                          THE REIGN OF TERROR
                       EPISODE 1 - A LAND OF FEAR
                   _________________________________
The TARDIS lands on Earth, and the Doctor insists he has finally
succeeded in bringing Ian and Barbara home. The two travellers are
doubtful, though, and suggest a quiet drink in a pub as a cover for
finding out which time they're actually in. This turns out to be 1794,
near Paris - one of the bloodiest years of the French Revolution,
Robespierre's 'Reign of Terror'.
The travellers find a young local boy, who runs away as soon as he can,
obviously terrified by the strangers. They then come to a country house,
and find a stash of clothing and forged documents - they realise it is a
safe house on an escape route to England. The Doctor investigates
upstairs, and is knocked unconscious by two men, Rouvray and D'Argenson.
The two then hold the travellers at gun point, but release them when
they realise they are English. Rouvray and D'Argenson explain they are
on the run from the authorities in Paris. The sounds of approaching
soldiers are heard from outside; Rouvray and D'Argenson are both
captured and shot. Ian, Barbara and Susan narrowly escape summary
execution, but are instead taken to Paris to be tried and guillotined.
As the soldiers leave the house, they set fire to it with torches. The
Doctor begins to wake, but is quickly overcome by smoke; as the
companions are led away, their last sight is that of the house burning
down with the Doctor still inside...

                                  1964
                               6 episodes
                  ***********************************
   'The Reign of Terror' was the final story of Doctor Who's first
   season. The story was originally wiped from the BBC's archives, but
   episodes 1-3 and 6 have been recovered from a foreign TV station and
   a private film collector.
   The story is set in 1794 in and around Paris, during the French
   Revolution - the 'Reign of Terror' refers to Robespierre's infamous
   mass executions of the nobility and anyone else he felt was a threat
   to him. As the first three episodes of the story do still survive
   only a summary of the events of these episodes is provided.

   Hi Steve,
   Really?  As a newcommer to the audios, I had no idea.
   I a faq I read somewhere it stated that the guy who recorded it
didn't like the idea of Hartnell talking to the audience and deleted
that part from the recording.  I have no idea if they have since
found a copy with it intact though.
   I didn't know this.  I do know that some people are lazy or don't
want to go through the hassle.
   Thanks for the info.  I really doubt that I will ever try again
other than curiousity.  It's apreciated though.
