Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday, Episode 1
The Doctor (Peter Davison) and his companions materialize on a huge Urbankan space vessel. They soon learn that their frog-like "hosts" intend to attack and plunder the earth -- but at first, the Doctor does not know how this is going to be accomplished. Beginning its four-episode run on January 18 1982, "Four to Doomsday" was the first adventure to feature Peter Davison as the fifth Doctor, but was telecast second, after the season-opening "Castrovalva." It was written by Terence Dudley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday, Episode 2
In the second episode of the four-part story "Four to Doomsday," the Doctor (Peter Davidson) and his companions are trapped aboard a space vessel commandeered by the frog-like Urbankans. Likewise in the same predicament are four other passengers, all apparently earthlings, each from a different race (Greek, Chinese, Mayan, and Aboriginal Australian) and different time periods. First telecast January 19, 1982, "Four to Doomsday, Episode 2" was written by Terence Dudley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday, Episode 3
In the third episode of the four-part story "Four to Doomsday," the Doctor (Peter Davison) is still imprisoned on an Urbankan space vessel, still at the mercy of two frog-like aliens who hope to conquer the world. Hoping to prevent this catastrophe, the Doctor enlists the aid of four earthling passengers, each from a different race and time period. Unfortunately, this foursome is not quite what they appear to be. First telecast January 25, 1982, "Four to Doomsday, Episode 3" was written by Terence Dudley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday, Episode 4
In the conclusion of the four-part story "Four to Doomsday," the Doctor (Peter Davison) discovers that the alien Urbankans intend to wipe out humankind, then repopulate the earth with androids designed to resemble the planet's various ethnic types. Only by hoodwinking the androids into performing a series of frenzied ritualistic dances will the Doctor be able to prevent this cataclysmic disaster. Stratford Johns guest stars as the frog-like Urbankan Monarch. First telecast January 26, 1982, "Four to Doomsday, Episode 4" was written by Terence Dudley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
