    Even though I am not from Chicago, WTTW's broadcasts of Doctor Who were what got me interested in the show. I have some tapes I got from someone who started taping the show two weeks after the Max Headroom incident. Thanks for the clip!

    I'm not from Chicago either but it's nice to reminise about the old Doctor Who.
    BTW what season is this from? I don't recognize the opening.

    That's Jon Pertwee, the third Doctor.

    "Terror of the Autons" was originally from January 1971. It was Pertwee's first or second season as the Doctor and introduced Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Roger Delgado as The Master.

    It was indeed the first episode from Pertwee's second season.
