4) The resolution is rather basic and Dr Who Weekly stole the idea (Timeslip issues 17-18)

5) This was the real end of series 1 and what followed was due to the success of the Daleks and therefore Dr Who series 1 should be split in 2 and Marco Polo starts series 2

7) David Whittaker wrote this and also the first novel and the stories in the annuals and is the unsung hero of early Dr Who

8) If the BBC remade this in colour now it would last for 2 minutes.

A 2 part filler as the episodes originally planned for season 1 were 13 and this is numbers 12 and 13.
Also known as "Beyond The Sun".
And "Inside the Tardis".

I don't wish to cause offence but what is the point of this post?

No offence caused and equally I hope the post did not cause you any offence.
It's just a bit of Xmas fun that relates indirectly to the recent colourization of The War Games in that it takes a post modern humourous look at
early Dr Who.
If you would like me to delete the post, I shall.

No thats OK. I hadn't seen the previous posts explaining it but the lack of votes suggests not a lot of interest. I was lucky enough to be watching Dr. Who during the Hartnell period and my earliest memory is the Zarbi. Giant ants with human legs.

My earliest Dr. Who is during the Pertwee period, giant dinosaurs invading London.
