="_blank">Andrew Cartmel</a>
was very proud of this scene. When he and producer

showed it to BBC Head of drama
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shivas target="_blank">Mark Shivas</a>,
Shivas was called away for a phone call. On his return Cartmel rewound the tape for him to see the scene. Shivas responded "she should have torn the card up". I think he's right too! We find out later that Ace has some experience of racism towards a friend from the Indian Subcontinent who was attacked and killed in a fire and I really feel that in light of that her reaction here is distinctly mild.

As Ace leaves the room the television splutters into life:
<blockquote>
"This is BBC television. the time is a quarter past five and Saturday viewing continues with an adventure of the new science fiction series Doc"..
<p>
Fabulous in joke, dating the events of this episode as taking place on 23rd November 1963, the day Doctor Who started. The problem is that if it is 17:15 in late December, you'd expect it to be dark outside and all the remaining events of this episode to be taking place at night! When
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaronovitch" target="_blank">Ben Aaronovitch</a>
novelised Remembrance of the Daleks he removed the joke with the television and re-timed this scene to occur at around 12.15 making the daylight setting here and for the rest of the story make more sense.
</blockquote>
The tracking stations find an object which the Doctor believes is the Dalek Mothership, carrying up to 400 Daleks. Gilmore asks if they are nuclear capable to which the Doctor responds that they have weapons that can crack planet like an egg. Gilmore then asks if the Mothership is their main base. The Doctor says that there are two groups of Daleks from the future that are here. Ace goes back to the school to retrieve her Ghetto Blaster but it picks up Dalek transmissions and she is found.
<blockquote>
Why would the school be open to visitors on a Saturday? It wouldn't be, she's expecting to find the army there!

The Doctor builds a device to interfere with Daleks control signals like he did on Spiridon.

That's a brilliant episode of Doctor Who, very different from the norm. Yes we've got a bit of action book ending it but the majority of the episode is quiet character stuff. And it's all done so well. The four guest actors that only appear in this episode (

High above the Earth a large spaceship approaches the planet....<blockquote>We start Doctor Who's 25th anniversary season with a fabulous pre credits sequence showing the Earth in space with excerpts from various famous speeches playing. First there's an excerpt from the

given by US President
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy target="_blank">John F. Kennedy</a>

There's then an excerpt from a

Kennedy is intimately associated with fans to the start of Doctor Who, having been assassinated the day before so it's an obvious thing to work him into this story some how. This is the only mention of him here though: The Kennedy Assassination will be further alluded to in the official 25th anniversary story Silver Nemesis and then again in the superb and very out of print Doctor Who conspiracy novel

We're on Wednesday nights for this season's episodes, probably just so we can have an episode on Doctor Who's actual 25th anniversary on 23 November 1988. I'm in at the start of my fifth & final year at secondary school.
<p>
This story is written by new author
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaronovitch" target="_blank">Ben Aaronovitch</a>.
He'd sent an unsolicited script "The Dole Queue Detective" into
<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0653581/ target="_blank">Caroline Oulten</a>,
then a BBC Script Editor, who suggested he might be suitable for Doctor Who and passed him to
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cartmel target="_blank">Andrew Cartmel</a>.
He loved it and was keen for Ben to write for the show. They were in the process of developing a script called "Knight Fall" when word came through that the Daleks could be used in this season and Cartmel knew he wanted Aaronovitch to write it.
<p>
Cartmel relates a story in his book about not knowing Ben's phone number, looking up the name Aaronovitch in the phone book and ringing the first one he found then discovering they're all related.... well it now turns out that several of them have their own Wikipedia entries. His father
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Aaronovitch target="_blank">Sam Aaronovitch</a>

Children file into the start of Cole Hill Road Secondary School in Shoreditch for the start of the days lessons.

has a good go at working out which day the events of An Unearthly Child took place and reckons a Wednesday or Thursday. In which case the staff will be starting to wonder what's happened to two of their teachers and a pupil....
<p>
The dating of this story makes it the only original series story set with a setting in the past but still within the timespan of the run of the original series.

At the school gate a girl watches a black van, with an aerial on top, over the street and sees The Doctor & Ace's arrival.

The Tardis has landed in

The Doctor investigates the van while Ace goes for something to eat at a local cafe. She has trouble finding anyone to serve her but another customer Mike loudly summons the manager Harry from the kitchen.

Ace struggles with the currency. As the Doctor examines mysterious regular burn marks on playground the playground, the girl plays hopscotch and sings a song

This is <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1527329/ target="_blank">Jasmine Breaks'</a> only TV work as the girl and she gives a really creepy performance throughout.
The Doctor gets into the back of the van and meets Professor Rachel Jenson who has detected an artificial signal. Rachel summoned by a Group Captain over the radio. Mike returns towards the van with Ace, explaining Imperial Currency to her and is called inside by Rachel.<blockquote>

The problems Ace is having with <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_currency target="_blank">Imperial currency</a>
will be familiar to anyone of my age who's asked their parents about it. But it's also a nice call back to Unearthly Child where Susan doesn't know how many shillings in a pound and remarks, prophetically, about Britain not having a decimal system yet.
</blockquote>
They drive to IM Foreman's junkyard at 76 where Group Captain Gilmore is waiting for them with a soldier who the Doctor examines to discover that he's died due to massive internal displacement from a projected energy weapon.
<blockquote>
This is of course the junkyard that the Tardis is shown to leave from in the very first episode of Doctor Who where it was shown as a studio set. In 1985 the Tardis returned to the junkyard, the location where it became stuck as a Police Box, in Attack of the Cybermen the very first time it ever changed shape. Then the junkyard was portrayed on location in

The Dalek extermination effect started with the entire screen going negative, then a negative field round the hit person accompanied by a ray from Genesis of the Daleks onwards. Now we get an electric blue energy blast and the body glowing exposing the skeleton within. Best effect in the entire original series, so much so that it was adopted by the new series when they introduced the Daleks.

The Group Captain has the soldier launch grenades into the building as Mike calls for reinforcements but the creature inside picks up the radio signal and opens fire on the van Mike's hiding in.
<blockquote>
The Doctor addresses the Group Captain as Brigadier in this segment, recalling his time with UNIT.
<p>
Chronologically this is the first time the Army has met the Doctor. Three years later he'd work with them again against WOTON (The War Machines) and two years after that against the Yeti in the Underground (The Web of Fear) where he first meets the future Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart.
</blockquote>
A grey Dalek emerges from the smoke within the building.
<blockquote>
Now this was a surprise at the time: all the publicity for the story including the colour photos in the Radio Times (which I still have) showed White & Gold Daleks....

The Doctor lures the Dalek into the open & destroys it using a stack of bricks and Ace's nitro nine explosives.

That's a little bit vulnerable for a Dalek isn't it? I suppose it's been hit by a lot of weight and force all at once but....

The Doctor & Ace borrow the Army's van to drive back to the school and on the way the Doctor explains the Daleks' origins:
<blockquote>
DOCTOR: A Dalek. Only trouble is, it's the wrong Dalek.<br>
ACE: Would the right one be better or worse?<br>
DOCTOR: Yes. Choke.<br>
ACE: No, thanks.<br>
MIKE: What do you think you're doing?<br>
DOCTOR: Borrowing your van.<br>
ACE: These Day-leks<br>
DOCTOR: Daleks.<br>
ACE: Oh, Daleks. Where are they from?<br>
DOCTOR: From Skaro. At least, originally. They're the mutated remains of a species called the Kaleds. Left here.<br>
ACE: When were they left here?<br>
DOCTOR: No. Turn left here.<br>
ACE: Oh, right.<br>
DOCTOR: No, left! You've missed the turning.<br>
ACE: What turn? Where?<br>
DOCTOR: Why don't you concentrate on where you're going?<br>
ACE: Look, I'm doing the best I can. If you don't like it, you drive.<br>
DOCTOR: The Kaleds were at war with the Thals. They had a dirty nuclear war. The resulting mutations were then accelerated by their chief scientist, Davros. What he created them he then placed them in a metal war machine, and that's how the Daleks came about<br>
ACE: So that metal thing had a creature inside controlling it?<br>
DOCTOR: Exactly. And ever since the Daleks were created, they've tried to conquer and enslave as much as the universe as they can get their grubby protuberances on.<br>
ACE: And now they want to conquer the Earth.<br>
DOCTOR: Nothing so mundane. They conquer the Earth in the twenty second century. No. They want the Hand of Omega.<br>
ACE: What's that?<br>
DOCTOR: One thing at a time, Ace.
<P>
Superb summary of the Daleks origins here: extensive enough to explain it to the casual viewer, short enough not to annoy fans in the know whose ears would have pricked up the moment they heard the word Omega, a renegade Time Lord seen in the Three Doctors & Arc of Infinity.
<p>
Some fab comedy between The Doctor & Ace with confusion between left & right and swapping positions in the van as it passes under a bridge.

Mike brings Mr Ratcliffe to meet Group Captain Gilmore who he believes can help them.

Would the army really bring in civilian assistance on such a job as this? Ratcliffe is played by

Arriving at the school the Doctor is observed by the child again and meets the headmaster who assumes he's here for caretaker's job. The Doctor asks to look round the premises. At first the Headmaster refuses and then, after becoming vague & rubbing his ear, he agrees.

The Doctor & Ace go the chemistry lab on an upper floor, where Ace finds book on the French Revolution but accidentally leaves her ghetto blaster behind.

We've seen the lab before: that's where Ian Chesterton is teaching in An Unearthly Child and where he has his conversation with Barbara about their problem pupil Susan Foreman.

The book on the French Revolution is the one that Susan borrows, prefiguring a visit to that period at the end of the first season. We must assume she read it through in the lab and left it there before going back to Totter's Lane.

The only problem with that is we've found it in the Chemistry Lab and she was reading it in Barbara's history classroom. And, as is obvious from the pictures, it's a completely different book!

Ace argues that if a spaceship had landed in London in 1963 she'd have heard about it but the Doctor points out that she doesn't remember the Zygons & Loch Ness Monster or the Yeti in the Underground. The Doctor explains to her that he left the Hand of Omega behind when he was here before. Ratcliffe takes destroyed Dalek back to his yard and speaks to a figure hunched in a black Dalek base.

The Doctor & Ace investigate the school cellar, but are seen entering by the Headmaster. In the cellar they find a Transmat station that the Doctor deactivates just as a Dalek begins to form on it.

Their interference is detected by the Transmat operator, a white & gold Dalek who emerges from the shadows in the cellar. The Doctor & Ace make a run for it up the stairs, but the Doctor trips over half way up. Ace emerges from the cellar only to be clubbed to the floor by the headmaster who locks the Doctor in.

What a superb episode ending totally playing with the heads of he casual viewers who believe that Daleks can't climb stairs. The effect here is achieved by putting the Dalek on a stairlift and covering the base with the orange video effect glow. The Dalek in this episode is voiced by <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Skelton target="_blank">Roy Skelton</a>, who'd voiced Daleks previously in The Evil of the Daleks, Planet of the Daleks, Genesis of the Daleks, Destiny of the Daleks, The Five Doctors & Revelation of the Daleks. He was also Monoid voices in The Ark, Cybermen voices in The Tenth Planet & The Wheel in Space, Computer voice in The Ice Warriors, Kroton voices in The Krotons, Norton in Colony in Space, Wester in Planet of the Daleks, James in The Green Death, Marshall Chedaki in The Android Invasion and King Rokon in The Hand of Fear as well as being famed throughout the UK as the voice of both <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippy_(Rainbow) target="_blank">Zippy</a> & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_(Rainbow) target="_blank">George</a> in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_(TV_series) target="_blank">Rainbow</a>.
<p>
It's a good opening episode for a story and a season: plenty of incident, the Daleks as an added lure for the audience plus it presents some mystery to get people back the next week: what is the Hand of Omega? Why are there two different sets of Daleks? What's Davros seemingly doing working with some humans?

"Nice to meet you Rose, run for your life!"
<P>
Rose Tyler goes about her day normally, waking at 7:30, going to her job at Henricks department store, meeting her boyfriend Mickey Smith for lunch in Trafalgar square. But as she searches for Wilson the store electrician in the basement she is menaced by a number of shop mannequins that suddenly come to life. She is rescued by a leather jacket clad stranger who tells her that he is the Doctor before returning to destroy the shop, the mannequins and the transmitter on the roof. The next day the Doctor shows up at her house where he is attacked by a shop dummy arm that Rose had brought home with her. He deactivates and tells Rose to forget about him before walking down the street and disappearing. Rose searches the internet for information on this Doctor leading her to Clive, a man who has been tracking him through appearances at the Kennedy assassination, the Titanic and Krakatoa. While she is in Clive's house, Mickey, who is waiting outside, is attacked by a wheelie bin and swallowed up, replaced by a duplicate. The duplicate Mickey, who is acting strangely, takes Rose out for dinner, but starts interrogating her about the Doctor. The Doctor arrives and deactivates the Mickey duplicate removing his head. He takes Rose and the head to the Tardis and uses the head to track the rough location of the force controlling it to central London. Materialising on the Embankment he starts hunting for a transmitter dish but Rose suggests the Millennium wheel. Underneath they find a base being used by the Nestene Conciousness which intends to take over the Earth controlling the plastic Manquins. The Doctor negotiates with it but it refuses to cooperate having in it's possesion the Tardis. It sends out a signal activating shop maniquins all over the country which burst through windows and start killing the population. Rose saves the Doctor, held captive, by knocking the anti plastic solution he prepared into the Nestene conciousness. She, the Doctor & Mickey escape in the Tardis as the base is consumed in an explosion. Mickey is disturbed by what he has seen and experienced, with the inside of the Tardis being the last straw. The Doctor offers to take Rose with him to explore the universe but she refuses so he leaves, returning a moment later and telling her the Tardis also travels in time. Rose kisses Mickey goodbye and runs off towards the Tardis......
<P>
The first episode of the new series was an important one to get right and I think Rose delivers in spades. But where the 1996 Movie starts by focusing on the Doctor and the Tardis and the unusual this time round we focus on an ordinary girl living an oprdinary life..... until things start going wrong. Here the choice of monster for the episode is crucial: The Autons (never mentioned by name) are fabulous for just hiding there in plain site until they suddenly start moving. They're a great choice for an old series monster to bring back here, instead of a bigger name, for that very reason. And into this there's our new Doctor doing what he does best: saving the companion and defeating the monster. And that's just the first 10-15 minutes. But that intiail sequence is just done so well. Yes there's some missteps after that: the cgi and the burping on the Mickey being eaten by the wheelie bin sequence, the plastic looking fake Mickey and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Clarke>Noel Clarke's</a> acting as the fake Mickey, all of which look liked failed attempts at humour (see also Aliens of London & World War Three filmed at the same time) And for me I think the ending has trouble: It's Rose who points out to the doctor the Millennium Wheel and then saves him from the Autons which just feels wrong somehow. But Rose is our identification figure here and must be shown to be the hero....
<P>
The story hommages the Auton's previous TV appearances in a big way: we get a remake of the famous scene with Autons coming to life and bursting through shop windows from Spearhead from Space with the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenium_Wheel>Millennium Wheel</a> serving as a reference to the Radar Dish extensively seen in Terror of the Autons. The Nestene Conciousness also gives us the first appearance of this season's linking theme when it utters the words Bad Wolf. However the original version of this episode has the audio for this sequence and the audio level is raised in the DVD version.
<P>
There's also a nice nod to the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0426204425/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0426204425&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">Doctor Who: The Discontinuity Guide</a>, a publication examining all the original Doctor Who stories. In it there's a section that tries to work out what day of the week the school segments of an Unearthly Child take place on. So here we get Rose collecting the money to buy lottery tickets at work..... which means it has to be a Wednesday or Saturday.... but Rose would have gone to work at the same time the next day so that points to it being a Wednesday .....
<P>
The main creative force behind this revival of Doctor Who is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_T_Davies>Russell T Davies</a>, listed as writer & executive producer on this episode, but effectively filling the US "show runner" role. Davies worked in children's television at the BBC, including <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Don't_You%3F>Why Don't You?</a> and a one off presenting job on <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_School_(UK_TV_series)>Play School</a> alongside <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloe_Ashcroft>Chloe Ashcroft</a> (Laird in Resurrection of the Daleks). He made his name as a writer on the children's series <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Season>Dark Season</a>, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Falls>Century Falls</a> &
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Ward>Children's Ward</a>, producing a <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_New_Adventures>Virgin New Adventures</a> novel <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damaged_Goods_(Doctor_Who_novel)>Damaged Goods</a> before moving into adult drama with <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelations_(1994_TV_series)>Revelations</a>, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springhill_(TV_series)>Springhill</a> & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_(TV_series)>The Grand</a>. The ground breaking <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_as_Folk_(UK_TV_series)>Queer as Folk</a> brought him public recognition and critical acclaim before he went on to work create <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_&_Rose>Bob & Rose</a> & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Coming_(TV_serial)>The Second Coming</a>. He was lured to the BBC where he wrote <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casanova_(2005_TV_serial)>Casanova</a>, a production he'd started for fellow executive producer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Gardner>Julie Gardner</a> while she was still at LWT. Casanova starred young actor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tennant>David Tennant</a> in his first major starring role (We will hear much more of him later) and started airing not much before Doctor Who did.
<P>
Hotly debated in the run up to production was who would be cast as the Doctor & his companion. Many names were bandied around including Comic Relief Doctor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Grant>Hugh Grant</a>, former Davies collaborator <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Davies>Alan Davies</a> (whose <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Creek>Jonathan Creek</a> is widely seen as one of the longest auditions for the role of Doctor Who ever!) and popular film actor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Nighy>Bill Nighy</a>, who the Daily Mail famously announced as the Doctor in early editions of their paper on the day the news that <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Eccleston>Christopher Eccleston</a> had been cast broke. Ecclestone was known to television viewers from <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(British_television)>Cracker</a> & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Friends_in_the_North>Our Friends in the North</a> (where the producer's secretary was a young Julie Gardner) as well as the films <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_Him_Have_It>Let Him Have It</a> & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_Grave>Shallow Grave</a>. He'd previously worked with Davies as the lead role in Second Coming which also features <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Benton>Mark Benton</a> appearing here as Clive. Meanwhile the role of companion went to former pop star <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Piper>Billie Piper</a> to some consternation. However Piper had attended Stage School prior to her pop career and had recently featured in the BBC's modern adaptation of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Canterbury_Tales_(TV_series)>The Canterbury Tales</a>: <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miller's_Prologue_and_Tale>The Miller's Tale</a> to good notices from all who saw it.
<P>
This episode introduces two supporting cast members who'll feature on and off over the next couple of years <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Coduri>Camille Coduri</a> as Jackie Tyler and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Clarke>Noel Clarke</a> as Mickey Smith. But there's also a few people here who we'll be seeing or hearing a lot of in different roles. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Briggs>Nicholas Briggs</a>, who'd made his name as a voice artist for fan productions and then more recently for <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions>Big Finish</a> makes his debut as the voice of the Nestene Consciousness. He'll return as the Dalek voices in Dalek, Bad Wolf, The Parting of the Ways, Army of Ghosts, Doomsday, Daleks in Manhattan, Evolution of the Daleks, The Stolen Earth, Journey's End, Victory of the Daleks, The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang & The Wedding of River Song, Cybermen voices in Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel, Army of Ghosts, Doomsday, The Next Doctor, The Pandorica Opens, A Good Man Goes to War & Closing Time, Judoon voices in Smith & Jones, The Stolen Earth, The End of Time & The Pandorica Opens as well as in the The Sarah Jane Adventures episode Prisoner of the Judoon where he's also Captain Tybo's voice, plus the Jagrafess voice in The Long Game and National Museum Pandorica video narrator in The Big Bang. He's even got an in front of camera appearance as Rick Yates in Torchwood Children of Earth: Day Four. His Dalek work here led to him providing the replacement Dalek voices on the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004VRO89C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B004VRO89C&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkId=HMBG7RIOELIYIBSF">Doctor Who - Day of the Daleks Special Edition DVD</a>.

