The Doctor and Jamie find themselves trapped with a hostile robot alongside a giant space station. What’s the connection and could the Cybermen have something to do with it?

Vintage sci fi taking us on adventures in time and space, reflecting the broadcast standards and attitudes of its time.

1/6: The Tardis finds itself inside a rocket drifting in space and seemingly abandoned. The Doctor and Jamie emerge with caution and find that they are not alone. In the rocket is a 'Servo Robot' which seems curiously hostile. The rocket itself is drifting in the orbit of a wheel in space - a giant space station. What's the connection, and who's controlling the robot? Could it be that the Doctor's old enemies the Cybermen have something to do with it?
