"The Faceless Ones" sees the TARDIS make a hazardous return to 1960s Earth, materializing on a runway at Gatwick Airport!

In "The Evil of the Daleks," the TARDIS has been stolen by antiques dealer Edward Waterfield, who lures the Doctor and Jamie into an elaborate trap set by the most deadly race in the universe: The Daleks.

"The Abominable Snowmen" finds the TARDIS in the Himalayas in 1935, where the Doctor makes a return visit to the nearby Detsen monastery—only to find it under attack, apparently from the Yeti...

In "The Ice Warriors," the TARDIS crew materializes in an England of the future to find Earth in the grip of a new Ice Age—and under threat from a new menace in the form of the Ice Warriors.

Malcolm Hulke was a prolific and respected television writer from the 1950s until the 1970s. His writing credits included the early science fiction Pathfinders series, as well as The Avengers. Hulke was first approached to write for Doctor Who when the series first started, but his idea for The Hidden Planet was not pursued. In 1967 he wrote The Faceless Ones (with David Ellis) for the Second Doctor. By 1969, Hulke's friend and occasional writing partner Terrance Dicks was Script Editor for Doctor Who and needed a ten part story to replace other scripts and write out Patrick Troughton's Doctor. Together, they wrote The War Games, which for the first time explained the Doctor's origins and introduced his people, the Time Lords. Hulke continued to write for Doctor Who, providing a story for each of the Third Doctor's series. Malcolm Hulke died in 1979, soon after completing his novelisation of The War Games. David Whitaker was the first Story Editor for Doctor Who, and was responsible for finding and commissioning writers, and it was Whitaker as much as anyone who defined the narrative shape of Doctor Who.He wrote for the Doctor Whoannuals, novelised the first Dalek story and worked with Terry Nation on various Dalek-related material including the hugely successful comic strip The Daleks. David Whitaker died in 1980.
