Notes
Third Doctor - Jon Pertwee
The Doctor in his latest regenernation is exiled by the Timelords to the Earth
and his knowledge of time travel in is removed from his memory. He works for
his old friend, the Brigadier, from UNIT as scientific advisor, and is given an
assistant. Initially this is Liz Shaw.
From the beginning of this season, the stories were all made in colour,
although not all of them survive in this form.

The Doctor investigates a space probe that returns with a crew who
are most certainly no longer human. Can he stop criminal factions
making use of the aliens to carry out their schemes?
When an attempt to drill into the Earth's core does wrong, the
Doctor gets transported into a parallel universe, where Britain has
been ruled by a Fascist dictatorship for years.
He meets the alter egos of his friends - the one-eyed Brigade Leader,
and Captain Liz Shaw - who never become a scientist!
To his horror, the drilling project unleashes an inferno which destroys the
alternate Earth.
Back in our universe, can he stop the drilling before the same fate
befalls our Earth?
