Originial air dates November through December 1975. Sorry iPhone, here comes Google.
TARDIS appears in a wood. Doctor and Sarah get out and start poking around. They miss the UNIT man jerkily wakling past. Men in white hazmat suits shoot their fingers at them. They run away. They are chased.
They find themselves in a quiet village. Sarah knows the place. No one is around so they check the pub. Empty. There’s drinks on the tables, cigar lit in an ashtray.
The four men in hazmat and the stray UNIT guy are back. Villagers are delivered by truck. They take their places, such as in the pub, and at noon sharp they wake up and act as if nothing has happened.
Doctor goes out to investiagate, leaves Sarah at the pub. She gets a cool reception, is thrown out for being a stranger.
Doctor ambles up to the space definse site. UNIT man in lobby ignores him. He looks around.
Sarah gets to the TARDIS, puts key in lock, gets distracted, TARDIS dematerilizes with key and wihtout her.
Doctor is taken to detention at space center. Brigadier is in Geneva. Sarah rescues the Doctor as credits roll. An alien – a Sontaran? – watches through a peep hole.
Guy Crayford is dead, so can’t be walking around giving orders. Or he came back from space and someone’s controlling them. Must warn London! Running through the woods. Chased by UNIT with dogs.
Sarah is captured.
Harry scans her, not recognizing her.
Doctor can’t find a phone.
Lumpy aliens, not Sontarans. Krull invasion of Earth.
Sarah tells the Doctor they’re copying people, and she escaped. Doctor realizes she’s a replacement – she liked the ginger beer.
He challengers Sarah on being the real Sarah. She draws a pistol on him and there is a kerfuffle. Her face falls off as credits roll.
Sarah is alive, so she can test the virus that will wipe out the human race. She has nine minutes to stop a bomb in the village that will destroy all the test apparatus and the Doctor. The Invasion timetable has begun.
Doctor is captured by aliens, as Sarah escapes.
Three minutes until matter disolver bomb eradicates village and Doctor. Doctor escapes with Sarah’s help, they get to safe spot. Desert scrub is all that’s left.
Crayford is convinced the humans will share Earth with the Krull, but the Krull plan on killing everyone.
They copy the Doctor’s brain patterns, leaving the machine on to explode his brain when it is done.
Sarah sets up the trap for their guards, luring one in with smoke and zapping him with a power cable.
Sarah shuts the scanner thing off. They hide in the rocket as it launches to Earth. G-forces crush them at launch, and credits roll.
A faux Doctor talks Sarah through the doomed plan he’s made up. Turns out it’s close enough and it is what they do.
Space Base is on alert already as the TARDIS came home empty, with the key still in it.
Pods land before spaceship does.
Sarah sneaks around, finds the TARDIS. So does Faux Doctor and Faux Sarah.
Android invasion in progress, and working so far. Doctor has a plan to jam the androids, but needs to turn it on. Doctor and Faux Doctor fight until the power is hit, and then the androids freeze. Replica doctor used to attack the Krull.
How did that one android get active? Presumably the Doctor fiddled it when he fiddled its programming.
How did the virus not destroy everyone? Oops.
Doctor drives TARDIS away, taking Sarah home, or so he says.
