50yearsofwhovians: 040 The Enemy of the World by David Whitaker Illustrated by shh-im-wondering Season 5, Story 4: The TARDIS lands on Earth but in the near future. Ramon Salamander, an enigmantic politician and scientist is being heralded as ‘The Shopkeeper of the World’ thanks to relieving global famine. However, strangely all his political opponents keep disappearing. Stranger still: he looks identical to the Doctor! Can the uncanny resemblance help the Doctor bring about the tyrant’s downfall? STORY FACTS ~ All but one part of this story is MISSING. It features the Second Doctor and companions Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield. Patrick Troughton portrayed both the Doctor and his enemy, Ramon Salamander in this story.  Seeing as William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Colin Baker have all portrayed the Doctor as well as another character, and that Romana also regenerated into a likeness of a character they had met before, it is possible to argue that Time Lords take on the appearance of other people in their time stream.  This is the only story in the season which isn’t a “Base Under Siege  story. The story takes place at a time when the world is ruled by the World Zones Organisation, and is divided into several sections. Patrick Troughton’s son David makes a cameo in this story. He would later start in the Tenth Doctor story Midnight. The final part of this story ended with a unique trailer for the next story The Web of Fear in which the Doctor broke the fourth wall and spoke to the audience about the Yeti’s return before running away from said creature. Unfortunately  as with the rest of the episode, this trailer has been lost.

50yearsofwhovians: 032 The Underwater Menace by Geoffrey Orme Illustrated by gluecookie Season 4, Story 5: The TARDIS lands on an extinct, volcanic island. However, there is something hidden below, something thought lost of centuries… Atlantis! A mad scientist of the Atlantean people has convinced their hybrid fish people who farm for plankton that Atlantis can rise again! However, he isn’t planning to bring the city up, he’s hoping to plunge the world downwards, drain the oceans and destroy the planet! The Doctor must make the decision… save the city or save the world! STORY FACTS ~ Parts of this story are MISSING. Only the middle two episodes survive. It features the Second Doctor and companions Polly Wright, Ben Jackson and Jamie McCrimmon. The story begins with each companion thinking of where they would like to land next. This is the first (and one of the only) examples of internal monologue in the show. In the season before this, the Doctor was called “Doctor Who” by WOTAN, and in this story his signs his name as “Dr. W”.  Working titles for this story include The Fish People, Doctor Who Under the Sea, Under the Sea and Atlanta.

50yearsofwhovians: 031 The Highlanders by Elwyn Jones and Gerry Davis Illustrated by fabledquill  “Sepia pen and watercolor.” Season 4, Story 4: The TARDIS lands in Scotland, just after the Battle of Culloden. The Doctor quickly gains the trust of a small band of fleeing Jacobites by tending to their wounds, and Polly goes to fetch water. But while she’s away there is am ambush and the Doctor and Ben face becoming slaves. Polly is going to have to save the day this time… but another friend is soon to join the TARDIS, a young piper by the name of Jamie McCrimmon. STORY FACTS ~ All of this story is MISSING. It features the Second Doctor and companions Polly Wright and Ben Jackson. Jamie McCrimmon joins the TARDIS at the end of the story as a new companion. Jamie Crimmon joins the TARDIS. He is still the longest running companion in terms of episodes and the longest running male companion of all. This is the last ‘Pure Historical’ Doctor Who ever did. The Fifth Doctor story ‘Black Orchid’ can also be considered a Pure Historical but it is based on entirely fictional situations and is very inaccurate. Despite being credited and commissioned to do the script, Elwyn Jones didn’t write a single line of the script. Frazer Hines, who plays Jamie, was friends with Patrick Troughton off screen as well and it was decided his minor character should be come a companion due to their great onscreen chemistry. The story was originally going to be called Culloden.
