12. The Sea Devils. The Master is a prisoner in a high security establishment near a naval base. The Doctor visits him and later is intrigued by tales of sea creatures attacking a sea fort. The Doc and Jo go to the naval base to investigate. It seems reptilian cousins of the Silurians are under the sea, and like The Silurians want Earth free of humans.

The native Solonians are mutating into insectoid life. The Marshall in charge of Solos desperately wants independence plans scuppered so he can keep his job has ordered his science officer to carry out atmosphere experiments to alter the air to make it breathable for humans and toxic for Solonians. This is possible genocide on an unimaginable scale and the Doctor has to stop this. The Marshall is a brutal mad lunatic with power and the Solonians are mutating due to his actions....or are they? The container the Doctor brings can only be opened by the intended recipient, and Solonian Ky is that person. Inside are small stone tablets with hieroglyphics on them, the key to understanding what's happening to Solos. 14. The Time Monster. The Master is back going under the name Professor Thascalos.

The Master has teamed up with an incoming invasion force, by preparing the ground for the Nestenes.

The Master himself doesn't show up, to avoid the Doctor, until hostile prisoners overcome the wardens, and take control of Stangmoor.

Nearby UNIT is transporting a ballistic missile across country, and The Master plans to use a gang of prisoners to hijack it and use it to start WW3. The Master well and truly in control of Stangmoor until the creature inside his machine learns to teleport itself at will and pops up all-over the prison attacking people's minds.

Major Carrington sees this as an invasion and teams up with a gang of crooks to kidnap the aliens and demand a swap, them for the return of the astronauts. The aliens are deadly to the touch, kill with high voltage, and the gang get the idea of using them for criminal gain. It's all a misunderstanding, the aliens are ambassadors coming in peace, but can this be made clear to Carrington before the aliens get nasty. 4. Inferno. The Doctor is engaged in trying to get his tardis working to escape his Earth bound exile, he is with permission using power from an unusual drilling rig. The Stahlman project overseen by Professor Stahlman is drilling down into the Earth's crust to find Stahlman gas, located possibly near the core. This will be a wondrous new energy source. Stahlman is an arrogant man and refuses to listen to safety concerns. UNIT and the Brigadier are here carrying out a watching brief, and the Doctor momentarily gets the tardis working. Unfortunately it slips him dimensionally sideways to a parallel world, another Earth, another Stahlman project, a duplicate Liz and Lethbridge Stewart. Here the drilling is more advanced and penetration of the Earth's crust results in disaster, including green skinned humans infected by magma and reverting to primitive on the rampage, volcanic eruptions and well...the end of the world.

Luckily, he has the help of a young secretary called Polly and a sailor called Ben...who join the crew. Last episode for Dodo. Season 4. 28. The Smugglers When the TARDIS lands on a wild and remote stretch of the Cornish coast, its occupants little realise that they have arrived in the 17th century. The Doctor, Ben and Polly soon discover to their cost that these are far from hospitable times. The local Squire is at the head of a plot to offload contraband, whilst a long-rumoured hoard of stolen treasure has drawn attention to the village church. Inadvertently stumbling upon this web of deception and double-crossing, the time travellers are rapidly propelled into danger. The Doctor's encounter with the ill-fated Joseph Londfoot leaves him with a cryptic clue to the location of Avery's Treasure. But a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, as the fearsome pirate Samuel Pike is only too willing to prove. The Doctor realises that Pike and his bloodthirsty henchmen will stop at nothing - not even the threat of Avery's Curse - to find and seize the ill-gotten hoard. Ben and Polly, meanwhile, must choose their allies with care. It's never certain who can be trusted, and the stakes are suddenly raised as smugglers and pirates go head to head with the local militia. Can the time travellers save an entire village from burning - and still escape to the TARDIS with their lives? 29. The Tenth Planet The TARDIS lands at the South Pole in 1986. The arrival coincides with the appearance of Earth's forgotten twin planet Mondas along with visitors from that world — the emotionless Cybermen. It's up to the Doctor and his friends to stop the creatures before they convert Earth's population into similar cyber creations — but the encounter will have a devastating effect on the Doctor...With William Hartnell ill and unable to continue, the concept of changing the lead actor was born, the rest is history.

25. The Gunfighters Tombstone, Arizona, 1881. The air is filled with the sounds of shooting, cussing, and toe-tapping tunes knocked out on the battered piano at the Last Chance Saloon. And then there is something less familiar: the wheezing, groaning sound of a Police Box materializing. The Doctor and his companions aren't the only newcomers in town. The Clanton brothers have ridden in to settle a grudge with Doc Holliday, the notorious gambler, drinker, and dentist. In the Wild West, tempers are short, guns are swift, and a moment's hesitation on the draw can mean death... 26. The Savages When the TARDIS materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The travellers soon discover that the planet's population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders - who inhabit a technologically advanced city - seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated Savages. Whilst the Elders' leader, Jano, welcomes the Doctor into their society, Dodo stumbles upon a dark secret at the heart of the community. The truth behind the Elders' great knowledge is eventually revealed, and the Doctor sees it as his duty to end a terrible case of exploitation. Yet Jano has plans of his own for the Doctor... With the Doctor's faithful companion Steven discovering that events on this planet will irrevocably shape his destiny. Last episode for Steven who volunteers to stay behind and lead the planet.
