Ah! So, this week's serial lineup is a bit special - I've included two bonus stories, instead of putting the main serial with the other two of next week. The bonus stories this week are two of the Jon Pertwee era - his first serial as the Third Doctor, to bridge the gap between the Two & Three eras, & The Curse of Peladon, which isn't entirely a bonus story - it features David Troughton, son of the delightful Patrick Troughton, in the lead role as King Peladon, which is also a bit of a connector & lead-in to the last serial for the week, The Three Doctors.

So, let's get down to business & start up with the first serial of this week & the very first serial of the Pertwee era, Spearhead From Space!

Now, we move from Liz Shaw to her successor, the sweet yet tough Jo Grant, who I also love, in our second bonus story for the week, The Curse of Peladon!

& here, we move back to the connector thread of these past two serials - The Three Doctors! This was my first multi-Doctor serial & I've always loved it, so I'm looking forward to recapping it for you all.

& those are our serials for this week! Next week we have The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors & Jamie's first Companion Chronicle, Helicon Prime.
