From a story by Kit Pedler
Dr. Who starts today a new adventure in space and time
Starring Patrick Troughton as Dr. Who
with Michael Turner, Anne Ridler, Eric Flynn
and Frazer Hines, Deborah Watling

The Tardis, with its knack of materialising in some pretty unusual places, 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?

The time is early 1944 and British Intelligence is working on its plans for the invasion of France. Captain Rawson has been planning for some time to send an agent to work with the maquis in the area to mount actions that will divert the Germans' attention from the real intended invasion area. At a crucial moment the resistance group in Pas de Calais are rounded up by the Germans. Rawson decides he can still throw the enemy off the scent, but his new plan is a particularly ruthless and cruel one-cruel, that is, for Paul Raine, the young officer chosen to carry it out...
