In the third episode of the four-part story "The Tenth Planet," the Cybermen set in motion their scheme for conquering the Earth. In his efforts to thwart the aliens, General Cutler (Robert Beatty) may cause far more harm than good. The conspicuous absence of the Doctor (William Hartnell) in this episode was intended to prepare the audience for a startling "transition" in the concluding chapter. Written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, Doctor Who: The Tenth Planet, Episode 3 first aired on October 22, 1966.