He's in Torchwood as various Weevils, the Blowfish and another appearance as the Hoix, plus a host of appearances as Slitheen and other aliens in The Sarah Jane Adventures. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ruscoe>Alan Ruscoe</a>, the Lead Auton, also repeatedly appears in the first series featuring in The End of the World as Lute, Aliens of London & World War Three as Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, in Bad Wolf as Trine-E and Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways as the Anne Droid. He returns in The Waters of Mars as Andy Stone and has also appeared as Daultay Dofine, Lott Dod and Plo Koon in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sant>David Sant</a>, another Auton, also returns as Slitheen in the Doctor Who stories Aliens of London and World War Three which were filmed in the same recording block as this episode.
<P>
The <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/stories/rose>location filming for this episode</a> took place in Cardiff, near to the production's BBC Wales base, and in London for some authentic London shots. It was in London that things went very wrong, the details of which have never been fully revealed by rumours circulate of arguments on set. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_T_Davies>Russell T Davies</a> speaks in his book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/184607861X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=184607861X&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter</a> (we'll be referring to this a lot, it's one of our text book references for the new series so buy a copy) of how producer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Collinson>Phil Collinson</a> rang Executive Producer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Gardner>Julie Gardner</a> at the end of the first week in tears: the production was in so much trouble that they were already 3 weeks behind. Julie Gardner sent Production Manager <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracie_Simpson>Tracie Simpson</a> to London who got the production back on track. Davies credits Simpson as one of the unsung heroes of the program. It should be noted that the director of this first recording block, Keith Boak, didn't work on the series again after this and the other two episode in the block, Aliens of London & World War Three, were completed.
<P>
In the weeks leading up to the episode's broadcast it was extensively publicised and trailed by the BBC but what probably helped it the most (although I'm sure the BBC don't see it that way) was when an unfinished copy escaped onto torrent sites on the internet. It doesn't have the correct version of the titles and is missing some effects but die hard Doctor Who fans got to see it a few days early and by the day of broadcast the word of mouth concerning the new production was very good leading to huge viewing figure for the BBC.
<P>
Transmission of the episode itself was slightly spoilt for viewers when the audio feed for Strictly Dance Fever hosted by Graham Norton was played over a crucial early scene.
<P>
Rose was released on DVD with the following 2 episodes The End of the World & The Unquiet Dead as <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00095L9E2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00095L9E2&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B00095L9E2" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />Doctor Who: Series 1 - Volume 1</A> on 16th May 2005 and in the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009AK57Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0009AK57Y&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B0009AK57Y" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />Doctor Who - The Complete BBC Series 1 Box Set</a> on 21st November 2005.

When the videos resumed, with a commemorative edition of the Green Death following the death of Third Doctor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Pertwee>Jon Pertwee</a> they sported a redesigned cover layout which included the logo used for the movie as opposed the the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Baker>Tom Baker</a> diamond logo which had been on the range almost since the beginning (The early initial releases of Revenge of the Cybermen and the Five Doctors used the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Davison>Peter Davison</a> neon logo).
<P>
Sylvester McCoy remained the Doctor until the penultimate <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_New_Adventures>New Adventures</a>, Lungbarrow, was released in March 1997. Lungbarrow, written by television author <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Platt>Marc Platt</a>, was an unused storyline for the television series tying up many of the loose ends about the Doctor's origin presented as part of the "Cartmel Masterplan" and at some points flatly contradicting the Movie. The final New Adventure, The Dying Days by <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Parkin>Lance Parkin</a>, was the only Virgin book to feature the Paul McGann 8th Doctor. Both these books now command a pretty penny on the secondary market. They were available as PDF download on the BBC site, and thus usable in eBook readers, but are now gone. However if you search the web....
<P>
The end of the Virgin New Adventures Doctor Who line was caused by BBC deciding to bring the Doctor Who book fiction range in house at BBC books where they immediately started their own range of Eighth Doctor & Past Doctor novels. Essentially for book readers it was more of the same as many familiar authors from the Virgin ranges continued to write for the BBC.
<P>
In 1998 <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions>Big Finish Productions</a> won a licence from the BBC to produce original Doctor Who audio plays. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Davison>Peter Davison</a> (the Fifth Doctor), <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Baker>Colin Baker</a> (the Sixth Doctor) & <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_McCoy>Sylvester McCoy</a> (the Seventh Doctor) all reprised their television roles alongside their companions, later to be joined by first <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McGann>Paul McGann</a> and, recently, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Baker>Tom Baker</a>. The people behind Big Finish included both former Doctor Who magazine editor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Russell>Gary Russell</a> and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Briggs>Nicholas Briggs</a>, who had previously worked on the unlicensed fan produced <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Visuals>Audio Visuals</a> stories - see <a href=http://www.miwkpublishing.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=7>Justyce Served - A Small Start with a Big Finish</a> for more details.
<P>
Meanwhile the BBC itself had resurrected audio releases of missing Doctor Who stories in 1999 starting with (IIRC) The Massacre and embraced a new format for releasing stories with the DVD of the Five Doctors.
<P>
In 1999 <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_relief>Comic Relief</a> decided to do a humorous Doctor Who special as part of the Red Nose Day night of programming. Producing the show was <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Vertue>Sue Vertue</a>, a comedy producer and the daughter of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_Vertue>Beryl Vertue</a>, the agent who negotiated <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Nation>Terry Nation's</a> deal which retained his rights to the Daleks. Sue got her husband, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Moffat>Steven Moffat</a>. the writer of acclaimed Children's show <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Gang>Press Gang</a>, to write the story. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackadder>Blackadder</a> star <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan_Atkinson>Rowan Atkinson</a> was cast as the Doctor with former Press Gang actress <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Sawalha>Julia Sawalha</a>, who'd since found public recognition as Saffy in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_Fabulous>AbFab</a> playing the companion Emma. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pryce>Jonathan Pryce</a> played the Master and actual Doctor Who series veteran <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Skelton>Roy Skelton</a> returned for a final outing as the Dalek Voice. The show plays on many Doctor Who tropes including, as the Doctor quickly uses up his remaining regenerations becoming, in order, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_E._Grant>Richard E. Grant</a>, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Broadbent>Jim Broadbent</a>, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Grant>Hugh Grant</a> and finally <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Lumley>Joanna Lumley</a>, aping the much repeated rumour that the Doctor would regenerate into a woman. Yes it's humorous show, yes it's got no place with the rest of Doctor Who but somehow they hit the style and the feel dead on. The Console & Daleks for this show were sourced from fan productions and the music from older Doctor Who shows including Logopolis and The Five Doctors. I've got <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00004CZDX/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00004CZDX">the VHS</a> which also contains a decent (and humorous) making of as well as three other Doctor Who sketches from various shows and it's well worth a look.
<P>
Over the next few years new productions of Doctor Who fell into the hands of the BBC website producing in 2001 <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Comes_to_Time>Death Comes to Time</a> with Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy & companion Ace played by Sophie Aldred. The following year they produced <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_(Doctor_Who)>Real Time</a> featuring sixth Doctor Colin Baker and then the year after attempted a new adaptation of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shada#Big_Finish_version_.282003.29>Shada</a> starring Paul McGann and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream_of_the_Shalka>The Scream of the Shalka</a>, featuring Richard E Grant again as well as a young <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tennant>David Tennant</a> in a minor role, which was intended to be an official continuation of the series....
<P>
.... but in September of 2003, BBC 1 Controller Lorraine Heggessey announced that Doctor Who would return to television screens in 2005.

I've started a new blog called <a href=http://50yearsdoctorwho.blogspot.co.uk/>50 Years Of Doctor Who</a> in order to publish my revised blog entries for the 50th anniversary of an episode's broadcast.
<P>
You can find it at <a href=http://50yearsdoctorwho.blogspot.co.uk/>http://50yearsdoctorwho.blogspot.co.uk/</a>. Please update your bookmarks.
<P>
The appropriateness of the title here had been bothering me since I'd been publishing the new entries on a weekly basis so I've moved all the existing 50th Anniversary blog entries there and that's where I'll start to publish the ones for Season 2 starting in TWO weeks time!Philip Ayreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056519803620199653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083391022048461226.post-76220976804221853102014-10-01T10:56:00.000+01:002014-10-02T13:10:37.707+01:00Doctor Who - The 50th Anniversary Collection CDsMy copy of <a href=http://drwho.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=18055>the limited edition 50th Anniversary Collection 11 disc CD set</a> arrived this week. Sorry if you didn't know about it before, it was a limited edition who's preorder expired months ago. eBay and various dealers may be your friend though if you want one....

I'd already got <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GR9GXA4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00GR9GXA4&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkId=MRT6QCIXND7R55OJ">the 4 disc version</a> but was interested to see what the differences are between the two.
<P>
So I got Excel to pull me a list of the the tracks and their lengths and compared the two to see which CD had the longer version, which tracks were exclusive to which CD and which were identical in length.
<P>
The results make interesting reading.....
<P>
The very small differences in length, a couple of seconds, can be accounted for by the track spacing in most cases. Essentially these tracks are the same.

Many years later Cricket returns the favour by using an unscheduled repeat of The Sea Devils to plug a gap where a game of Cricket that was due to be televised was rained off. Then off course there's the Doctor's interest in cricket which starts with a visit to the test in the 8th episode of the Dalek Masterplan, claiming to have taken 5 wickets for New South Wales bowling Chinaman and the near obsession of the Fifth Doctor.
<P>
But the absence of Doctor Who on this date in in 1963 brings an interesting fact to light: Doctor Who has never had a first run episode broadcast on 4th July! Doctor Who has usually been shown either from Spetember or January onwards, with the 60s episodes running over a longer period of time from the autumn. Both of these mean the middle months of the year are when less episodes occur. Looking at the classic series these are the
54
days it hasn't been shown on:

<P>
To be honest I'm a bit surprised that there's so many days in the later half of the year that have never had Doctor Who shown on them!
<P>
Since the advent of the new series of Doctor Who in 2005 five of those dates have had episodes of Doctor Who shown on them:
<blockquote>
28-Jun-08 The Stolen Earth<br>
30-Jun-07 Last of the Time Lords<br>
05-Jul-08 Journey's End<br>
08-Jul-06 Doomsday<br>
27-Aug-11 Let's Kill Hitler
</blockquote>
<P>
If there are 54 days with no DW in them, which date has had the most episodes of Doctor Who shown on them?
<P>
Well it truns out there are SEVEN dates with 6 episode shown on them: <blockquote>
04-Jan<br>
12-Jan<br>
08-Feb<br>
15-Feb<br>
02-Mar<br>
09-Mar<br>
16-Mar
</blockquote>
Here's how many dates have had how many episodes shown on them:

But returning to our non showing episode on 4th July: the closest Doctor who has got to showing an episode on this day was the following year, 1964, when the first episode of The Time Meddler aired on the third and in 2008 when Journey's End aired on the fifth. Both remain the only episodes eired on those dates.

As you'll probably be aware veteran Doctor Who director <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Martinus>Derek Martinus</a> died this week following a long illness (<a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26789825>BBC Obituary</a> and Toby Hadoke's <a href=http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/apr/01/derek-martinus>Obituary in The Guardian</a>). His death comes less than two months after fellow 60s veteran <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Barry>Chriostopher Barry</a> (<a href=http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/feb/17/christopher-barry>Guardian Obituary</a>).
<P>
I thought I'd dig out some of Derek Martinus' work to watch and watched Galaxy 4 episode 3: Airlock, some of Tenth Planet 1 & 2, Evil of the Daleks 2 and Spearhead from Space. While doing this a few things struck me:
<P>
Derek Martinus seems to have been handed some of the more historically important directing jobs in Doctor: he handles the first appearance of the Cybermen, Ice Warriors, Autons and Third Doctor. He handles the famous Doctor & Companion free episode Dalek Masterplan, the prelude to the grand Dalek Masterplan. And he's on hand for the departure of William Hartnell and the intenmded final appearance of the Daleks. In all he directs 26 episodes which puts him fifth on the all time list of Who episodes directed. The four directors above him on the list are all recognisable names to Doctor Who fans.

If we limit the episodes to the end of 1970's Season 7, the point where Martinus stopped working for Doctor Who, he'd directed the second most episodes behind, inevitably, the great Douglas Camfield:

<P>
Of note in that list is relative newcomer David Maloney's 19 episodes, all in Troughton's last season.
<P>
But as you'll also see from that list over half of Martinus' 26 episodes are missing.
<P>
In terms of numbers of episodes missing he stands second behind Douglas Camfield who directed significantly more episodes during the period that episodes are missing from - 42 of Camfield's 52 episodes fall before the end of Season 7.

Reordering the list by percentage reveals some surprises! 3 directors Hugh David, Michael Leeston-Smith and John Davies have their entire Doctor Who directing career wiped out by the episode junkings, but Hugh David is the only one of these to work on more than one story.

