The TARDIS seems emptier without Barbara and Ian - at least until the Doctor and Vicki discover that the astronaut Steven stowed away before they left Mechanus. Steven's skepticism toward time travel pushes the Doctor to confront him with living proof. Shortly after landing on a beach in England, they discover a Viking helmet, but Steve remains unconvinced. Instructing Steve and Vicki to wait with the TARDIS, the Doctor seeks further proof. Heedless of the Doctor's warning, Steven persuades Vicki to explore the cliffs above the beach, where they find an abandoned wristwatch. Meanwhile, the Doctor investigates a ruined monastery, where he encounters an electric toaster, a gramophone playing ecclesiastic chants, and a monk who traps him in an alcove. Eventually, the Doctor realizes that the famous Battle of Hastings is only a few weeks away. That should provide ample proof for Steven, but who is this mysterious monk, and what is his interest in the events of 1066?

« A must for Hartnell fans »

My wife got me this for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier! Prior to this, I had only been exposed to Doctors 4 through 10. After this, I was able to get story arcs from Troughton, Pertwee, and T. Baker. I have to say that Hartnell and Troughton are DEFINITELY my 2 favorite Doctors. If for no other reason than Hartnell explaining the layout of the T.A.R.D.I.S., you simply HAVE to watch this. .:. Rating: 5 / 5

For fans of Doctor Who, this is an excellent view into the Timelords world. This is the first time a fellow timelord shows up and his TARDIS really works. It starts out slow, but once the action starts, it's great. .:. Rating: 4 / 5

Doctor Who - The Time Meddler (Episode 17)
It was a vintage Dr. Who. Well acted. The sets are a little hokey, but the story is good. This must have been one the early stories, as the series started as a teaching (History) tool. .:. Rating: 4 / 5
