Episode #15 : The Space Museum

"Time, like space, although a dimension in itself, also has dimensions of its own."

 

Episode 15:   The Space Museum.
Companions: The 1st Doctor, Vicki, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright.
Air Date:       Four episodes. 24th April to 15th May 1965.

The TARDIS jumps a time track and the travellers arrive on the planet Xeros. There they discover their own future selves displayed as exhibits in a museum established as a monument to the galactic conquests of the warlike Morok invaders who now rule the planet. When time shifts back to normal, they realise that they must do everything they can to avert this potential future.

The Space Museum puts the show back on course with some good old fashioned science fiction. In this case the companions end up arriving ahead of themselves where they must then undo what they have seen before it happens. Coupled with assisting a revolution to reclaim a planet and we have a really good story.

In this story you get more of a hint that the Doctor is beginning to see that time can be altered in small ways. Perhaps setting up for his future adventures.

This story features Jeremy Bulloch as one of the Xerons. He is more known to us as the body actor for Boba Fett in the original Star Wars movies.

The Space Museum is a good story that I recommend for new viewers looking to see the history of the show.
