This four part episode stars William Hartnell as The Doctor (first Doctor). This
Doctor Who series is different, as they do not face aliens or any type
of monster. However in this case it is dealing with different customs,
as they visit the ancient Aztec civilization, which is built upon
superstition, and human sacrifice to appease the sun god. The Doctor is
traveling with his granddaughter and two friends. One of the friends
is mistaken as the reincarnation of a former prophet/god. She tries to
change the custom, and gets the group in trouble with the current
priests.
The group is trapped away from the TARDIS which is in the tomb, with a
one-way door. They have to devise a way to get out, while keeping out
of trouble dealing with the laws and customs. At the same time the
priest of sacrifice is pushing for more power, and suspects the
reincarnation is a false god. None of the science fiction stuff, other
than traveling through time, but an enjoyable story.
