Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the first episode of the four-part story "The Romans," the Doctor (William Hartnell), Vicki (Maureen O'Brien), Ian (William Russell), and Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) climb into the TARDIS and take a trip to ancient Rome. No sooner have they arrived at a picturesque villa than the Doctor and his companions are attacked by slavers. In the ensuing fracas, Ian and Barbara are captured and sold into bondage. Originally telecast on January 16, 1965, "The Slave Traders" was written by Dennis Spooner.