<P>
He's had a <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0690905/>long career</a> on both sides of the Atlantic but to Doctor Who fans he's best known for playing Professor Stahlman in Inferno during 1970. Inferno is one of my favourite Doctor Who stories and I covered it in August 2011 during the original run of the blog:

It is also completely and utterly barking mad. I'll be having a listen to it later.
<P>
Feast of Steven was famously never telerecorded so is so very unlikely to be ever seen again. During this period of the program no Telesnaps were being taken by John Cura - the then producer John Wills' decision depriving us of pictures for Galaxy Four, Mission to the Unknown, Myth Makers, Dalek Masterplan, The Massacre, The Ark and The Celestial Toymaker. In that period just 9 out of the 33 episodes survive and just one complete story, the Ark.
<P>
However the actor <td align="center"><a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jewell>Robert Jewell</a>, usually inside a Dalek casing, makes a rare onscreen appearance in The Feast of Steven as the Clown (who we're led to believe is Bing Crosby). Jewel had some photos of the broadcast of this episode taken as it was a rare appearance of him onscreen and they are now the only visual record of this missing never to be returned episode. I didn't know these existed at the point when I originally blogged the episode but you can see them on the internet at <a href=http://missingepisodes.blogspot.co.uk/p/offair.html>http://missingepisodes.blogspot.co.uk/p/offair.html</a> to catch just a glimpse of this missing episode.
<P>
So, in the words of the late great William Hartnell 48 years ago today:

A policeman walking down a street on patrol walking past a junkyard whose door opens to reveal a Police Box inside.... a Police Box that hums.
<blockquote>
I love the start of Doctor Who. We have the familiar: A Police Box. Now today a Police Box is Doctor Who, in 1963 they were a common sight on UK streets. But what's a police box doing in a junkyard instead of out on a street?
<P>
The first actor seen on screen in Doctor Who is <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186455/>Reg Cranfield</a> playing the policeman. When the initial version of An Unearthly Child, <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/0-pilot-episode.html>The Pilot Episode</a> this role was played by a different actor, <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712605/>Frederick Rawlings</a> (My Thanks to (<a href=www.twitter.com/@TobyHadoke>Toby Hadoke</a> for pointing this out in his book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1935234064/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1935234064&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">Running Through Corridors: 1</a>. When I asked him who was in which on Twitter he said "Fred Rawlings in the pilot, Reg Cranfield in the transmitted ep. Dunno what Fred did wrong :)") Cranfield returns to the series in The Massacre part 1, War of God, as a Parisian Man ..... which also features Rawlings in a similar role!. Cranfield also features in The Gunfighters 2 & 3, Don't Shoot the Pianist & Johnny Ringo, as a Lynch Mob Member and Doctor Who and the Silurians: Episode 3 as a UNIT Soldier all of which were, like this role, uncredited. He's also got uncredited roles in other series including Doomwatch, Z-Cars, Softly, Softly and Adam Adamant Lives

Two teachers at Colehill School, Barbara Wright (History) and Ian Chesterton (Science) have concerns about a pupil, Susan Foreman, and decide to investigate.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Here's the master stroke for this story: start the setup with something familiar: a school
. This is after all a children's series and nothing would be more familiar to children than a school. When Doctor Who came back in 2005 it started with the same idea: the familiar, in that case a department store, which revealed something odd going on behind it.
<P>
We get to meet most of our main cast here. Playing Science teacher Ian Chesterton is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Russell_%28actor%29>William Russell</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0257920/?ref_=tt_cl_i2>IMDB</a>) a famous face on television from playing Sir Lancelot in the late 50s. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Hill>Jacqueline Hill</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0384340/?ref_=tt_cl_t3>IMDB</a>), playing history teacher Barbara Wright, was another 50s/early 60s television regular. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_Ann_Ford>Carole Ann Ford</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0285545/?ref_=tt_cl_i4>IMDB</a>), playing 15 year old Susan Foreman, was much older than her character: she was actually a 23 year old married Mother by the time this episode was recorded.
<P>
So if Susan is 15 she's either in her penultimate or (more likely) final year at school. Barbara has offered to tutor her if she wants to specialise in history. Surely by that age she'd have chosen which subjects to study at GCE/CSE level?
<P>
Ian's line about fog means the story must be in winter time, so it's probable that it happens at around the time the story is broadcast. At one point the teachers say to Susan "see you tomorrow" so it's not a Friday.
<p>
Four other actors appear in this show, uncredited, as the children: <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0078279/>Francesca Bertorelli</a>, <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0529064/>Heather Lyons</a>, <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0710441/>Mavis Ranson</a> and <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1726314/>Brian Thomas</a>. We'll assume Thomas is the one doing the Kenneth Williams impersonation over the shoulder of the two girls in the corridor.
<P>
Susan is reading a book she's borrowed on the French Revolution: the first season of Doctor Who finishes with a trip to revolutionary France in the 1790s. A later story,
Remembrance of the Daleks
, suggests that Susan doesn't take the book home with her but instead leaves it in the lab as that's where the Doctor's then companion Ace finds it lying on her visit to the school. The band Susan is listening to are John Smith & The Common Men: Years later the Doctor would start using John Smith as a regular alias.
</blockquote>
Talking together in the car they share their experiences teaching Susan with each other which highlights what an odd pupil she is. Following her home she goes into the junkyard we saw earlier and decide to follow....<br>
<blockquote>
Right in the very first episode we get flashbacks to events before the episode took place: 3 sets of Susan responding to her teachers in class.
<P>
A line of dialogue from Barbara spring out at me.
<blockquote>
"I feel frightened, as if we're about to interfere in something best left alone"
</blockquote>
Wonderful foreshadowing of what's going to happen. Of course we know what they'll find in there and what that will lead to but viewers in 1963 wouldn't.
</blockquote>
The Police Box inside hums as if alive..... and in through the door behind them walks an old man. Ian & Barbara, hiding from him, hear Susan call out to him from within the telephone box and address him as Grandfather....
<blockquote>
Playing the Doctor is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hartnell>William Hartnell</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0367156/?ref_=tt_cl_t1>IMDB</a>). Hartnell had acquired a reputation for playing tough guy/heavy/military types over the years. Born 8th January 1908 he was 55, younger than he looked, when he took on the role of Doctor Who which is the same age as incoming Doctor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Capaldi>Peter Capaldi</a> is now.
</blockquote>
After an exchange with "Grandfather" they hear her call out again, forcing their way in through the doors....Within the find a huge control room, far bigger than the Police Box that contains it.
<blockquote>
The moment where Ian and Barbara push through the Police Box doors in the junkyard and find themselves in the huge Tardis control one is quite fabulous, even now.

<P>
The Tardis set looks wonderful as a scale far far bigger than it could possibly be if it was inside the Police Box. The work of designer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brachacki>Peter Brachacki</a>, who worked on just this episode (and it's prior "pilot" version) stands the test of time and the basic elements of it endure to this day. Over the years the console room would shrink somewhat and I think this is the largest it ever is in the original series.
</blockquote>
Susan and her Grandfather are from another planet in another time, travelling through space & time in the Tardis, exiles from their own time & people.
<blockquote>
It's be another 6 years before we saw the Doctor and Susan's home planet. Another 10 before we discovered it's name
</blockquote>
Grandfather wants to imprison Ian & Barbara in the Tardis to stop them revealing it's existence, Susan wants to let them go. In trying to escape Ian electrocutes himself on the Tardis console. Susan and Grandfather argue about what to do in the course of which Grandfather activates the Tardis which takes off, rendering the teachers unconscious.
<blockquote>
Here elements of the title sequence are used with a zooming out picture of London to show the Tardis flight.
</blockquote>
The Tardis/Police Box now stands on some sand with a shadow being cast towards it....

<p>
The end of episode 5, the Dead Planet, is praised for it's cliffhanger with a mysterious thing threatening a member of the Tardis crew but this one's just as good. Who or what is the figure observing them? Where and when are they?
<P>
The shadow is cast by extra <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1661724/>Leslie Bates</a> who'd feature in the next episode, The Cave of Skulls as a Tribesman. He'd later return for 3 episodes of Marco Polo 1: The Roof of the World as a Man at Lop, 3: Five Hundred Eyes as a Mongol Warrior and 5: Rider from Shang-Tu as a Mongol Bandit, all of which were directed by Waris Hussein, before appearing in The Massacre: Bell of Doom as a 2nd Guard - note how the Massacre appears on the CV of two other extras in this episode as well. He'd then return in The Smugglers: Episode 1 as a Villager at Inn/a Pirate, The War Games: Episodes 3 & 4 as a 1862 Confederate Soldier, The Dæmons: Episode Two as a BBC3 TV Crewmember, Frontier in Space: Episode Three as a Lunar Guard and Episode Five as a Draconian, Invasion of the Dinosaurs: Part One as a Extra and finally Death to the Daleks: Part One to Three as an Exxilon.
<P>
It's a brilliant 25 minutes of television slowly dragging you in from the familiar into this odd other world. Even if you understood what's going on as you watch it you've no idea where the Tardis is at the end, just the ominous NEXT EPISODE: THE CAVE OF SKULLS caption before you as a hint.<br>
<br>
Some of the people associated with the start of Doctor Who don't have much involvement in the show beyond it's beginnings: This is the only script that writer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Coburn>Anthony Coburn</a> ever produced for Doctor Who. Director <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waris_Hussein>Waris Hussein</a> would return for the fourth story, the currently missing Marco Polo, but that would be the end of his involvement in the series. You can hear more about the story of how Waris Hussein came to direct for the show by listening to <a href=http://www.bigfinish.com/podcasts/v/doctor-who-toby-hadoke-s-who-s-round-6-february-4>Toby Hadoke's Who's round #6</a>. Producer <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verity_Lambert>Verity Lambert</a> would helm the first two years of Doctor Who before going to forge a very successful career in television production that lasted right up to her death in 2007. Script Editor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Whitaker_(screenwriter)>David Whitaker</a> left the show's staff at the end of the first year of production but would continue to contribute scripts into the early 1970s, including the recently recovered Enemy of the World, and would pen the very first Doctor Who novel, Doctor Who and the Daleks. The member of the behind the scenes staff that contributed the longest to the series is this episode's production assistant <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Camfield>Douglas Camfield</a> who would end up directing for the series by the end of it's first year and continue to do so very successfully right into the mid 1970s. This post provides a link to the present day series: Camfield's Production Assistant on his last story, the Seeds of Doom, was <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Harper>Graeme Harper</a> who directed two stories for Doctor Who in the 80s and then returned to work on several new series stories.
<P>
My first encounter with An Unearthly Child was on Monday 2 November 1981 when it was repeated at the opening of BBC2's Five Faces of Doctor Who season. That's not it's first repeat though: it was shown again on Saturday 30/11/1963 just before the broadcast of the second episode of the first Doctor Who serial. You've just missed another repeat for An Unearthly Child, and the three episodes that follow it, on Thursday 21st November 2013 at 22:30 on BBC4. The same night BBC2 broadcast <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01kqt9x>An Adventure In Space & Time</a> a dramatisation of the creation of Doctor Who. At the time of writing An Adventure In Space & Time is still available on the iPlayer at <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01kqt9x/An_Adventure_in_Space_and_Time/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01kqt9x/An_Adventure_in_Space_and_Time/</a>
<P>
On October 15th 1981, to tie in with the Five Faces repeat season, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0426201442/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0426201442&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">an Unearthly Child</a> was finally novelised by regular Doctor Who Books author <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrance_Dicks>Terrance Dicks</a>. I can remember borrowing a first edition copy, complete with metallic foil logo, regularly from my local library. The first Doctor Who book ever, The Daleks, gives a very different version of the events that lead Ian & Barbara into the Tardis involving a car crash on Barnes Common.... <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1445824787/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1445824787&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">A new Audiobook version of the story</a> was written by Nigel Robinson and recorded with narration by William Russell but the recent collapse of publisher AudioGo has scuppered it's release.
<P>
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563412623/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0563412623&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">An Unearthly Child</a> was released on Video on 5th Feb 1990. I got the video while I was at University, possibly as a Christmas/Birthday present in either 1991 or 1992. We watched it for the <a href=http://www.ifis.org.uk/>RHBNC Sci Fi Society (IFIS)</a> Doctor Who Thirtieth Anniversary Video Night in November 1993 (along with Destiny of the Daleks & Earthshock) and I think I've watched it every year on November 23rd since then, usually as close to the original 5:15 start time as I can. So it's quite possible that I've seen an Unearthly Child more than any other episode of Doctor Who. In this case familiarity has not bred contempt: I still love it to bits.<br>
<br>
If you've not seen An Unearthly Child then buy <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000C6EMTC?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B000C6EMTC">Doctor Who - The Beginning Boxset</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=anepisadaykee-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B000C6EMTC" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. Amazon currently have it for sale at £8.75 and for that you get the Pilot Episode, the 4 part Unearthly Child, 7 part the Daleks and 2 part Edge of Destruction. That's 63p an episode. In fact I'd be interested to hear if anyone reading hasn't seen it.<br>
<br>
Anyway, 50 years ago today Doctor Who started. Happy Anniversary everyone!

"It isn't me! It isn't me, don't you understand! I'm not the Intelligence! The Intelligence is him!"
<P>
Evans and Arnold escape the fortress' destruction with Evans fleeing from the sergeant. The Doctor returns his Yeti to Intelligence control until it's needed. They meet first the Colonel & Jamie then Arnold and move towards Piccadilly Circus. They are soon captured by Yeti as is the lone Evans. Arnold manages to escape. Travers and Victoria are brought to the ticket hall at Piccadilly Circus where they catch sight of a figure in the shadows. Dominating the hall is a large glass pyramid which Travers thinks the Intelligence will use to drain the Doctor's mind. Arnold find the long missing journalist Harold Chorley in the tunnels and takes Chorley with him. Evans is brought in to the prisoners and The Doctor taken away. He immobilises the Yeti and alters the helmet apparatus they're carrying before reactivating the Yeti and continuing. Everyone is brought to the ticket hall. Chorley enters propelled into the room by the Intelligence's servant: Staff Sergeant Arnold. Jamie is brought in by a Yeti. The Doctor is placed in the pyramid and the machine activates. Jamie orders his Yeti guard, the one brought under control earlier, to attack the Pyramid and the Yeti. The Doctor is rescued and the Pyramid destroyed, killing Arnold and immobilising the Yeti. The Doctor is distraught: he'd altered the device so the intelligence would be drained into him and not the way the Intelligence had planned. Now it's free to wander again. The Travers praise him as a hero. Making their farewells the time travellers return through the now clear tunnels to Covent Garden.
<P>
A great final episode with the Doctor cooking up a plan that gets ruined by his companions! You feel sorry for him at the end, but he's known Jamie long enough to know this is exactly what he'd do. This whole story is cracking, looks and sounds superb!
<P>
I've been convinced for a while that Haisman and Lincoln are better writers than given credit for and with this episode they proove they know their craft of writing for television. By destroying the HQ at the end of the previous episode it makes room in the studio for the Booking Hall set which has something rarely seen in a Doctor Who interior: a roof!
<P>

</center>
<P>
It's in this set that we see the Pyramid, which the inteligence is to use to drain the Doctor's mind, and the shadowy figure in the background, another throw of the dice in the mystery of who the inteligence's pawn is/
<P>

</center>
<P>
Of course the figure in the booking hall is actually Chorley. He's been missing since episode 3 and hardly mentioned since so there's a good chance that by now, 3 weeks later, the viewers at home will have forgotten who he is. If they have remembered him they'll be all but sure that the Yeti have got him. Our other coward, Evans, meanwhile has finally snapped and fled from Arnold into the tunnels where he's cornered by two Yeti:

</center>
</p>
I'll admit I was worried for Evans at this stage as that looks very like the scene in Pyramids of Mars where the Yeti's crushed by the poacher but no, all they do is pick him up and carry him off.
<P>
Meanwhile the Doctor, Jamie, Lethbridge Stewart and Anne have been herded onto Piccadilly Circus where, between scenes, Jamie vanishes to hide in a box. I think here we have to assume that the Doctor uses his control device to over-ride the Intelligence's signals allowing Jamie to hide. The question is does he wait until the Yeti guards turn their backs, keeping the device a secret from Lethbridge Stewart, or does he use it openly bringing the Colonel into his confidence?
<P>
Eventually though, like the end of a good Agatha Christie Novel, everyone's herded into one place for the big final revelation.

<P>
It's Arnold, controlled by the intelligence, a very different performance from Jack Woolger to what he's delivered earlier as Arnold. The difference is incredible! The clues are there is you know where to look: how did the Yeti know where the explosives were in the first episode? Needs to be one of the team that planted them. How did Arnold know that the Doctor hadn't been caught by the Yeti in episode 2? He'd have had access to everyone's battle gear to plant the statues. Most importantly how did he survive going into the web in episode 4? The suggestion here is that Arnold was one of the first caught in the web - has he been a liefeless Zombie for the whole story or has he only been the Intelligence's control till it needs him?
<P>
This is the last we see of the Great Intelligence until it's return in the 2012 Christmas Special, The Snowmen, that contains lots of hints to this story. Enough hints that makes me think that Steven Moffat may have had an inkling that it could be returned soon. We'll see other similar beings in the series: the Nestene Conciousness, Mara and Fenric spring to mind as do the Guardians, Eternals and Celestial Toymaker. An attempt to link these beings together as the survivors of another universe can be found in the New Adventures novel All Consuming Fire. It's also the last full appearance of a Yeti though we'll see cameos in both the War Games and Five Doctors with a flashback in Mawdryn Undead.
<P>
We get to the end of the story and you get the feeling that there's been a lot of deaths but actually the number of man characters that survive is quite close to the number that die:
<P>
Dead: Captain Knight, Staff Sergeant Arnold, Corporal Lane, Corporal Blake, Craftsman Weams, Silverstien
<P>
Survivors: Lethbridge-Stewart, Chorley, Evans, Professor Travers, Anne Travers
<P>
The Yeti in the Underground is, when you think about it, such a bonkers idea. Foam and or Web, yes, but Yeti who you'd expect to see up a Himalayan slope? Possibly this is some of the reason the story works so well placing an unfamiliar element into familiar surroundings. As Jon Pertwee observed there's nothing as scary as a Yeti on the Loo in Tooting Bec! Both of the Haisman & Lincoln six parters are cracking, probably the best Doctor Who stories I've encountered so far. They're great 6 part stories, the best examples in Doctor Who where instead of sagging in the middle or suddenly changing direction they just increase the tension a some more. I waver between the two though as to which is better! Before the return of the Web of Fear episodes I would have said Abominable Snowmen probably had a narrow edge, that being no slight on Web of Fear. But now I have four more episodes of Web of Fear it's no longer a level playing field and Web's going to win every time especially as all four episodes turned out to be better than I expected. But both stories are magnificent: I only hope Phil Morris can find more of Abominable Snowman so that story is not at a disadvantage in a fight between them and help me make a more considered judgement.
<P>
Next episode Fury from the Deep 1 represents the start of an eight episode missing run through to Wheel in Space 2. But after that there are just 9 missing episodes: Wheel in Space 4 & 7, Invasion 1 & 4 and Space Pirates 1 & 3-6.
<P>
Web of Fear was novelised by Terrance Dicks, who had made his Doctor Who debut on this story as assistant script editor, and was released in August 1976.
All six episodes of Web of Fear were issued as a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563553820/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0563553820">soundtrack cd</a> with narration by Fraser Hines which was released on 6th March 2002. The Soundtrack was re-released in a 2-pack with the previous Yeti story, The Abominable Snowmen, called <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563495359/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0563495359">Yeti Attack</a> in 2003. In November 2003 the surviving first episode was released on video with the remaining two episodes of the Faceless Ones as part of The Reign of Terror boxset with the four surviving episodes of that story. In early 2004 the surviving episode 1 was released again as part of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002XOZW4?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0002XOZW4">Doctor Who - Lost In Time</a>.

