The War Games

The TARDIS appears to land in no mans land in the middle of the first world. The Doctor and his companions are captured and taken back to General Smythe's headquarters, where he orders them to be executed.

They manage to escape, and enter a strange fog. When they emerge they are in a different landscape, and in a different era where they come close to being attacked by a Roman legion.

After passing through different zones the Doctor finds the main headquarters, and finds that all the zones are in fact part of the war games, where people from different time periods are set down in a re-creation of their own landscape to fight.

The Doctor also finds out that the War Chief is in fact one of his own people - a Time Lord. The Doctor realises that he has not got the power to return all the people to their own times, and reluctantly calls on the Time Lords to intervene.

Having given his position away the Time Lords also catch up with the Doctor, something they have been trying to do since he left Gallifrey. The Doctor is put on trial: Jamie and Zoe are returned to their own times, with their memories of all but their first adventure erased. The Doctor is exiled to Earth, and he is forced to regenerate...
