The War Machines

The TARDIS lands in London, in 1966. The Doctor senses a strange energy nearby and visits the newly completed Post Office Tower. He and Dodo meet Professor Brett, creator of WOTAN (Will Operating Thought ANalogue), a computer that thinks for itself. In four days, on C-Day, WOTAN will be linked with computers all over the world. Dodo and Polly, Brett's secretary, go to Inferno, a local nightclub and meet Ben Jackson while the Doctor attends a meeting about WOTAN, lead by Sir Charles Summer.

The War Machines

Before Brett goes to the meeting, he's hypnotised by WOTAN. He then gets Krimpton, an electronics expert, from the meeting and takes him to be hypnotised by WOTAN, as is Major Green, the chief of security for the Post Office Tower. WOTAN sends a control signal to Dodo over the telephone. She goes to WOTAN and it tells her "Doctor Who is required, bring him here", (The first instance of the Doctor being referred to by that name). WOTAN intends to take over the world with an army of War Machines. Using hypnosis WOTAN orders workers to build 12 War Machines around London. One is close to the Inferno club.

Dodo, the Doctor, Ben and Polly leave for Sir Charles' house. A tramp near the nightclub, looking for a place to sleep, discovers Machine 3 and is killed. The next day, Dodo gets the Doctor to call Brett and he is almost hypnotised by WOTAN. Dodo, thinking the Doctor is now hypnotised; she says that the War Machines are in strategic points across London. The Doctor frees her and sends her to the country to recover. When Polly disappears, the Doctor sends Ben to look for around the club, after reading about the tramp being found dead there. Ben finds the War Machine nearby; he's captured and put to work as a slave labourer. He learns that the War Machines are going to attack at noon the next day. He escapes but Polly doesn't try to stop him; so she's sent to be punished by WOTAN. Sir Charles has the army attack the War Machine near the club but their weapons are somehow disabled and they retreat.

The Doctor stands in front of the Machine and it stops; it hasn't been completely programmed. Once the Machine is deactivated, the workmen and Major Green are no longer hypnotised. By studying the Machine, the Doctor learns about the other machines and when they're going to attack. Then they get a report of another War Machine going haywire while it's being tested. The army helps the Doctor to trap the Machine and reprogram it to destroy WOTAN. Ben gets to the tower ahead of the Machine and rescues Polly before it comes in and immobilizes WOTAN. Krimpton is killed in the ensuing battle and WOTAN is destroyed before it can order the other War Machines to attack all of London. As a result, Brett and all the others who were hypnotised return to normal. Ben and Polly tell the Doctor that Dodo has decided to stay. He thanks them and enters the TARDIS. Ben and Polly follow him, intent on returning Dodo's key and the Doctor promptly whisks them away!