While searching Africa for missing episodes Philip Morris discovered copies of Enemy of the World 1-6 and Web of Fear 1, 2 & 4-6 at a television station in the Nigerian city of Jos. It hasn't yet been revealed exactly when he found it but a report in Doctor Who Magazine 486 has Morris talking about a church being blown up in the city while he was there. Paul Vanezies of the Restoration Team had his hands on the episodes on 31st May 2013 at the BBC's archive in Perivale. Peter Crocker started work on the picture restoration on 16th August 2013 and delivered it on the Friday 4th October. After much rumour the recovery, along with that of Web of Fear, was announced at a press conference on Thursday 10th October 2013 news of which was embargoed till midnight when <a href=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/tv-season/id704921951?affId=1736887>the episodes were released on iTunes</a>. The Web Of Fear is due for <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FRL73G6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00FRL73G6&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">a DVD release on 24th February 2014</a>, the 46th anniversary of the broadcast of episode 4. Web of Fear is currently available to watch on Virgin's On Demand service.
<P>
The return of four episodes of this story brings the number of existing sixties episodes helmed by Douglas Camfield up to 20 out of the 35 that he made. The missing episodes are The Crusade 2 & 4, The Dalek Masterplan 1, 3 & 4, 6 - 9 and 11 & 12, The Web of Fear 3 and Invasion 1 & 4. It's a shame that so much work by Doctor Who's greatest director is missing but I'm glad that so much of this story which I'd longed to see for many years does now exist. Even now, a month and a bit later whenever I watch an episode I still can't quite believe it's really back. When asked which story I'd most like back in the run up to the returns being announced I had Web of Fear at number 2 - Abominable Snowmen was my number one choice and it was followed by Power of the Daleks, Evil of the Daleks and Dalek Masterplan. Now I'm having to rethink my top 5 most wanted list to work out what the new number 5 is: Galaxy 4 ? The Myth Makers? The Smugglers? The Faceless Ones? Fury from the Deep? I can't make up my mind.
<P>
What I am almost certain of is that the Philip Morris/Doctor Who returns story isn't over yet. The piece in Doctor Who magazine 466 was very optimistic to the point of being "nudge nudge wink wink more on the way". So I'm very hopeful he'll find some more and return them to the BBC. Popular rumour claimed that Marco Polo was going to be returned with these two stories and, given the number of prints of that sold, I could well believe that has been found. There's 3 significant dates coming: tomorrow, the 50th anniversary itself, Missing Believed Wiped at the NFT on 21st November and the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of Marco Polo next year. Any of those might make a good point to announce a recovery. Another point to bear in mind is that Enemy of the World & Web of Fear were sold to the TV station in Jos as part of a package with the Abominable Snowmen and Wheel in Space. As yet I've not seen anyone answer what happened to those two sets of film prints.
<P>
As to what else might come back....

Obviously that means that the possibility of certain stories being found in TV stations abroad is greater for some stories than others. So for me the probability of recovery looks something like this starting with the least likely and working up in probability:

<P>
Of course this relies on the BBC's paperwork being correct: there have been some recent suggestions that certain stories not known to have been sold to Africa may have been passed there by another broadcaster. And, as we've seen many times, individual collectors can have almost anything in their possession! Anyway well done to Phil Morris and his team for this incredible find of nine missing episodes and here's to many more recoveries to come.
<P>
Tomorrow..... Well I suspect you can guess what episode we'll be rewatching then!

<P>
"Been working it out, I have, see. Come to the conclusion one of you two must be working for this Intelligence!"
<P>
The Intelligence relays it's instructions through Travers: The Doctor will surrender himself and have his knowledge drained by the Intelligence, which has built a machine for this purpose. They abduct Victoria and give the Doctor 20 minutes to surrender himself. Evans suggests the Doctor give himself up. Jamie wishes to rescue Victoria so he and the Colonel go on a scouting mission. However on reaching the surface they find the fungus outside. Unable to seal the outer doors they make do with closing fire doors. The Doctor gets one of Travers' broken control spheres working by thumping it and is then able to test his machine to control it. Evans confronts the Colonel & Jamie believing one of them to be a traitor. Victoria & Travers have been brought to Piccadilly Circus where the Intelligence releases the professor. Hiding in the tunnel beyond the station is the wounded Staff Sergeant Arnold. Victoria gets him to take a message to the Doctor telling him where they are. The Doctor has perfected his device and is now able to voice control a Yeti. He goes north to Warren Street to find a Yeti. Arnold is found by Jamie & the Colonel and returned to the Goodge Street HQ. The Doctor's path is blocked by fungus, and his way back by a Yeti which he takes control over. Evans tends to Arnold's wounds but as he goes to fetch something the wall of the fortress disintegrates letting the fungus in.....
<P>
The fifth part of a six part story can be a difficualt one: we've had our action episode last week and this thrilling climax is due next week. What do you do in between? Haisman and Lincoln decide to ratchet the tension up a bit on the already stressed survivors. First Victoria gets kidnapped and an old favourite, an arbitary deadline is introduced. Then as the characters, and especially the frightened Evans, start flinging accusations around as to who the traitor is, in walks the injured and bedraggled Staff Sergeant Arnold whose been missing presumed dead since the middle of the previous episode. Covered in strands of the web and still wearing his breathing gear he's unable to give an account of what happened to him after the trolley is pushed into the mist.....
<P>
Here's a thought: how's he ended up at Piccadilly circus then? hmmmmm. <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/four/800/16.html>This telesnap of the Web's progress from episode 4</a> should provide the answers. Covent Garden, where the Tarid slanded is completely surrounded by Web. The shortest distance through it is from the South West. Arnold has wandered down the same line and ended up two stations to the South West at Piccadilly Circus.
<P>
Undortunately this episode contains one of those effects that just completely take you out of the story. As Jamie & Lethbridge Stewart open the door to the surface the mass of the web is seen pushing against it. Unfortunately the effect has been realised by using something that looks the world like a giant sheet of bubble wrap!
<P>

</center>
<P>
Against that we have some nice modelwork used at the very end of the episode as the wall breaks down and the web pours into the HQ proper.
<P>
Just how cowardly Evans is is emphasised by two incidents in this episode. First he hides on a chair to get away from the Doctor's controlled sphere, like someone scared of a mouse. Except in Evans' case he has a rifle!
<p>

</center>
<P>
Then as the Colonel returns to HQ with the injured Arnold he's found concealing himself, very poorly, behind the large Underground map that dominates the Ops room and is spotted instantly by Lethbridge Stewart! His nerves are showing especially when he mangles the well known phrase into "I may be stupid but I'm not daft"
<P>
Actually look at the map in that photo: there's one clear route left open inside the Circle Line from Goodge Street down the Northern Line to Leicester Square and then down the Piccadilly Line to Piccadilly Circus where Travers and Victoria are.
<P>
It's amazing how empty the Goodge Street fortress feels in this episode. For years all we've seen of it has been episode one when it's busy and full of soldiers. Now all that's left is the Doctor and his companions, Anne, The Colonel, Evans and Arnold. Then at the end of the episode the fortress itself is breached by the web.
<P>
Am I reading this right? Is everything the Intelligence has done in this story an attempt to gain the Doctor's knowledge? That's what it seems like here. That explanation has come a little from left field here and changed the track of where we're going, almost forming the "change of location" used by many six part stories to stretch it out.
<P>
It's another cracking episode though with the survivors all at their wits end and suspicions being pointed all over the place but if I had to choose one episode to swap to get Episode 3 back it would be this one. All the real drama is in the speech and there's very little visual action to speak of.
<p>
The Web of Fear isn't the only station to use the London Underground as a setting: the resistance have a base in a disused tube station in Dalek Invasion of Earth, then Doctor and (the by then promoted) Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart visit <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorgate_station>Moorgate</a> where they fight a dinosaur in the Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Moorgate's situated on the city branch of the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Line>Northern Line</a> and was the site of the 1975 <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorgate_tube_crash>Moorgate Underground Crash</a>, the most serious accident on the London Underground. The Doctor mentions an Tube station in the Sontaran Experiment but I can't remember which one while the Mysterious Planet, parts 1-4 of The Trial of a Timelord are located in the remains of Marble Arch station. The Doctor has even availed himself of another city's Underground Railway: he visits several <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_M%C3%A9tro>Paris Metro</a> stations during The City of Death.
<P>
When I wrote the original version of this blog entry listening to the Soundtrack I was sat at my Mother's house: she had a classical music concert on (She tells me it's Swan Lake) and as I sat down to write this episode a quiet piece started with a beat sounding exactly like a Yeti control sphere!<br />
<P>
I first encountered The Web of Fear as a novelization, by Terrance Dicks, in my local library. They had an extensive range of Doctor Who books (for the time: 1981-4 ish). These are what I can recall reading there:<br />
<br />
An Unearthly Child (Paperback)<br />
The Daleks (Hardback)<br />
The Tomb of the Cybermen (Hardback)<br />
The Web of Fear (Hardback)<br />
The Claws of Axos (Hardback)<br />
The Sea Devils (Hardback)<br />
The Mutants (Hardback)<br />
Carnival of Monsters (Hardback)<br />

Genesis of the Daleks (Hardback)<br />
Revenge of the Cybermen (Hardback)<br />
Terror of the Zygons (Paperback)<br />

The Android Invasion (Paperback)<br />
The Brain of Morbius (Paperback)<br />
The Masque of Mandragora (Hardback)<br />
The Deadly Assassin (Hardback)<br />
The Stones of Blood (Paperback)<br />
Destiny of the Daleks (Hardback)<br />
State of Decay (Paperback)<br />
Logopolis (Paperback)<br />

Four to Doomsday (Paperback)<br />
Kinda (Paperback)<br />
The Visitation (Hardback)<br />
Earthshock (Paperback)<br />
Warriors of the Deep (Paperback)<br />
The Awakening (Paperback)<br />
<br />
The Web of Fear Hardback sits on my shelves at home to this day, as do the Paperbacks of Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Castrovalva. As we'll see later on it's rather appropriate that my local library, in Tudor Drive, Kingston Upon Thames, should have a copy of Invasion of the Dinosaurs....<br />
<br />
Several other Who novels were read from other locations:<br />
<br />
The Daleks (School)<br />
The Cave Monsters (School)<br />
The Terror of the Autons (School)<br />
The Doomsday Weapon (School)<br />
The Dæmons (School)<br />
The Green Death (School)<br />
Genesis of the Daleks (School)<br />
The Talons of Weng Chiang (Mobile Library)<br />
The Horror of Fang Rock (Kingston Library)<br />
<br />
And of course my parents were busy buying them for me too :-)

<P>
"I wish I could give you a precise answer. Perhaps the best way to describe it is a sort of formless, shapeless thing floating about in space like a cloud of mist, only... with a mind and will."
<P>
Knight's party are stopped from reaching Holborn by Fungus as is the Doctor's attempt to get to the Tardis. The Doctor takes a sample of the Fungus in Evans' tobacco tin. Returning to HQ they find the soldiers, including Weams, dead and Professor Travers missing. The Ops room map shows more stations have fallen to the fungus with just a few left. Lethbridge-Stewart speculates on who the traitor is, thinking it may be the abducted Professor Travers while the Doctor feels the absent Chorley is a much more likely candidate. The Doctor tells them about the Tardis and the Colonel decides to mount a rescue mission. The Doctor and Anne work on a device to override the Intelligence's signals and control a Yeti. Evans finds one of the missing Yeti models which the Doctor deactivates. Arnold, Lane & Evans are to take a trolley to Covent Garden while he takes the majority of the soldiers overground to the station. Examining Evans' tobacco tin The Doctor finds it empty, casting suspicion on the Welsh driver. Arnold & Lane don respiratory gear and venture into the fungus with the trolley. Hearing screams Evans drags the trolley back finding Lane's dead body on it. Lethbridge-Stewart's party are ambushed by Yeti. Captain Knight accompanies the Doctor to the surface to fetch electronic spares. While they are raiding a shop a Yeti enters, killing Knight before leaving. Searching Knight's body the Doctor finds one of the other two missing Yeti statues. He returns to Goodge Street just before Lethbridge-Stewart, the sole survivor of the surface expedition to Covent Garden. Searching the Colonel's pockets they find the final Yeti statue as two Yeti enter with an Intelligence possessed Professor Travers.<br />
<br />
It's a bit of a bloodbath this episode with virtually the entire supporting cast wiped out. So by the end of it suspects for the traitor are few and you can make an excellent case for it being the missing Chorley, absent for the entire episode. When I first watched this episode for the blog I said that the fight scenes sounded good and looked great from the telesnaps (it was the first time I'd seen them) and that there was even a few moments of the battle preserved thanks to the Australian censors which gave us our first surviving glimpse of Lethbridge-Stewart. Now of course we can watch the entire thing. I'll freely admit that, tipped off by a comment made online, one of the first things I watched when the downloads became available was the battle from this episode (appropriately enough on my iPad while in the bathroom) and it's fab, a superb action sequence. The rest of the episode is superb too especially the sequence with Arnold, Lane and Evans pushing the trolley into the web: Arnold and Lane go in but following screams only Lane's body is pulled out with Arnold missing presumed dead. This scene is one of two sequences in the episode where Camfield's filmed back through the web to show the action occurring outside it and the effect looks superb. It's worth noting that the cowardly Evans doesn't even try to do a bunk following this he just heads straight back to HQ.

That version of the scene appears to be the web effect vision mixed over the scenes in the tunnel but earlier, as the Doctor collects the fungus there's a physical layer too which then has the pulsing web laid over it as the Doctor tries to cut some off

It's interesting looking at the supporting cast: the first few episodes gave us lots of named characters in the army but here most of them are used up giving us one named death per major incident with the Yeti:
<P>
Weams dies in the Yeti attack on HQ.
<BR>Lane is killed trying to move the trolley through the Web. Arnold disappears in the same incident but at the moment his fate is uncertain.
<BR>Blake is the final casualty in the battle at Covent Garden which only Lethbridge-Stewart survives.
<BR>Knight is killed by the Yeti at the electronics shop.
<P>
You can make a decent case for the traitor being Lethbridge-Stewart at this juncture: he doesn't recognise Evans, supposedly his driver to Holborn, he's responsible for the deaths of all the army personnel trying to get to the Tardis and he's the only character carrying around a Yeti model to survive. Yet we, as 2013 Doctor Who fans know it can't be him. It'd be nice to see some contemporary reviews and see if anyone jumped to that conclusion.
<P>
Despite this attempt to rescue the Tardis Lethbridge-Stewart doesn't even see the outside of the Tardis here, that'd have to wait till the Third Doctor's/Jon Pertwee's debut story in 1970. As for the inside of the Tardis, he doesn't see that for another 5 years after this! He first goes inside in the Three Doctors and interestingly it's Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor in it then!
<P>
What did happen to the Fungus in Evans' Tobacco Tin? Did it just evaporate? This is really the only solution that makes sense. As far as we can see Evans didn't tamper with it or pass it to anyone else.
<P>
This episode is really, really fabulous well worth a watch and one of the best examples of sixties Doctor Who I've seen. We might be be upset about episode 3, the first proper appearance of Lethbridge-Stewart being missing but I think it would have been so much worse if this episode had been the one missing from the set in Nigeria.
<p>
If Douglas Camfield makes one mistake in this episode it's his use of Martin Slavin's Space Adventure over the Covent Garden battle scene. Not that it isn't suitable or doesn't fir the action, it works fine on those points. It's just that to my mind, and many other Doctor Who fans too, this piece of music is too strongly associated with the Cybermen having been used in The Tenth Planet, Moonbase and Tomb of the Cybermen.
<P>
The appearances of the actors who play the Yeti in these episodes are somewhat chaotic: not every actor is in every episode nor are they credited for the ones they're in. Episode four, with it's battle, easily contains the most with four Yeti actors appearing and a further one uncredited. According to IMDB this is who appeared in what episode: C indicates they're credited, U that they're uncredited and a blank that they're not in that episode:

If you're a Doctor Who fan you'll immediately recognise the top name on that list: John Levene, the future UNIT Sergeant Benton. He'd already had an uncredited role in <a href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810580/>The Moonbase episode 3</a> in early 1967 as a Cyberman. He then spent most of the rest of the year appearing as an extra in Z-Cars notching up 13 episodes between March and September. Four of these were directed by Douglas Camfield, who re-employs him here and would later use him on an episode of Detective, and another was by future Who producer Barry Letts, who was in charge of Doctor Who when Levene became a regular.
<P>
The Web of Fear is Gordon Stothard's first acting job. He returns as a Cyberman in four episodes of the Wheel in Space and then, uncredited, as a Prison Officer in Mind of Evil. After that he changes his stage name to Gordon St Clair and appears under this name as Grun, the King's Champion, in all four episodes of the Curse of Peladon. John Lord also returns as Masters, one of Reegan's henchmen in episode 4 of The Ambassadors of Death.
<P>
Meanwhile we also have a few more extras playing the soldiers and amongst them are some very familiar names:

<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752791/>Philip Ryan</a> (on the right)returns to Doctor Who in the Mind Robber 2 & 3 as a Redcoat and Inferno 5 & 6 (director D Camfield). <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0174337/>Tim Condren</a> (center) had been in Time Meddler 4: Checkmate as a Saxon Warrior (I wonder who directed that ;-) ? ) and would return in Day of the Daleks 1 as a Guerilla. His lengthy career involves a lot of extra and stunt work. But the three most recognisable names here are <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Ware_%28actor%29>Derek Ware</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0912095/>IMDB</a>), <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Walsh_%28actor%29>Terry Walsh</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0909882/>IMDB</a>) and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Martin>Derek Martin</a> (<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0552180/>IMDB</a>.

