Notes

  • This is the final story where the individual episodes have their own titles.  The next story after this (The Savages) went to a format where the episodes had “Episode 1, 2, etc” with the overall title.  Up until this story the overall title wasn’t shown on screen, just the individual titles.
  • The final episode of the Gunfighters does have a “Next Episode – Dr. Who & The Savages”, but it is the final episode to have such a title at the start of the end credits.  That’s the official episodes.  Some of the fan made reconstructions have “next week” titles at the end, but those weren’t in the original episodes, AFAIK.
  • One interesting thing about the song.  It was sung by an actress named Lynda Barron.  She would later appear in the flesh in other Doctor Who episodes.  The first one was “Enlightenment” (1983, Peter Davison) and the other was “Closing Time” (2011, Matt Smith).  Pictures of her other appearances are on this page.
