Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the sixth episode of the seven-part story "Doctor Who and the Silurians," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is able to prevent an epidemic which would have wiped out all humankind. But the Silurians, an ancient race of superintelligent reptiles bent on reclaiming the world for themselves, will not concede defeat. They hatch a horrifying alternative scheme to destory the Van Allen Belt so that the Earth's atmosphere will be more hospitable to them -- and more deadly to the humans. Written by Malcolm Hulke, "Doctor Who and the Silurians, Episode 6" first aired on March 7, 1970. Filmed in color, this episode is presently available in black-and-white only.