<P>
In this photo Martin's on the right looking at the camera, Walsh is semi obscured behind him and to the left and to the left of him, looking left, is Ware. (My Thanks to David Brunt for correcting my identification of who's who in the photos) Derek Martin's already been in two Doctor Whos: The Romans 4: Inferno as an uncredited extra and The Massacre 3: Priest of Death as a Parisian in Rue des Fosses St. Germain, again uncredited. Several more roles will follow before his only onscreen credits as David Mitchell in Image of the Fendahl 1 & 2. Nowadays he's best known for playing Charlie Slater in Eastenders.
<P>
Derek Ware had worked on the program since the very beginning serving as the fight arranger on the very first story, which Camfield worked on as a Production Assistant. He returns for the Aztecs and then the Crusade (Camfield's full directorial debut), cameos as a Bus Driver in The Chase 6: Planet of Decision (in a sequence directed by Camfield). He serves as a Trojan Solider & Fight Arranger for the Myth Makers before being reunited with Camfield during the Daleks Masterplan. He serves as a Spaniard & Fight Arranger on the Smugglers, which is also Terry Walsh's Who debut as a Militiaman, before Fight Arranging episode 3 of the Underwater Menace. For probably your clearest view of him see the first three episodes of Inferno where he's Private Wyatt. He founded the Havoc group of stuntmen, used regularly by Doctor Who in the early 70s until the point where Terry Walsh took over as regular stuntman for the Doctor doubling for first Jon Pertwee and then Tom Baker.

There's some excellent location work in this episode involving the battle scenes in Covent Garden, <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/stories/weboffear>filmed in and around the real world location</a> . It's really odd seeing the Yeti above the surface wandering the streets of London after our only glimpses of them for years was in the tube tunnels.

<P>
There's some lovely behind the scenes shots from this location shoot in the recently released <a href=http://www.mirrorcollection.co.uk/products/details/doctor_who/doctor_who/>Daily Mirror - The Doctors Archive</a> which is well worth a look for many older and previously unseen photos.
<P>
More of the story would have been filmed on location, but famously Douglas Camfield was denied permission to film on the Underground. However we'd already seen filming involving London Underground locations in a previous Doctor Who story. In the first episode Dalek Invasion of Earth the river bridge, under which a roboman throws himself to death on location which is then recreated in studio, was <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/kewrailwaybridge>Kew Railway Bridge</a> which carries the District Line over the Thames between Kew and Gunnersbury. Later that same episode there's location filming of Barbara & Susan crossing a deserted London including some filmed at the abandoned <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/woodlanestation>Wood Lane</a> Central Line station. In Web of Fear the Army's fortress is the Deep Level Shelter at Goodge Street. Another Deep Level Shelter, at <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/camdentownshelters>Camden Town</a>, provides a location in The Sunmakers. Incredibly the country railway station seen in Black Orchid was at one time a London Underground station! <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quainton_Road_railway_station>Quainton Road Station</a> was once served by Metropolitan line trains. The Met terminates now at Amersham, but once upon a time continued north, through Aylesbury to Quainton after which it branched to either Verney Junction or Brill, which is in Oxfordshire!<br />
<br />
If you'd like to see The London Underground's homage to Doctor Who then visit the Jubilee line station at London Waterloo. The panels used on the wall there are suspiciously Tardis like <a href=http://www.ifis.org.uk/social/gallery/?search=tardis&startyear=1998&endyear=2011>as you can see in these photos</a>.

"Don't you understand, Sergeant? I've... I've got to get out of here!"
<P>
On the original run of the Blog we found ourselves half half way through the Troughton episodes with this episode, though of course the production team didn't know that at the time. Neither did they have an idea quite how important today's episode would turn out to be. You'll know why virtually immediately.<br />
<br />
Evans shoots at the glass pyramid shattering it but the fungus web in the tunnels continues to advance. Victoria is calling for the Doctor in the tunnels when she is waylaid by the soldier "One Moment" he says stepping out the shadows, but he's accompanied by the Doctor. Learning they're connected with Travers he takes them back to Goodge Street. Anne reports to Captain Knight that the circle line is completely enclosed with fungus now. Arnold delivers word that Victoria has returned, with the Doctor and a Colonel. The Doctor tells Victoria he was knocked out by the explosion and then met the Colonel in the tunnels. Blake guards the Colonel waiting for Knight. When he arrives the Colonel introduces himself: He is Colonel Lethbridge Stewart and presents his authorisation papers to take over command of the Goodge Street fortress. Travers and Ann apologise for the misunderstanding that led Victoria to go into the tunnels. Now on the Central Line, Jamie & Evans have reached St Paul's. At the fortress Chorley is trying his best to leave. Travers recounts how one of the control spheres brought back from Tibet was reactivated. Reaching Chancery Lane, Evans and Jamie part company with the Welsh driver attempting to return to the surface. Knight & Lethbridge-Stewart hold a briefing bringing the Doctor up to speed on how the mist and fungus appeared and spread. Chorley interrupts proposing they be air lifted out, but the Colonel dismisses the idea. Jamie is reunited with Evans: he couldn't get out because the gates were locked. Queensway, Lancaster Gate, Strand and Chancery Lane all fall to the fungus as it works it's way inwards from the circle line. The Colonel gives Chorley the job of liaison officer to keep him occupied and out of the way. The Doctor suggest a way of remote detonating some explosives in the tunnel to seal themselves in. Someone is opening the main door to the fortress. Victoria finds the Yeti models in Travers' lab - however one is missing. Elsewhere the missing model is placed on the floor, making a bleeping noise summoning a Yeti. Victoria is horrified by the plan to blow up the tunnel: Jamie won't be able to get to them. The Yeti enters the base. Knight finds the padlock for the door and the Yeti model at the explosives store and leaves Lane guarding it. The Doctor opens the explosive store to find it full of web: the Yeti have destroyed their means of attack. The Colonel and Knight take a squad to Holborn to attempt to recover the explosives there. Victoria accidentally tells Chorley about the Tardis at Covent Garden and he leaves to find it, shutting the Doctor and Victoria in a room. They're released by Jamie and Evans. They all depart to find Chorley. There's a scream in fortress: Travers finds Weams's body with a Yeti looming over him.<br />
<br />
You can't get round it, what you have to talk about this episode is the first appearance of Lethbridge Stewart, here still ranked as Colonel. He'll be back more often than any other character in Doctor Who and Nicholas Courtney would have a job for life. But it could all have been so different: Originally cast in the role was <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Langton>David Langton</a>, who backed out in late November after being offered other work. Camfield instead offered the part to <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Courtney>Nicholas Courtney</a>, who he'd previously used in Dalek Masterplan, and he had planned to have played Captain Knight. The script, as written, calls the character Colonel Lethbridge: Douglas Camfield altered the name to Lethbridge Stewart. Of course *knowing* that Colonel Lethbridge Stewart would go on to become such a huge part of the show does rather defuse an aspect of the story here: he shows up, with slightly flimsy credentials, and suddenly things start going wrong in the fortress. Someone's under the intelligence's control and, without the knowledge of the future, Lethbridge Stewart is your number one suspect. Once you know who the traitor is it's worth going back and listening to the episodes again: they do drop some little tiny hints on the way.
<P>
Your main alternate suspect at this stage is Chorley, new holder of the "most annoying character in Doctor Who" trophy. He's busy going to pieces here and looking for a way, any way, out of the situation he finds himself trapped in. The way that Lethbridge-Stewart deals with him, sending him off into a corner to "co-ordinate" things is fabulous. Evans too blatantly doesn't want to be there as his refrain of "shouldn't be down here at all, you know. Driver, I am." makes clear. Unfortunately his attempt at doing a bunk goes rather wrong and he ends up back with Jamie in the tunnels. The theme of being trapped is emphasised by the hope of escape being closed off as the Circle Line completely falls to the fungus sealing them in.
<P>
We've got a station mentioned in this episode that you won't find on any present Tube map: The Strand was then the name for the Northern Line station that now forms part of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charing_Cross_tube_station>Charring Cross</a>.
<P>
The cast of this story features some familiar faces from other Doctor Who productions. As we've noted, Nicholas Courtney was previously Brett Vyon in Dalek Masterplan and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Watling>Jack Watling</a> was Edward Travers in his previous appearance in Abominable Snowmen. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Watson_(actor)>Ralph Watson's</a> already been a scientist in The Underwater Menace before he featured as Captain Knight here and will be back as Ettis in Monster of Peladon and Ben in Horror of Fang Rock - his fellow lighthouse keeper Reuben was played by Colin Douglas who was Donald Bruce in the previous story. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Whittaker>Stephen Whittaker</a> appears as Craftsman Weams. In 1967 he'd been in both parts of the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Cars>Z-Cars</a> story Finch & Sons, directed by Douglas Camfield. As we've noted previously part 2 also features episode 1's soldier <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1553619/?ref_=tt_cl_t13>Bernard G. High</a> and <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0604975/?ref_=tt_cl_t8>Richardson Morgan</a> who plays Corporal Blake here. Camfield had used Richardson Morgan during 1967 in Z-Cars again as an Ambulance Man in The Placer part 2 (which also features Yeti actor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Levene>John Levene</a>, previously a Cyberman in Moonbase) and he'd return playing James Bilson in the two part Camfield directed Fear or Favour in 1969. He'd later work for Camfield yet again in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Valk_%28TV_series%29>Van Der Valk</a>. <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0063518/?ref_=tt_cl_t7>Rod Beacham</a>, as Corporal Lane, is in his first TV job here. Camfield would ruse him in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Branch_%28TV_series%29>Special Branch</a>: Assault (1973). He'd go on to become a writer and pen the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake%27s_7>Blake's 7</a> episode Assassin - interestingly the NEXT Blake's 7 episode was written by the former actor <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0529021>Bill Lyons</a> who was in the PREVIOUS Doctor Who story The Enemy of the World as a guard. <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0738345/?ref_=tt_cl_t10>Jon Rollason</a>, as Harold Chorley, has a significant role on his CV as Dr. Martin King, one of John Steed's temporary assistants following the departure of Dr David Keel, in the first few episodes of the second series of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_%28TV_series%29>The Avengers</a>. <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0689614/?ref_=tt_cl_t13>Derek Pollitt</a>, Driver Evans, will return as Private Wright in Doctor Who and the Silurians, and A. St. John D. Caldera in Shada. Where's Walter Randall? It's not a proper Camfield production without him!
<P>
Of the remaining human cast <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Woolgar>Jack Woolgar</a>, as Staff Sgt. Arnold, had had a <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941212/>long TV career</a>. <a href=http://www.jackwoolgar.org.uk/>A web site</a> set up by his son is worth a look especially as <a href=http://www.jackwoolgar.org.uk/DR_who.htm>it includes an article on this story</a>. <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0655507/?ref_=tt_cl_t5>Tina Packer</a>, Anne Travers, was a TV regular at the time who later emigrated to the USA where she <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_%26_Company_%28Massachusetts%29>founded a theatre company</a>.
<P>
So Web of Fear 3: The one that got away. When Phil Morris found the episodes of Web of Fear and Enemy of the World at the TV Station in Jos Web of Fear 3 was the one missing. Doctor Who Magazine 466 confirms that this is the state of affairs in it's fabulous article on the missing episode finds, which hopefully puts to death the rumours that it's being held back somewhere: it just wasn't there. Sad but true. Things get lost the entire time and the world of Doctor recordings is prone to that: when Ian Levene first visited the BBC archive there were certain stories there with odd episodes missing: Tenth Planet (4), Dominators (5), Invasion (1 & 4), Krotons (4) and Seeds of Death (6). Planet of the Daleks was missing the tape of episode 3. When the videotapes of Invasion of the Dinosaurs were located episode 1 was AWOL. Yes it's a pain that one episode of the story is missing, and yes it is a pain it's a significant one, featuring the first appearance of Lethbridge Stewart. Web of Fear now joins the Tenth Planet as the only two stories which have just one episode missing and oddly BOTH are significant: the missing Tenth Planet 4 is the last regular episode to feature William Hartnell as the first Doctor.
<P>
In it's place on <a href=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/tv-season/id704945256?affId=1736887>iTunes</a> we get a reconstruction: the off air audio recording is married to the Telesnaps for the episode. I'm a fan of Telesnap reconstructions and personally prefer them to the animations where possible as they're a step close to the original show than inventing new pictures. For the Invasion and Reign of Terror then yes animate them as no Telesnaps exist. But for the other stories with less than two episodes missing - The Crusade, Tenth Planet, Underwater Menace, Moonbase and The Ice Warriors - I'd much prefer them to be presented with a full length telesnap recon even if an animation is also included. I've made my own for the Moonbase and was very pleased when the existing Tenth Planet recon was included on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EF1I85Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00EF1I85Y&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">the Tenth Planet DVD</a>.
<P>
The creators of the recon have added a little embellishment to the telesnaps with sideways movement across the picture and zooming in. But by far the biggest thing they've done is embellish the sequence where Evans obtains his chocolate bar from the machine:

The shot of the chocolate machine doesn't appear <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/three/contactsheet.shtml>in this episode's telesnaps</a>. I think it's been lifted from another episode's snaps, zoomed in, with the image of the back of soldier inserted. More is to follow as the chocolate bar emerges:

<P>
This has been completely created anew for the recon and those responsible have taken the opportunity to insert a little visual joke. A well known brand of milk chocolate has it's name corrupted to become Camfield's Fairy Milk as a homage to the director.
<P>
One thing I got from the recon was how the web started out covering an area of South Kensington. That'd tie in nicely with the original intention to use the Natural History museum as the location for the Yeti's reawakening shown in the first episode.
<P>
As I pointed out in <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/177-abominable-snowmen-episode-four.html>Abominable Snowmen episode 4</a>, Mervyn Haisman & Henry Lincoln tend to have some form of source for their character names. We've already seen how Staff Sgt Arnold and Corporal Lane probably got their names from the Pink Floyd song Arnold Layne but what of the rest of the characters? Several can be found on the London Underground map! We've mentioned how Colonel Lethbridge Stewart had his name lengthened: If you taken the original version of his name, Lethbridge, and put it after the name of his Captain you'll see that KNIGHT and lethBRIDGE probable share a joint origin in Knightsbridge station on the Piccadilly Line. Corporal Blake comes from the now disused <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Hall_tube_station>Blake Hall</a> on the eastern extremes of the Central Line while Harold Chorley probably gets his name from <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_station>Chorleywood</a> near the now limits of the Metropolitan Line. I've seen it suggested that Weams, an unusual name in itself, might be a deformation and shortening of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Ham_station>West Ham</a>. There's plenty of stations with the word Lane in their title. That really just leaves Evans, the Driver unaccounted for.... You are invited to look at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_London_Underground_stations>The list of Underground Stations</a> and have a guess!
<P>
Weams and Arnold also probably benefit from Military Buff Douglas Camfield's presence directing the show. Weams is given the unusual rank of Craftsman: this indicates he's a <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_%28rank%29#United_Kingdom>private in the Royal Engineers</a> while a <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_ranks>Staff Sergeant</a> is a higher ranking NCO than a Sergeant. It all helps to add realistic detail to the company assembled in the tube tunnels.
<P>
Since I've started blogging these episodes again I've become aware that Virgin On Demand users can view The Web Of Fear at the moment for free! Enjoy!

