Edge of Destruction
When an experiment goes wrong a large explosion shakes the TARDIS, and it appears that it was almost destroyed and has been left hanging in the void. The Doctor becomes suspicious and accuses the teachers of sabotage.
Marco Polo
The TARDIS crew meet the explorer, Marco Polo, who is on his way to the court of Kublai Kahn. Marco Polo hopes to free himself from the service of the Kublai Kahn by presenting him with the TARDIS and thence return to Europe.
The Keys of Marinus
The TARDIS lands on the mysterious island of Marinus which is surrounded by a sea of acid, and is captured by the Keeper of the conscience of Marinus. The Conscience of Marinus is a machine that ensures justice to the people of Marinus. The Doctor and his companions set off to retrieve the four missing keys that control it, but can they stop them falling into enemy hands.
The Aztecs
The TARDIS arrives inside an Aztec temple in the 15th century. The travelers leave the temple, and a massive door closes behind them, cutting them off from the TARDIS. Barbara is mistaken for a reincarnation of Yetaxa (an Aztec God), while Ian is forced
into a fight to the death with the Aztec champion Ixta. While the Doctor attempts to find a way back to the TARDIS again, Barbara takes advantage of her position to try to stop human sacrifices, against the Doctor's wishes.

The Doctor uncovers a human plot to kill the Sensorites, but can he put a stop to it in time?
The Reign of Terror
The TARDIS materializes in France in the grip of the French Revolution and the crew rapidly become embroiled. Before long Ian and Susan are captives in the Bastille and the Doctor impersonates a regional governor in an attempt to get them freed. Ian and Barbara become spies, trying to find out who the next leader of France is to be, and when they discover Napoleon Bonaparte is the likely contender, the suggestion is met with derision.
