27 BB - THE WAR MACHINES

BROADCAST DETAILS

123. Episode 1 25.06.66 5.35pm - 6.00pm 5.4M/71st/49% 124. Episode 2 02.07.66 6.55pm - 7.20pm 4.7M/76th/45% 125. Episode 3 09.07.66 5.35pm - 6.00pm 5.3M/62nd/44% 126. Episode 4 16.07.66 5.15pm - 5.40pm 5.5M/67th/39%

WORKING TITLE: Doctor Who and the Computers

NOTES: The first draft scripts of this story were by Pat Dunlop. The story title, writer credit and episode number come up as computer-style graphics, the first use of unusual titling. The end credits to episode one scroll over a WOTAN symbol.

Gerald Taylor is only credited as the voice of WOTAN for episode four; the other episodes use the caption "and WOTAN", presumably to infer that it is a real computer.

The credit "Based on an idea by Kit Pedler" is used in the closing credits, instead of the opening titles as later.

Dodo departs during episode two.

NOVELISATION: Ian Stuart Black (1989/Number 136)
