The Enemy of the World is the fourth serial of the fifth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which originally aired in six weekly parts from 23 December 1967 to 27 January 1968.
The serial is set in Australia and Hungary in 2018. In the serial, the time traveller the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and his travelling companions Jamie McCrimmon (Frazer Hines) and Victoria Waterfield (Deborah Watling) work with the spies Giles Kent (Bill Kerr) and Astrid Ferrier (Mary Peach) to expose the Doctor's Mexican doppelgänger Salamander (Troughton) as having created natural disasters on Earth.
The story is a break from the monsters and "base under siege" of season five, instead featuring a dual role for Troughton.
For over forty years, only Episode 3 was known to exist in the BBC's archives, having been saved from being wiped and junked. On 11 October 2013, the BBC announced that the other five episodes had been found and were back in their hands again.[1][2]