"It's no good, Jamie, they can't hear!... What have we done?"
<P>
The soldiers have discovered the Doctor was at Charring Cross. Captain Knight dispatches Staff Sergeant Arnold to find him. Weams reports that blast recorder has measured no damage. Word comes in that there is trouble at Holborn and Jamie, to his alarm, overhears the word Yeti. On the phone line gunfire is heard and a roar before the line goes dead. Knight takes a team of soldiers to Holborn to see what's happened. Arnold & Blake find the destroyed explosive boxes under the Yeti's web: both suspect the Doctor of interference. Travers is reunited with Jamie and Victoria, vouching for them to the soldiers. Arnold returns, sure that the Doctor has sabotaged the explosion. Jamie, insisting that the Doctor didn't do it, says he suspects he knows where the Doctor can be found. The journalist, Chorley, is suspicious of the Doctor & his friends as well. Falling back from Holborn Knight's party have been engaged by Yeti, with several soldiers killed by the web guns. They attempt to build a barricade, packed with explosives which they detonate but the Yeti are unharmed. Victoria overhears Ann Travers accusing the Doctor of being responsible for the Yeti and leaves the fortress to find him, not hearing Professor Travers robust denial and defence of his old friend. Arnold & Jamie have met Knight & Lane in the tunnels but all are captured by Yeti. Blake & Weams speculate about the origins of the Yeti, with the Doctor being accused of responsibility again. The illuminated underground map on the shelter wall suddenly starts to shows the Yeti's web fungus advancing round the circle line at both the top and bottom of the loop. Travers is informed and is astonished at the rate of progress. Chorley suggests the Doctor's responsible. Victoria has become lost in the tunnels. Meanwhile the Yeti guarding Jamie and the soldiers suddenly are summoned away and walk off abandoning their prisoners. They hear a welsh voice singing in the tunnels and meet Evans, the driver on the ammunition truck. He has seen the web advancing following a Yeti holding a pyramid. Remembering how the Pyramids helped the Intelligence maintain it's earthbound presence in Tibet, Jamie leaves with Evans to destroy the pyramid. Evans meanwhile intends to do a runner at the earliest opportunity. They proceed to Cannon Street and onwards to Monument. Chorley wants to evacuate the base. Knight and Arnold return to base with no news: all three of the time travellers are now missing in the tunnels. An unknown soldier stalks Victoria in the tunnels. Jamie and Evans hear a noise, then see a light: the Fungus is advancing down the tunnel towards them!<br />
<br />
This episode, with it's battle with the Yeti in the tunnels sounds superb. Like Abominable Snowmen we've got an early episode existing so we've got a decent idea of what everything looks like, helped here by (if you're a Londoner) familiarity with the location. When Haysman and Lincoln last did a Doctor Who story they had accusations being flung at the Doctor that he's responsible for the alien menace. The same trick is used again here. Last time suspicion passed round the cast when we knew who was responsible: this time it's slightly different. Patrick Troughton's on holiday this week but unlike Evil of the Daleks 4, where all his material was pre filmed, he doesn't appear at all. Similarly the Army boots seen in the tunnel towards the end aren't filled with their usual owner but instead are occupied by by Maurice Brooks, saving the cost of hiring the actor in question for a cameo scene.<br />
<br />
The main setting for this story is the Deep Level Shelter at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodge_Street_tube_station>Goodge Street Tube Station</a>. Constructed at various points along the Northern line these shelters exist bellow the level of the tube stations to offer a good level of protection in the event of an air raid. People had been sheltering in Tube stations since the start of WWII, indeed Churchill used the disused <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_Street_tube_station>Down Street Tube Station</a> as a shelter. If you watch the James Bond film, Die Another Day, the fictional Vauxhall Cross station <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Cross_tube_station>Vauxhall Cross Tube Station</a> shown in the film occupies the space where Down Street would be on the Pica dilly Line map. For more information on deep level shelters see <a href=http://underground-history.co.uk/shelters.php>http://underground-history.co.uk/shelters.php</a>. Ten years later the Camden Town deep level shelter would be <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/camdentownshelters>used in a location during Doctor Who: The Sunmakers</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_map>The London Underground Tube Map</a> features prominently in this and subsequent episode, particularly in the form of an <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/42.shtml>illuminated version</a> on the wall of the Goodge Street Fortress showing the progress of the web fungus. The tube map is a piece of iconic design created by draftsman <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Beck>Harry Beck</a> that's become an icon of London in it's own right and a template for public transport maps everywhere. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1854141686/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1854141686">Mr. Beck's Underground Map</a> is a great read on the development of this important document.<br />
<br />
The <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/42.shtml>map at Goodge Street</a> helps us date this story: No <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_line>Victoria line</a> is shown so it's prior to 1st September 1968 when the branch from Walthamstow Central to Highbury & Islington in North London opened.
<P>
This week's randomly credited soldier is played by <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1924712/>Joseph O'Connell</a>. He'd been in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Cars>Z-Cars</a>: The Great Fur Robbery Part 2 the previous year. The episode is one of 3 to feature episode 1's soldier, <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1553619/?ref_=tt_cl_t13>Bernard G. High</a>, as Detective Constable John and was directed by this story's director Douglas Camfield.
<P>
The so called "Omni Rumour" of impending episode returns swept fandom during 2013 - I've written about it before <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/missing-episodes-history-returns-and.html>here</a> and <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/more-on-those-missing-episode-rumours.html>here</a>. The rumours varied from telling to telling with anything up to 96 episodes returned. The most popular variant was the "MEW" version: Marco Polo, Enemy of the World and Web of Fear. And out of all these the one that really thrilled me was the possibility of seeing more of Web of Fear. These rumours rumbled on and on until on October 6th the Sunday People, a national newspaper, <a href=http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/106-doctor-who-episodes-uncovered-2343474>ran a story about missing episodes</a> on their website. At that point mainstream media really took an interest leading to <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24448063>this report on the BBC Website</a> which all but confirmed the story to be true in some form!
<P>
Thursday 10th October was an odd, odd day to be a Doctor Who fan. Debbie Watling's website had let slip the press conference was that day but an plan to Live Tweet it by The Daily Telegraph was scuppered by the news revealed being embargoed till midnight. I spent the day listening to my Web of Fear Soundtrack for what I hoped would be the last time. Many who fans (guilty as charged m'lud) spent most of their day glued to their PCs in the hope of a leak from the press conference. And sure enough someone accidentally let the cat out the bag with Northern Echo posting the story on their website just after 6pm..... and removing it about thirty minutes later when they realised.
<P>
But by then the secret was out: All the missing episodes of Enemy of the World and four of the five missing episodes of The Web of Fear had been found and what's more they'd be on iTunes the next day!
<P>
To explain to my readers who may not know: I suffer from a neuro muscular condition that leaves me very tired. Sheer excitement had meant I didn't sleep in the afternoon like I usually do. Unfortunately the weather conditions that night left me in a lot of pain so I was still awake come midnight when the episodes were released. So surrendering to the inevitable I got up, stuck the PC on and attempted to download the newly revealed episodes. Because the secret of comedy is timing at that point Windows Update decided to lock up my machine for ages and then the weather had a go at our broadband connection in a way it hasn't done for some time. But before I got to sleep that night (2:30am, not great) I'd seen some of episode 1 of Enemy of the World, the very start of episode 2 of Web of Fear and, because I'd been tipped off that it was good, the battle scene from episode 4 of Web of Fear (appropriately enough on my iPad while in the Loo!)
<P>
Given a choice between Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear, The Web Of Fear wins every time so I set out the next day to watch the story. Unfortunately real life had intervened and I needed to go out for the morning. How would I get to see the episodes? Simple, I took the iPad with so my first experience of the recovered episode 2 and the recon for episode 3 was watching them on the iPad on the bus!
<P>
Oddly enough, just as I was starting episode 3, I had a text from my friend Ralph who was doing exactly the same thing with Enemy of the World!
<P>
The were two scenes that really stood out for me in the episode watching it for the first time: One was Blake & Weams chatting to each other over tea, it just looked so natural. Two Pals having a chat. <P>
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/10384295656/" title="Web2_tea by philip_ayres, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2848/10384295656_4fc3779969.jpg" width="500" height="371" alt="Web2_tea"></a>
</center>
<P>
While they're talking Blake describes the group in the fortress as "A right Fred Karno's army" a reference I've never got and never thought to look up till now. <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Karno>Fred Karno</a> was a music hall impresario in the late 19th and early 20th century who employed a group of comedians - among them Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin - as part of a group known as Fred Karno's Army, a term which became used as slang for "a chaotic organisation". Karno had <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria_%28recording_studio%29>the Astoria Houseboat</a>, no doubt named after the theatre, constructed in 1911. It's now used as a recording studio by the Pink Floyd musician Dave Gilmour.
<P>
The other scene that really stands out was when Travers meets Jamie & Victoria again. Listening to it it's dominated by Jamie but watching it is a revelation:
<P>
<Center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/10384255054/" title="Web2_victoria by philip_ayres, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7319/10384255054_960549c748.jpg" width="500" height="371" alt="Web2_victoria"></a>
</center>
<P>The picture concentrates on Victoria as the light slowly dawns in her eyes that this portly older man is the same Edward Travers they met two adventures back in Tibet.
<P>
I've also noticed for the first time quite how intrusive Chorley's Microphone is, how he's constantly pressing it into everyone's faces as he's <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/07.shtml>interviewing Victoria</a> and then <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/09.shtml>taping the battle at Holborn</a>, much to Captain Knight's disgust.
<P>
The one place this episode falls down at being able to see it is Jamie & Evans' venture eastward/clockwise on the District/Circle line. It's only a problem if you know the locations: Compare <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/53.shtml>Telesnap 53 showing Jamie & Evans at Cannon Street</a> with <a href=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cannon_Street_underground_station,_EC4_-_geograph.org.uk_-_830285.jpg>the real thing</a> and likewise <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/weboffear/two/59.shtml>telesnap 59 of Jamie & Evans at Monument</a> with <a href=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monument_underground_station.jpg>the actual station</a>. All stations on the District/Circle line are built using the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_and_cover#Cut-and-cover>Cut & Cover method</a> which results in larger more open station areas than those used for the deep level tunnel lines, like the Northern where most of this story's action takes place. Seeing Monument and Cannon street represented by the typical deep level station design is just wrong. The design is broadly similar from station to station, which allows director Douglas Camfield to use the same set for all the stations with just the name signs redressed.
<P>
But a big HURRAH for the appearance of a Troughton stable, for the first time on moving pictures, at the end of this episode: The foam machine is here pumping foam into the station to represent the web!
<P>
When we listened this episode for Blog the first time we entered into our joint longest run of missing episodes at 13 episodes, equalling the run from Tenth Planet 4 - Underwater Menace 2. Here it consisted of Web of Fear 2-6, Fury from the Deep 1-6 (the whole story) and Wheel in Space 1 & 2. But after that there was just NINE missing episodes of Doctor Who...... all that's different now though. For a start for nearly two years this was the longest run of Doctor Who missing episodes due to Underwater Menace 2 showing up! Tenth Planet 4 to Underwater Menace 1 solely annexes the record at 12 consecutive missing episodes. Next we get the remainder of the run that used to start here which is now an 8 from Fury from the Deep 1 - Wheel in Space 2. After that comes the 7 from Galaxy 4 1 to Dalek Masterplan 1 and the 7 that represents the whole of Marco Polo - although if rumours are to believed that may change. Web of Fear 2 now represents the end of an 11 episode run of existing Troughton episodes from Ice Warriors 4 through Enemy of the World to this episode. It equals the 11 from Wheel in Space 6 through the Dominators to Mind Robber 5 and only beaten by the 14 from Invasion 5 through the Krotons to Seeds of Death 6

"Now is it safe?"<br>
"Oh, I shouldn't think so for a moment!"
<P>
I wrote this originally on Wednesday 4th May 2011. Yeah I was a few days ahead but there was a couple of trips away coming up and a hospital visit so having a few (29) blog entries in the bank did't hurt. Besides it meant that I got to spend the morning of my Birthday watching one of my favourite surviving episodes of sixties Doctor Who. And as a bonus I get to talk about the London Underground too! RESULT!<br />
<br />
Jamie closes the doors on the Tardis sealing them off from the forces pulling them outside. At a museum in London the elderly Edward Travers is arguing with the museum's owner, Julius Silverstien, for the return of his Yeti when Travers' daughter Ann arrives. Travers tells her that he has reactivated a Yeti control sphere but it's gone missing. She persuades him to come home with her. The museum's owner goes to lock up when he hears a crash. The Control Sphere has broken through a window, reactivating and changing the Yeti. The beast comes alive killing Silverstien. The Tardis materialises in space but finds itself quickly coated in a web like substance. In London some soldiers are in an underground shelter Corporal Lane is on the telephone as Corporal Blake searches for Captain Knight. Knight is giving an interview to journalist Harold Chorley, paying tribute to their commanding officer, Colonel Pemberton, who has been recently killed. Travers is brought in by some soldiers: his presence has been requested by his daughter who is working here. The Web clears a little allowing the Doctor to move the Tardis half a mile from where they were expected to land. They are in a tunnel. Exploring they find they are on the platform of Covent Garden Underground station. The Doctor believes it's night time but walking to the locked surface gates they find it's broad daylight. A news paper seller sits against the gate, but when Jamie taps him on the shoulder he topples over dead, revealing a sign reading "Londoners Flee! Menace Spreads!" Retreating to the tunnels Jamie steps onto the track but fortunately for him the power is off. As they walk down the tunnels to the next station suddenly the tunnel is illuminated. Hiding, they are passed by three soldiers unravelling a drum of cable. Jamie & Victoria follow the soldiers while the Doctor traces the cable back to it's source. Craftsmen Weams thinks he hears something in the tunnel but Staff Sergeant Arnold dismisses his fears. However Victoria then walks into a cob web and screams, allowing the three soldiers to capture them. The Doctor follows the cable to Charring Cross station where he finds in wired to boxes of explosives. He hears a familiar beeping sound and ducks under the platform as a Yeti walk onto the station. Back at the base Lane is unable to contact Holborn to find out what's happened to their ammunition truck. Ann Travers tells him and Captain Knight that she's repaired the blast recorder. Another Yeti joins the first, both pointing guns at the explosives box which cover it in a web like substance. Arnold brings Jamie & Victoria to the fortress where Knight hasn't got time to question them. They tell Arnold they were alone, trying to stop them hunting for the Doctor. However now he believes there's nobody in the tunnels Arnold reports to Knight it's safe to detonate the explosives. There's a small blast on the platform and the web covering the boxes starts to glow.....<br />
<br />
LOTS to talk about today :-)<br />
<br />
Watching this I almost resent the intrusion of the cliffhanger from the previous episode and the lengthy Tardis scene at the start because it keeps the Doctor & co out of the Underground for so long. As I explained at some length yesterday it'd be better to chop the opening Tardis scene off and bolt it onto the end of Enemy of the World 6, starting this episode at the museum! (a challenge to any video editors out there) But the actual opening of the story is superb, almost straight out of a Hammer Horror film, complete with candles, and the sequence as the Yeti change form and come to life might as well be Frankenstein's Monster coming to life.

I can't be 100% sure but I believe this sequence features the earliest born actor in Doctor Who.
<a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0775191/?ref_=tt_cl_t6>Frederick Schrecker</a>, playing Julius Silverstein the Yeti's owner , was born January 10, 1892 in Vienna, Austria. He'd have been 76 when this episode was made. He made his film acting debut in 1913 in <a href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330282/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_37>Der Feldherrnhügel</a> as the Regimentsarzt (under the name Fritz Schrecker) He died 8 years later on July 13, 1976 (age 84) in London. As far as I'm aware he's the only actor to appear in Doctor Who who was born in the 19th Century.

</center>
<P>
The scenes with Silverstein in his museum, originally planned for location filming at the Natural History Museum, are brought to perfection by the music used: <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartok>Bela Bartok's</a> Adagio from <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_Strings,_Percussion_and_Celesta>Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta</a>. This appeared in the previous story, the Enemy of the world, most notably in episode 4 when Salamander enters the shelter, but to me it works much better here. It's not the only piece of music this story that returning director Douglas Camfield will reuse!
<P>
The scenes in the Underground are so atmospheric, it's just such a natural location for Doctor Who to be set in with enclosed dark tunnels. I say location, but it's isn't, this is all Studio Sets. Camfield had his production assistant Gareth Gwenlan, later to be Head of Comedy at the BBC, enquire of London Transport as to the possibility of filming there. They said no, so designer David Myerscough-Jones created the distinctive Underground tunnels in the studio. So good was his work that London Transport wanted to know how Camfield et al had managed to gain access to their premises without their knowledge and court action was mooted. The character of Edward Travers returns in this episode, at least 30 years after the events of the Abominable Snowmen. He's the second non regular character, after the Meddling Monk, and the first non regular human character to appear in two different stories. Oddly enough the program's MOST regularly recurring character makes his debut later in this story.
<P>
The geography in this episode seems a little bit wonky at first glance: How can the Doctor & co step onto the track on the station where the Tardis lands and end up where they do? A little interpretation makes sense of it. We see three locations: The shelter, which we later find out is the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodge_Street_tube_station>deep level shelter at Goodge Street Tube Station</a>. The Tardis materialises at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covent_Garden_tube_station>Covent Garden tube station</a>. The explosives are found at Charring Cross Tube station. So although the story makes it seem that Jamie, Victoria & The Doctor have just walked into the tunnel and found the cable the likelihood is they've walked south on the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_line>Piccadilly Line</a>, and then at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_Square_tube_station>Leicester Square</a> walked through the station to the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_line>Northern Line</a> tunnels - the Northern line connects Charring Cross & Goodge Street stations - and walked from there. But Charring Cross in the story isn't the present day <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charing_Cross_tube_station>Charring Cross tube station</a>: the Northern Line station there was at the time named The Strand and not connected to the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakerloo_line>Bakerloo line</a> as it is now which stopped at a separate Trafalgar Square station (now absorbed into the present day Charring Cross station). "Charring Cross" then is the present day <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embankment_tube_station>Embankment tube station</a>, serving Nortern, Bakerloo, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_line>District</a> and <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_line_%28London_Underground%29>Circle</a> lines.
<P>
Since it's the centrepiece of the action it's probably worth reproducing a diagram of the Northern Line c1968. I've included the names then and, where different, now plus which other lines they intersected then and what stations mentioned in the story they're connected to.

