The Chase
The Chase was the eighth story of season 2 of Doctor Who. As well as featuring the first use of time travel by the Daleks, it saw the departures of original companions Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, played by William Russell and Jacqueline Hill respectively, and the first appearance of new companion Steven Taylor, portrayed by Peter Purves. Peter Purves further does "double-duty" in this story, by appearing earlier in the serial as an incidental character.
It saw the same story style as Nation's The Keys of Marinus, with the TARDIS crew in different locations nearly every episode. A similar style would later be used in The Daleks' Master Plan and The Infinite Quest. The Chase also saw characters from other works of fiction making appearances, albeit as robotic duplicates in this story. Similar appearances would occur elsewhere in the programme's history. It also saw the program's take on the mystery of the Mary Celeste, a story that would be contradicted by other media. Later, the story Carnival of Monsters would feature a different mysterious ship, albeit a fictional one.
