The Space Museum



The Space Museum (part 1)



The TARDIS console freezes then moves in slow motion as the regulars are frozen in place around it and the screen goes blank.

We see a bunch of dead spaceships and an old fort building.

The TARDIS lands against a rocky backdrop.

The Crusade

 

The Crusade (episode 1)




Ah, even after a weaker story there's nothing quite like the Dr Who theme to get your mood up.

Some men with swords hunt through a forest, with other men stalking them. The TARDIS lands silently in the middle of this as the tense music grows. Already this has more jeopardy to it than Web Planet and nothing has happened.

It's Julian Glover! What an actor. He's speaking in iambic pentameter too and tells us we are in Jaffa and he's taking on Saladin. So its Richard the Lionheart.

The Aztecs

Aztecs (episode 1)
The Temple of Evil


 

There's the TARDIS toy taking off again.

And suddenly, a death mask! And the words "Written by John Lucarotti" which suggest high promise. The TARDIS has landed in a tomb which Barbara immediately recognises as an Aztec priest. They've landed in the time period of Barbara's favourite school subject! Although if the chap was buried in 1430 it's a bit late in the day to be "early Aztec".