<P>
Knowing that the Charring Cross scenes are at the present day Embankment explains why the army is attempting to destroy that tunnel: they want to stop the Yeti, and the Web, penetrating from the South West corner of the Circle Line they currently hold (see later episodes) onto the Northern Line. It's worth asking yourself what the Yeti are doing on Charring Cross station. Did they just stumble across the explosives that Staff Sergeant Arnold's party have laid or did they know it was there somehow......
<P>
The Army's 2nd base at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holborn_tube_station>Holborn</a>, lies on the Piccadilly Line one stop north of where the Tardis landed at Covent Garden. It also has platforms for the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Line>Central Line</a> which intersects the Northern Line between Goodge Street & Charring Cross at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_Road_tube_station>Tottenham Court Road</a>, for many years the tube station closest to most of London's comic and sci fi shops. Interestingly between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn lies the disused "Ghost Station" of <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum_tube_station>British Museum</a>. Sadly Web of Fear goes nowhere near ghost stations which is a fascinating subject in itself.
<P>
This is one of the stories that everyone remembers: Yeti on underground, Daleks in London, Cybermen coming up out of Sewers and "the one with the Seaweed and foam" are probably the four most mentioned sixties stories amongst non fans. The Yeti become the series third returning monster with this story a mere 12 episodes between the end of their last story and the beginning of this one (The Cybermen had a gap of 14 episodes between Tenth Planet and The Moonbase. Although memorable they're probably some way down the all time Doctor Who monster listings due to not having appeared since 1968. The most recent series of new Doctor Who did feature the Great Intelligence, the Yeti's controlling force and "snowmen" albeit of the more icey kind. Some have seen their inclusion as an on screen hint of the imminent return of the story.....
<P>
Returning to Doctor Who for this production are Douglas Camfield, absent since the 12 part Dalek Masterplan two years earlier, and Melvyn Haysman & Henry Lincoln, who wrote the Yeti's previous appearance, The Abominable Snowmen. There's an indication in the script that Haysman and Lincoln might be Pink Floyd fans: Web of Fear features characters named Arnold & Lane. Seeing the names together makes you think that inspiration may have come from the Floyd's 1967 hit <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Layne>Arnold Layne</a>.
<P>
Right lets get the changes in behind the scenes personnel out the way: It's <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bryant>Peter Bryant's</a> first show as producer proper, after a trial run on Tomb of the Cybermen. The new script editor is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derrick_Sherwin>Derrick Sherwin</a>, an actor turned writer. He'd been working on the popular soap opera <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_%28soap_opera%29>Crossroads</a> and brought with him to Doctor Who a writer he'd worked with there to act as his Assistant Script Editor: <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrance_Dicks>Terrance Dicks</a>, who'll we'll here much, MUCH more from later.
<P>
There's a little on-screen nod to the production staff at the start of the episode when Captain Knight is paying tribute to Colonel Pemberton, his recently deceased CO. This character is named after <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Pemberton>Victor Pemberton</a>, Doctor Who's occasional Script Editor (Tomb of the Cybermen, while Peter Bryant was having his trial at producing) who was at the time writing the next story: Fury from the Deep.
<P>
Appearing as a soldier in this episode only is <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1553619/?ref_=tt_cl_t13>Bernard G. High</a>. High had appeared occasionally in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Cars>Z-Cars</a> during 1967 as Det. Constable John. By an odd coincidence his director in all 3 appearances was one D Camfield who later reused him as a Unit Soldier in Terror of the Zygons 2! His final Z-Cars appearance, Finch & Sons pt2 also features <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0604975/?ref_=tt_cl_t8>Richardson Morgan</a> who plays Corporal Blake in this story and later returns as Rogin in Ark in Space!
<P>
Web of Fear was the second episode of Doctor Who to be returned to the BBC Film and Video library. In 1978 Sue Malden, BBC archive selector, made a visit to BBC Enterprises and found a batch of returned films from which she believed to be from Asia TV in Hong Kong (Note this information, taken from the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1845830377/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1845830377&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">first edition of Wiped! Doctor Who's Missing Episodes</a> was removed for the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1845830806/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1845830806&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">The Second Edition</a>). Amongst these was one episode of Doctor Who: Web of Fear 1. She contacted Asia TV but they said they had no other old episodes of Doctor Who. However 14 years later the same television station found prints of all four episodes of The Tomb of the Cybermen in it's vaults. 13 episodes of Season 5 remain. 2 were always known to be at the BBC, four more were actually at the BBC all along but lost. So prior to 2013 of the episodes returned from outside sources this season most of them come from Asia TV. Further searches of their archives have been made and they insist nothing else is there. The only problem with this story is that in 1976 a list of episodes held by the BBC was produced in order to make the Whose Doctor Who documentary. That list includes a lone episode of the Web of Fear: episode one....
<P>
The recent recovery of a near complete set of prints for this story has shed some light on the origins of the BBC's existing print of Web of Fear 1. The prints returned from Nigeria had been sent to them by RTV in Hong Kong. The BBC's print is likely to be the copy of Web of Fear sent back from Australia on 04/06/1975. This batch of films also included all the stories which have had individual episodes recovered in the UK over the years: Galaxy 4 episode 3, Underwater menace 2, Faceless Ones 3, Evil of the Daleks 2 and Wheel in Space 3.
<P>
I wanted to see Web of Fear 1 when I was younger. I was very fond of the book of this story which I'd read in my local library dozens of times (said Hardback copy now sits on my shelves here) and I knew this episode existed. Anticipation was heightened by watching Abominable Snowmen 2 on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00004CLD1/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00004CLD1">Doctor Who - the Troughton Years</a> in 1992. As we saw it wasn't released with <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001E5O48E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B001E5O48E">Doctor Who: The Ice Warriors</a> in 1998. In fact it didn't come out on video till the very last Doctor Who video release <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000D9Y6R/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0000D9Y6R">The Reign Of Terror</a>, which Blackstar very helpfully failed to send me necessitating a run round several shops hunting a copy down (thank you HMV in Richmond). Since the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563553820/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0563553820">soundtrack for the whole story</a> was released on 6th March 2002 that makes this one of (at the time of the original Blog) four episodes of Doctor Who that I heard before I saw them (the others are Dalek Masterplan 2 and Faceless Ones 1 & 3 - 11 more episodes have been returned since and added to the list). Of course it's now available on DVD as part of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002XOZW4?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0002XOZW4">Doctor Who - Lost In Time</a> with a commentary by Deborah Watling (Victoria) and Script Editor Derrick Sherwin moderated by Gary Russell.
<P>
The return of the Web of Fear doesn't affect us for this episode at the moment but a copy of Web of Fear 1 was returned with the four other episodes and apparently that's of superior quality to the existing one so when the DVD comes out it might be interesting to compare the episode there with the one found on Lost in Time.
<P>
Join us tomorrow as we WATCH Web of Fear 2 - something I never thought we'd be able to do!

"Thank you. You're doing so well impersonating me, ah, I thought I might return the compliment."
<P>
Bruce is having difficulty believe the Doctor, Jamie & Victoria when Benik arrives with papers for "Salamander" to sign. The Doctor examines them and finds they're for food deliveries for 30 people which is suspicious because only a dozen work at the centre. As he dies Swann gets Astrid to promise to rescue those in the shelter. The Doctor arranges for Bruce to release Jamie & Victoria: they're told to contact his deputy Forrester with a code word summoning him to the research centre. Astrid arrives at the shelter: the inhabitants initially are scared of her, fearing Radiation contamination but she proves to them that Salamanders radiation detection instruments are faked. She, Colin and his wife Mary return to the surface. Giles Kent has entered the research centre and goes to confront Salamander in the records room but it's the Doctor he meets. Astrid arrives with Mary & Colin who identify Kent as the man that took them to the shelter. He set the scheme up with Salamander but they disagreed and parted company: Colin & Mary believe he'd been killed. The Doctor was suspicious of Kent from the start. Kent escapes into the lift to the underground tunnels where he intends to detonate explosives stored there. Forrester arrives and under Bruce's orders arrests the research centre staff including Benik. Salamander is waiting for Kent, having observed the confrontation in the records room. They fight and Kent is killed detonating the explosives. The people in the shelter survive the blast as do those on the surface. Astrid explains the shelter can be reached via the tunnel she found and Astrid & Bruce lead the rescue attempt. The Doctor, seemingly wounded returns to the Tardis where Jamie & Victoria are waiting and beckons Jamie to take off. Jamie is suspicious: he was told never to touch the console. Rightly so: This is Salamander exposed when the real Doctor arrives. In a scuffle the Tardis starts to take off with it's doors open and Salamander is sucked out leaving the time travellers at the mercy of the forces pulling through the open doors.....<br />
<br />
When I listened to this story for the blog I said<P><blockquote>
Not a bad climax to a story that's proved much better than I recall it being. The plot twist half way through the story is barkingly mad and completely unforeseen: here Kent's true motives have at least been hinted at with his quickness to violence. It's by no means a typical Doctor Who story being more closely related to a James Bond spy thriller with just the hint of science fiction with the villain's ability to cause natural disasters, his Suncatcher energy satellites are mentioned in the first episode - if I was re-writing I'd make them involved in the process some how and connect them with the work being done by the people hiding in the shelter from the war that never happened. This plot element reminds me of something I saw in my younger days but I can't think what. It's a little similar to the Silurians in Hibernation waiting for the Earth to recover from the moon hitting it, the people in the "Spaceship" in Invasion of Dinosaurs and of course Japanese soldiers marooned on remote islands convinced the second world war goes on, but the "sheltering from the nuclear war that never happened" idea rings big clear bells.
</blockquote>
<P>
The Kaptain, Karl Thurgood suggests to me the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick>Philip K Dick</a> short story <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Defenders_%28short_story%29>The Defenders</a>, which was turned into the novel <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Penultimate_Truth>The Penultimate Truth</a>, as the source of my recollections but I have no recollection of reading either of these!
<P>
Finally able to watch it I think this episode has some problems.
<P>
All is going relatively well until the point the explosion happens. Where do Colin and Mary go after that? They're last seen clutching at each other as debris falls from the ceiling but just disappear after that:
<P>
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/10324380534/" title="Enemy6_ColinMary by philip_ayres, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2843/10324380534_b3994a202c.jpg" width="500" height="371" alt="Enemy6_ColinMary"></a>
</center>
<P>
Are they dead? Have they retreated to the shelter? You don't know. They're usefulness to the plot over, they're gone.
<P>
And then there's the logic of what happens next.....
<P>
The Doctor sends Jamie and Victoria straight from the Research Centre to the Tardis. They disappear at 5:27 and aren't seen again till 19:00 so are missing for 14 and half minutes, well over half the episode having been completely absent two weeks previous. But the point here is he sends them to the Tardis, he doesn't arrange for them to be taken here. The insinuation is the Tardis is nearby, in walking distance.
<P>
Then there's the explosion and Salamander's last seen in the tunnel. The Doctor leaves the research center, slightly injured and dressed as Salamander. A dazed figure dressed as Salamander wanders towards the Tardis and Jamie, like the viewer, mistakes the figure for the Doctor and lets him inside. Then the real Doctor shows up, changed into his normal clothes and with a plaster on his head which clearly enables us to distinguish him from Salamander in the fight that follows.
<P>
So to me it would appear as if Salamander has wandered out of the tunnel and, slightly dazed, stumbled on the Tardis. The Doctor meanwhile has returned to Kent's Caravan, which we know overlooks the Research Center (episode 3) which in turn is above the shelter (episode 4) which has as tunnel exit near the caravan (episode 5). This last point would make sense: Kent's parked the caravan near to both the tunnel and the research center so he can keep an eye on both. Having changed and tended to his wounds the Doctor makes his way to the Tardis.
<P>
Happy so far? Good.
<P>
Because the problem is this: THE TARDIS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE RESEARCH CENTRE!
<P>
We saw the Tardis land on the beach in episode 1, which was shown then to be on <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Arid_National_Park>Cape Arid</a>. At no point is it established that the Research Centre is also on Cape Arid! In fact it looks like Kanowa is a spelling mistake for at <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanowna,_Western_Australia>Kanowna</a> 250 miles away! If it is then the episode really makes no sense with Salamander emerging from a tunnel 250 miles away from where he left and The Doctor, Jamie & Victoria having travelled 250 miles seemingly on foot.
<P>
Let's be charitable (very charitable!) and assume that Kanowa is in Cape Arid. So the Research Centre is above the shelter, whose tunnel leads out near the caravan overlooking the Research Centre. The tunnel exit is also near the beach which in turn is near the rented Bungalow. I think the script needs a little playing with here to definitively establish the Research Centre's location: I'd have had the Doctor and Kent observing it from the Bungalow. That gives the the property that a reason to be near to the sea where the Tardis lands, has Astrid aiming for a nearby location that she knows when the helicopter is damaged, has "Salamander" (actually the Doctor) believably near somewhere he's known to visit in part 1 for the Thugs to pursue him. Everyone can then make their journey from Research Centre to Tardis easily in episode 6 and as a bonus we've saved ourselves the cost of building the caravan set by reusing the Bungalow location. I've never read the Enemy of the World novelization but I picked the book off the shelf to see how Ian Marter handles this: he has everyone flying south in helicopters with the Doctor realising that Salamander's deceived him before he leaves Kanowa. This isn't terribly satisfying as it relies on Salamander knowing the Tardis is at Cape Arid. I suppose you could claim that agents loyal to Salamander followed Jamie & Zoe and conveyed that information back to him. Jamie does say he thought they were being followed, but I'd take this to mean followed by Salamander. Some blame needs to be laid at outgoing script editor Peter Bryant's feet for not picking this up. A little tweak to all six scripts would have made this, and a small hole in episode 1, make a lot more sense.
<!--How do first Jamie & Victoria, then a wounded Salamander and finally the Doctor get that far seemingly on foot? All the indication is the Tardis is nearby to the Research Centre. Has the Doctor had it moved and then off screen conveyed that information to Jamie and Zoe? That'd be the explanation that'd make the most sense, but unfortunately is unlikely as you can hear the sea in the background of the night scene as Salamander arrives! The alternative has everyone been transported separately 250 miles south. I've never read the Enemy of the World novelization but I picked the book off the shelf to see how Ian Marter handles this: he has everyone flying south in helicopters with the Doctor realising that Salamander's deceived him before he leaves Kanowna. This isn't terribly satisfying as it relies on Salamander knowing the Tardis is at Cape Arid. I suppose you could claim that agents loyal to Salamander followed Jamie & Zoe and conveyed that information back to him. Jamie does say he thought they were being followed, but I'd take this to mean followed by Salamander. I suppose you could argue Salamander has another emergency exit that just happens to bring him out near the beach but that's going to involve some form of vast Underground transport system and still need the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria moved 250 miles. Having thought big and attempted to do a Doctor Who story on a much larger canvas than usual with known real world locations David Whitaker has written himself into a hole. As it stands on screen the logic of the ending is deeply flawed with Whitaker either having forgotten where he left the Tardis and hoping we have too or thinking he can get away with it.
<P>
Some blame needs to be laid at outgoing script editor Peter Bryant's feet for not picking this up. A little tweak to all six scripts would have made this, and a small hole in episode 1, make a lot more sense. Here's how I'd fix it:
<P>
Move the research centre to Cape Arid. The research center, shelter and tunnels are then near the Tardis. Have the Research Centre observed not from Kent's Caravan but from the Bungalow that Astrid/Kent just happen to have nearby. That gives the the property that Astrid/Kent own a reason to be near to the sea where the Tardis lands, has Astrid aiming for a nearby location that she knows, has "Salamander" (actually the Doctor) believably near somewhere he's known to visit in part 1 for the Thugs to pursue him. Everyone can then make their journey from Research Centre to Tardis easily in episode 6 and as a bonus we've saved ourselves the cost of building the caravan set by reusing the Bungalow location.

When I arrived to begin work on The Enemy Of The world I was presented with only a draft script of the first episode and just rough synopsis of the rest.

<P>
He then goes onto say
<P>
<blockquote>
From what I learnt later when I took over as producer it wasn't likely that he [writer David Whitaker] was responsible for the indefensible position I was put in.
</blockquote>
But, somewhat typically, doesn't then apportion blame for who was responsible!
<P>
What this episode will rightly be remembered for is the confrontation between the Doctor and Salamander, two characters both played by Patrick Troughton. There's a lot of "one character played by a double with his back to the screen" during this sequence but there's one memorable face to face confrontation:

<P>
Quite rightly this is the image that the BBC Website chose to represent the episode when they did their <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/enemyofworld/>Telesnap photo novel of the story</a>. It also nicely turns the concept of the story, the Doctor impersonating Salamander, on it's head with Salamander impersonating the Doctor. But this meeting, which we've been building up to for 6 episodes, is over so quickly. Barry Letts had intended for there to be more shots with Patrick Troughton in view twice. However due to a film camera jam and Letts using an outdated technique, which he fully accepted responsibility for in his book, this one shot was all they got! Between the Doctor entering the Tardis and Salamander leaving it is a gap of just 45 seconds! And following the all we see is Salamander falling through the Vortex, that's it, end of episode. No reminder of the peril that the Doctor and co are in, which is picked up and resolved in the first 2 minutes of the next episode. If you check Enemy of the World 6 is 21:41 long, at the lower end of the running times for a Doctor Who episode (my thanks to Sean for bringing this to my attention when we were watching the episode on iTunes). In fact it's the shortest episode of Doctor Who so far, the first to be sub 22 minutes. Web of Fear 1, by contrast, is 24:53 at the upper end of the 25 minute time slot (a few episodes before now have gone over). If you took the first scene off Web of Fear, which runs from 0:29 to 2:16 which I make 1:47 long, you end up with Enemy 6 last 23:28 and ending on a nice resolution and Web 1 running to 23:06 and not suffering the intrusion of the previous story. (If anyone wants to make a cut of these episodes in this way I'd be interested) I'd always resented the section of Enemy of the World resolution in Web of Fear 1 and now I see Enemy of the World 6 it seems to me like it's more natural home is here. Yes I know Doctor Who was more serial in style in the 60s but generally the form for an episode is the last episode of the previous story has some form of "looking forward" to the next one like the Radiation Meter in Unearthly Child 4 or the Tardis being stolen in Faceless Ones 6, not resolving the story in the opening minutes of the next one. I could except the intrusion a bit more if we'd cut back to the Tardis console room at the end of this episode to show that the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria are still in peril. As it is it feels like "Salamander's out of the Tardis, problem solved" especially in light of the specially shot trailer of The Doctor in the Underground tunnels that follows.

