This story has 6 episodes in it and was aired from: 8 August–12 September 1964.
The Reign of Terror was the last story from the first ever series of Doctor Who.
Currently, the original master copies of episodes 4 and 5 remain missing from the BBC archive. However, the missing episodes have been reconstructed in animated format for the 2013 DVD release of the serial. Though the actual footage is yet to be recovered, both episodes retain the full-length audio soundtracks originally recorded during the original transmission.
Official Synopsis:
The TARDIS materialises not far from Paris in 1794 — one of the bloodiest years following the French Revolution of 1789. The travellers become involved with an escape chain rescuing prisoners from the guillotine and get caught up in the machinations of an English undercover spy, James Stirling — alias Lemaitre, governor of the Conciergerie prison.
My Opinion:
I found this episode quite slow and a little boring. I don't know how many times the characters have to say guillotine :( lol.
Susan again in this is sidelined the people behind the scenes seemed to have no faith in Susan preferring to give the better parts to Barbara and Ian.
My Rating:
5/10
