THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION


 THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION.   Written by David Whittaker.   2 Episodes.
                            8th - 15th February 1964
                         
 The Edge of Destruction, The Brink of Disaster,

 COMPANIONS:-  Ian, Barbara and Susan.

   In a desperate attempt to regain control of the TARDIS directional
 system, the Doctor tries a new combination. There is a massive explosion as
 a result and the crew are rendered unconscious.
   When they all regain their senses, Susan and Barbara believe that the
 TARDIS has been invaded by an alien force. Ian says that the TARDIS must
 be suffering a technical failure but the fault locator shows clear.
 The crew begin to suffer psychological problems and the Doctor accuses Ian
 and Barbara of sabotage and threatens to throw them from the ship.
 Even Susan begins to suspect the pair.
   Eventually they realise that the TARDIS defence system is responsible
 for all the trouble and had stopped the ship because the Fast Return Switch
 had jammed, threatening to return them all to the point of creation.
   This is the only story set entirely aboard the TARDIS with no other cast
 apart from the regulars.
