THE WHEEL IN SPACE


 THE WHEEL IN SPACE.   Written by David Whittaker.   4 episodes.
                       27th April - 1st June 1968.
                     
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and introducing Zoe Heriot.

   The TARDIS materialises aboard a rocket which is orbiting a huge Wheel in
 Space. The Doctor and Jamie are taken aboard the Wheel and find that
 Cybermats are at work. The Cybermen are using them to try to gain control
 of the Wheel, in preparation for a new attempt at invading Earth.
   With the help of a young astrophysicist called Zoe, the Doctor first
 manages to save the Wheel from a meteor storm engineered by the Cybermen
 and then destroys the Cyber ship with the Wheel's laser.
   At the end of the story, Zoe steals aboard the TARDIS but is discovered.
 After pleading to be allowed to join the Doctor and Jamie on their travels,
 Zoe is shown the perils she will face when the Doctor projects a past
 adventure onto the TARDIS scanner. This led to a repeat the following week
 of THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS.
   THE WHEEL IN SPACE was scripted from a story by Kit Pedler and it was the
 last story of season five, one which  became known as The Monster Season.
