Doctor Who: The Ambassadors of Death

One of the most popular shows in British TV history, this long-running, shoestring-budgeted sci-fi saga followed the exploits of "the Doctor," a maverick scientist and adventurer who traversed space and time in the TARDIS, a high-tech craft disguised (well, stuck, actually) as a London police box. William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy starred as the various eccentric incarnations of the Doctor during the series's initial 1963-1989 run.

When a manned Earth-to-Mars mission can't be located and a three-person rescue mission also disappears after returning to Earth, the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and Liz discover a dangerous scheme involving alien emissaries and a renegade general. 170 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH). 170 min. Two-disc set.
