91Èȱ¬

Vintage sci fi taking us on adventures in time and space, reflecting the broadcast standards and attitudes of its time.

1/6: The Tardis finds itself inside a rocket drifting in space and seemingly abandoned. The Doctor and Jamie emerge with caution and find that they are not alone. In the rocket is a 'Servo Robot' which seems curiously hostile. The rocket itself is drifting in the orbit of a wheel in space - a giant space station. What's the connection, and who's controlling the robot? Could it be that the Doctor's old enemies the Cybermen have something to do with it?
