  • I can see where the Autons came from as for Doctor Who & The Seeds Of Doom, gee whizz, who wrote that?

  • There was the Tara King episode...."Invasion OF The Earthmen"

    Cheers!!

  • Also "Who's Who" where two enemy agents swap bodies with Steed & Mrs. Peel! I'm sure that I could come up with more given time!

  • You're absolutely right! I'm surprised that Steed wasn't wise to it when one of his fellow agents managed to escape to warn him before he died and he didn't use the time portal to do it! I also remember that rare Christopher Lee appearance and was sorry that we didn't see Steed & Mrs. Peel fight their "duplicates" as was originally written in the script!

  • What about "The House that Jack Built?" A completely automated house with one purpose: revenge against Emma Knight (Peel)! Also "Dial a Deadly Number" that featured a Bellboy, predecessor of the pager/cellphone, as a murder weapon! And let's not forget "The Positive Negative Man" where a unique killer uses his chemically charged body as a weapon! And what about "Thingamajig," from the Tara King era, featuring killer boxes that discharged bolts of electricity! You've gotta do more homework!

  • As I remember, the time machine was a con. "Never, Never Say Die," with the duplicates, was more of a science fiction story than either "Escape in Time" or "The Winged Avenger."

  • You said that there were Seven Sci Fi episodes. you list four here. The Second Cybernaut episode make five. What are the other 2?

  • Man-Eater of Surrey Green, was later Copied for a 'Doctor Who story (The Seeds Of Doom), &

    `The Cybernauts.. Michael Gough was copied for

    (JOHN LUMIC ~ "Rise Of The Cybermen")!

  • Bravo !
