Radio Free Skaro - The Chronic Hysteresis has...

• WW1 - The Krotons 1, three words that, for years to come, will bring so much joy and hope towards Doctor Who fans that what they are about to watch just might be the most entertaining 24-and-half-minutes they'll have seen in some time, appear for the first time at the beginning of this episode: "By Robert Holmes".
• WW2 - The Krotons 2, this episode will always hold a special place in my mind because it contains the very first glimpse if Patrick Troughton I ever had as a youngster.
• WW3 - The Krotons 3, "I mentioned earlier how this story is the debut of esteemed writer Robert Holmes, but I've neglected to mention that this story is also the premiere Doctor Who television performance* of Sir Philip Madoc."
• WW4 - The Krotons 4, well meaning characters, especially people who are in positions of power, are not long for the world in Doctor Who stories.
• XX1 - The Seeds of Death 1, Episode One of this story features what might be, at the time, the longest elapsed time before The Doctor appears in the story - 8 minutes, four seconds, by my reckoning (although this mark will be shattered very soon). Two entire settings and plot threads are started up, Osgood, who looks like he's going to be a major character, is introduced and killed before we even see the TARDIS materialize.
