<BR>*Featuring the Third Doctor and Ian

<BR><BR>*Time-placing: The flashback to the First Doctor takes places during the episode 'An Unearthly Child', from the story '100,000 BC'; the Third Doctor has met the Master, so I'm placing his appearance at the end of Season 8; Ian Chesterton's appearances take place from 1969 onwards
