THE WAR MACHINES

The Doctor inspects the latest innovation: a fully-automated, radio controlled
MP3 player with bonus machine guns. 
Season: 3
Episodes: 4
Broadcast Dates: 25 June-16 July 1966
Producer: Innes Lloyd
Script Editor: Gerry Davis
Writer: Ian Stuart Black
Director: Michael Ferguson
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Jackie Lane (Dodo)
Joining In: Ben (Michael Craze), Polly (Anneke Wills)
Jumping Ship: Dodo, who has a bit of a headache.

The Plot: Doctor Who goes Mod Squad as the Doctor and Dodo teams up with a pair of kids from the Now! Generation to stop a maniachal computer.
We Like: The Doctor lands in contemporary England, teams up with government officials and the army to stop the baddies. 3 and a half years later down the line, you'll be seeing this kind of stuff every week. Groundbreaking!
We Dislike: WOTAN manages to be ahead-of-is-time and hopelessly dated at the same time.
Rating: 4
