"Dr. Who", a serialized science-fiction series about a Time Lord who defends earth against every incredible menace imaginable to the special effects people at the British Broadcasting Corporation in London, invades KRON-TV, Channel 4, Saturday, September 22, at 6:30 P.M.
Starring Jon Pertwee as the invincible, if eccentric Dr. Who, the series of cliffhanger episodes is one of the longest-running in the history of the BBC. Now the good Doctor has come to San Francisco viewers will be treated to a hero unlike any created here in the Colonies. He's no youngster, this hardy Time Lord, yet he sports a flaring red silk cape and bounces in and out of the Time-Space Continuum in a machine called TARDIS.
For his earth-bound adventures, Dr. Who switches to a more conventional helicopter and anachronistically motors about in an Edwardian Roadster called "Bessie" which has some very special equipment that James Bond might well envy.
The villains who always corner Who at the end of each episode are the flakiest assortment of monsters and wierdos you've ever seen yet Dr. Who takes them all in his rather jaunty stride.
"Dr. Who" has been on the air in England for eight years, during which time the Time Lord has changed assistants (both pretty girls, the sly old fox) but never his red silk cape.
