-almost every story, (with the exception of Earth Aid) took place on Earth, much like the previous Season and most of the Pertwee era. This Season also featured a story arc, in each story there was a character played by John Banks. In Blood And Iron it's revealed that Henrick was used in a time travel experiment by the Metatraxi and this created echoes of him at various points in time.