Attempting to do something different, a Bond/Spy story, with the Who format
</blockquote>
<P>
Cons:
<P>
<blockquote>
Episode 3, so long the sole survivor, is dreadful.<br>
The episode, as seen on screen here, breaks down geographically.<br>
The ending, especially the confrontation, is rushed.<br>
By having Patrick Troughton playing two roles either the Doctor or Salamander is absent for long periods. This is compounded by Jamie and Victoria both being absent for an episode and then being missing for a large part of the final one.<P>
No Monsters!
</blockquote>
It's hard to decide. I want to get past how dreadful episode 3 has seemed for many years and the series lack of Monsters. Like Underwater Menace 3 it's picked up by being able to see it in context a bit. If we'd had episode 1, or 4, all along the story would have had a bet pre recovery reputation. Now seen as a whole the flaws are more obvious, especially in this final episode. This story is really yo-yoing in my opinions every time I experience it!
<P>
A couple of changes behind the scenes happen at the end of this story. Innes Lloyd departs the producer's role. Never happy with science fiction he was more than willing to vacate his seat for Peter Bryant. Despite his feelings about the show Lloyd did a top job, producing many memorable stories and introducing several important elements to the series. It's also the last story overseen by Head of Drama Sydney Newman, who'd helped create the series. After leaving his post he returned to his native Canada.<br />
<br />
This story was followed by a specially recorded trailer for the next story, The Web of Fear, featuring Patrick Troughton warning children at home that their parents may find it frightening.<br />
<br />
Enemy of the World was novelised by Ian Marter in 1981 during a period when few Hartnell and Troughton stories were being produced by Target Books. It's television author David Whitaker had started work on it but died before much could be produced. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563535032/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0563535032">The Soundtrack was released on CD</a> in 2002 with narration by Fraser Hines. Unlike the stories either side of it, it can be currently had for pennys. The soundtrack to the Web of Fear trailer is included as a bonus.
<P>
While searching Africa for missing episodes Philip Morris discovered copies of Enemy of the World 1-6 and Web of Fear 1, 2 & 4-6 at a television station in the Nigerian city of Jos. It hasn't yet been revealed exactly when he found it but a report in Doctor Who Magazine 486 has Morris talking about a church being blown up in the city while he was there. Enemy of the World thus becomes the second complete Troughton story in season 4, after Tomb of the Cybermen's 1992 recovery, as well as the second complete Troughton overall and also only the second complete Troughton 6 parter, after Seed of Death. Power of the Daleks, The Faceless One, The Abominable Snowmen, The Ice Warriors, The Web of Fear, Fury from the Deep, The Wheel in Space and The Space Pirates all have one or more missing missing episodes. Paul Vanezies of the Restoration Team had his hands on episodes 1-5 on 28th April 2013, episode 6 having been looked at previously. Peter Crocker started work on the picture restoration on 2nd June 2013 and delivered it on the 7th August. After much rumour the recovery, along with that of Web of Fear, was announced at a press conference on 10th October 2013 news of which was embargoed till midnight when <a href=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/tv-season/id704921951?affId=1736887>the episodes were released on iTunes</a>. The Enemy of the World will be <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FRL72EE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00FRL72EE&linkCode=as2&tag=anepisadaykee-21">released on DVD on Monday 25th November 2013</a>, 2 days after Doctor who's 50th anniversary.
<P>
Next up I get to spend six days talking about two of my favourite subjects at once: Doctor Who *AND* the London Underground. Be here tomorrow as we WATCH Web of Fear Part 1.

"Why not me? WHY NOT ME???? Salamander, take me with you! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!"
<P>
This time Bruce does not fall for The Doctor pretending to be Salamander. They tell Bruce they have evidence on Salamander. He tells them that Farriah is dead. Benik is holding the unconscious Jamie & Victoria at the research centre. The Doctor talks Bruce into taking him to the research centre to get evidence. In the Underground base Colin is wanting to go outside. Swann finds a scrap of newspaper stuck to a crate "holiday liner sinks with the loss of many lives" He knows they have been lied to about the war. He accuses Salamander of being a murderer and forces Salamander to take him to the surface. When Salamander announces Swann is coming with him to the surface Colin is distraught that it wasn't him who was chosen. Benik interrogates Jamie and Victoria but is interrupted by "Salamander" and sent away. This turns out to be the Doctor. Salamander takes Swann into the tunnels above the base, but Swann wants to go to the surface. Astrid distracts the guards and flees allowing Kent to escape. While outside she hears cries for help and finds the injured Swann lying in a tunnel mouth. She asks him what has happened and he says he was attacked by a man named Salamander.
<P>
I'm still bowled over as to how Salamander's pulled this deception off especially as it comes crashing down so easily here. This episode rolls along nicely and you can feel things warming up for the story's conclusion. According to Barry Letts in his autobiography <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1906263442/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1906263442">Who And Me</a> this episode had to be re-written after it was discovered there were no scenes featuring guest star Mary Peach who plays Astrid.
<P>
Benik is very sinister during this episode, especially in the sequence where he interrogates Jamie & Victoria, summed up by this exchange:
<blockquote>
JAMIE: You must have been a nasty little boy.
<br>BENIK: Oh I was. But I had a very enjoyable childhood.
</blockquote>
<P>
Appearing throughout the story is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Douglas_(actor)>Colin Douglas</a> as Donald Bruce. Douglas will return to the program 10 years later as Reuben in <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_of_Fang_Rock>Horror of Fang Rock</a>. His 1967 self however looks and sounds like the actor <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Vansittart>Rupert Vansittart</a> who was General Asquith in Aliens of London and World War Three. <a href=http://www.hotflick.net/pictures/big/008BJO_Rupert_Vansittart_002.html>Compare</a> and <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/enemyofworld/one/59.shtml>contrast</a> for yourself. The same pompous manner that Bruce has is familiar in a lot of Vansittart's recent roles.
<P>
The only reason I've heard of Andrew Staines, playing Benik's Sergeant, is that I've read the production subtitles on Planet of Spiders. He was a favourite actor of Barry Letts: indeed 4 of his 6 <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0821571/>acting credits on imdb.com</a> are Doctor Who roles with Barry Letts directing: He's also the scientist Goodge in Terror of the Autons, the Captain in Carnival of Monsters and finally Keaver, one of Lupton's gang, in Planet of the Spiders. There's been another Letts regular in episodes 4 & 5: <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0121268/?ref_=tt_cl_t10>Christopher Burgess</a> as Swann. He had appeared with Barry Letts, while the later was still acting, in <a href=www.imdb.com/title/tt0995625/>This Man Craig: The Good Chemist</a> during 1966. He'll go on to play Professor Philips, the other scientist Terror of the Autons 1 & 2, and Barnes, another of Lupton's gang, in Planet of the Spiders.
<P>
Remember Fraser Hines' cousin, Ian Hines, appearing as a guard in earlier episodes? Well in this and the next episode we have <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Troughton>David Troughton</a>, son of Patrick, also as a guard. He'll be back in a bit part in The War Games plus a starring role as King Peladon in the Curse of Peladon. He famously was Doctor Bob Buzzard in A Very Peculiar Practice (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004AKNRSI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=anepisadaykee-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B004AKNRSI">which has finally got a complete DVD release at long last</a>) with Peter Davison before returning as Professor Hobbes in the 2008 New Series episode Midnight. One of my favourite actors he can do an excellent impression of his late father which he does to good effect narrating several of the Target audiobook readings. <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0873739/>IMDB</a> (and every other Who publication I've read) reckons this is his first Doctor Who appearance but my friend Ralph heard David Troughton speak at a recent convention where he claims to appear in episode 1 of this story as one of the thugs on the beach, specifically the one that jumps Jamie!
<P>
OK back to our geography. There's a tunnel leading from the shelter to the surface. The tunnel comes out near to where Kent's caravan is located: Astrid stumbles across Swann who can't have got far from the entrance in that state. The tunnel doesn't seem to be at a huge incline yet we know the shelter is some way bellow ground - maybe it comes off a level that the travel capsule can stop at closer to the surface?
<P>

</center>
<P>
In fact you can see the travel capsule in the back of this shot (<a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/enemyofworld/five/49.shtml>There was already a poor quality telesnap</a> that we didn't realise had the travel capsule in), and Swann make a point of asking what's directly above them, so the level closer to the surface theory is a good one.
<P>
And speaking of poor quality telesnaps, here's <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/photonovels/enemyofworld/five/27.shtml>the piece of paper Swann found</a> that's confounded Who fans for years by being blurred and out of focus. Fortunately it does come into focus while he's holding it:

</center>
<P>
The date on the paper, said to be "last year's date" is Friday August 16th 2017, which clearly dates the story to 2018, the same as <a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/10221477353/>the year on the plate in Astrid's helicopter in episode 1</a>. Publicity at the time put the story "50 years in the future" and Lance Parkin's History of the Universe dates the story to 2017, 50 years after the first episode was broadcast. Close, it's 50 years after *most* of the story was broadcast: the first two episodes are in 1967 but the remaining four are in 1968!
<P>
There's only one small problem with the date on the paper: 16th August 2017 is a Wednesday!
<P>
Another thought: if it's approaching the 5th anniversary of them descending to the shelter in 2018 then they'll be hiding down there now in 2013!

"I think you'll find this interesting."
<P>
Salamander decides to return to the research centre. The Doctor & Kent are waiting for Astrid who arrives then contacts them by vidphone, alerting them authorities before she switches to a secure transmission. Denes is dead: shot in the back during the escape attempt. Farrier has followed Astrid: she has come to see Kent with information for him. Farrier has been observed by the guards as well. Farrier tells how she was blackmailed into serving Salamander: she now has evidence that he engineered the schemes that Fedorin was accused of. Kent wants the Doctor to execute Salamander: he refuses. The guards close in on Kent's office but the occupants escape. is killed on the street after the escape. Salamander locks himself in the record room. He accesses a secret lift which takes him to hidden underground chambers. Bruce is angry with the guard outside the room that he can't get access to Salamander. Underground Salamander announces his return to those in the underground shelter. One of the men, Swann, meets with Salamander who claims he has been irradiated and must be decontaminated. He has brought them food back, and reports that it's terrible on the surface. Those in the shelter have been there for five years: they believe there has been a war on the surface which continues to this day. Those in the shelter are creating the natural disasters believing they are striking at those causing the war. Salamander tells them they cannot return to the surface till it's safe to do so. One of the survivors, Swann, wishes to go to the surface but his wife Mary reminds him that of the others that have made the journey only Salamander has returned. The Doctor is being made up to pose as Salamander when Bruce arrives with guards.
<P>
The Enemy of the World has had a three and a bit episode run up but finally during this episode it dives head first off the deep end. Up until now we've had a spy story with a little bit of a hint that Salamander has been causing some natural disasters. Then all off a sudden we've got a hidden underground base complete with survivors sheltering from the after effects of a (presumably nuclear) war who rely on Salamander venturing to the surface for their food. Bwah? Where did that come from? Not even a remote hint of this exists in earlier episode. As plot developments go this one is absolutely barking mad.
<P>
Six part (or longer) Doctor Who stories frequently have to do something different at some stage. Changing location is a good one: The first few episodes of the Daleks are in the city while the last deal with the attack. The The first half of Dalek Invasion of Earth is in central London before the action moves to the mines. Marco Polo, Keys of Marinus, The Chase & The Dalek Masterplan all change location most episodes. Evil of the Daleks travels from 60s London to Victorian Canterbury to Skaro. Inferno, famously, has a four episode alternate universe in the middle of it. Other stories introduce new characters or plot elements: The Optera in the Web Planet for example. But the new plot element here just comes from left field completely.
<P>
When I introduced this episode on FB I said it features "the most bonkers plot twist in Doctor Who". My friend Tim Walker replyed <P>
<blockquote>
Oh, I don't know - some of the current series' plot twists run it jolly close...
</blockquote>
which got me thinking....
<P>
Most Nu-Who plot twists have some signposting or make sense afterwards. This one? Completely barking mad!
<P>
The thing is this plot twist has come from nowehere. Really the only element of Salamander's story that's slightly loose from the first few episodes is how he's causing the natural disasters. It had been a few years since I last listened to Enemy of the World so I was putting that down to his Suncatcher technology mentioned in earlier episodes. It turns out those inn the shelter are responsible but never explains how. My money's still on the Suncatchers: I've seen enough Bond films to know that Supervillains can't resist using satelites to threaten the world. We don't see Salamander disappearing off for stretches of time, we don't hear about his unexplained absences or days spent labouring in the research room. Nothing until he goes down in the lift. David Whitaker's got to the end of part 3 and gone "oh ****, I've got three more episodes to fill and thrown in the first idea that's popped into his head...... And, as we'll see he's not given how he's wrapping this up much thought either.....
<P>
No Telesnaps exist for this episode so the BBC website had a rough go using shots from other episodes. Now the episode is returned to the archives we get our first proper look at it. It's the third telesnapless episode to be returned in recent times since the existence of the telesnaps was discovered with none existing for either <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/084-galaxy-4-part-3-airlock-again.html>Galaxy Four episode 3: Airlock</a> or <a href=http://dweveryday.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/092-daleks-master-plan-part-2-day-of.html>The Dalek Masterplan episode 2: The Day of Armageddon</a>. Of all the episodes to reconstruct from scratch this is one of the easiest: part 1 by comparison would have been a nightmare. All the main cast in this episode are in others. Most of the sets - Kent's office, the Research Centre Records room and the shelter - are too. But there's still some surprises in the episode.
<P>
It was known that <a href=http://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/bbcvilliershouse>Villier's House</a> in Ealing featured in footage used in Enemy of the World that had been lost. We find out now that the scenes shot here are what the Doctor's group can see when they look out the windows to see the guards coming:
<P>
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/10265455374/" title="Enemy4_Pram by philip_ayres, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7316/10265455374_a083bdab9d.jpg" width="500" height="372" alt="Enemy4_Pram"></a>
</center>
<P>
The thing that stands out in that shot is the woman pushing the pram. She bears no relevance to the story and yet it adds something making you realise this all occurring in an populated area. One of the guards in shot is long time Doctor Who extra <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Gorman>Pat Gorman</a>.
<P>
The Villiers House location has another Doctor Who claim to fame though: it was the home of BBC Enterprises at the time and for nearly 20 years after. When the BBC vacated the building and it was being cleared out the four missing episodes of the Ice Warriors - 1 and 4-6 - were found!
<P>
There's two main studio settings that the BBC had no pictures of to use in their telesnaps mockup. We can now see for these locations for the first time. One is the street on which Fariah is killed:

</center>
<P>
Well that turns out to be one of the worst studio flats seen in the series so far! But we can finally see just how Salamander accesses his underground layer: I wonder immediately why he's mucking about with a capsule that moves from horizontal to vertical before descending when he could of just had a lift put in the shaft.
<P>

</center>
<P>
It's not a bad sequence on screen, very Thunderbirds.
<P>
Actually let's think about the capsule for a second: it does appear to go straight down, so it's a reasonable assumption that the shelter is directly under the research establishment at some depth. This isn't as silly as it sounds: <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanowna,_Western_Australia>Kanowna</a>, where we think the Kanowa research centre is actually located, is a former gold mining town. I could see Salamander taking some of the former mine workings and adapting them to his purpose. But the important thing to note here is that the shelter is under the Research Centre in Kanowa!
<P>
As Salamander enters the shelter and we get out first view of it the music playing in the background is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartok>Bela Bartok's</a> Adagio from <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_Strings,_Percussion_and_Celesta>Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta</a>. There's a bit of Bartok sprinkled throughout the production, perhaps appropriately because the composer was Hungarian and sections of the story, notably in episodes 2 and 3, are set in Hungary. However this piece is pretty distinctive and stuck in my mind..... because it famously features in the very next Doctor Who story, the Web of Fear! You can read more about Bartok's use in Doctor Who at <a href=http://www.millenniumeffect.co.uk/audio/classical.php#bartok>http://www.millenniumeffect.co.uk/audio/classical.php#bartok</a>.
<P>
This episode doesn't feature Jamie or Victoria: Both actors were on holiday this week. I think this is the first, and only, time that more than one series regular is away for the same episode! <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1528665/?ref_=tt_cl_t11>Adam Verney</a>, playing Colin, remind me of another actor but I can't think who right now. Neither he now <a href=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1527796/?ref_=tt_cl_t12>Margret Hickey</a>, Mary, have any significantly recorded TV career to speak of.
