Whilst they are exploring, the Doctor and his companions make a disturbing discovery: their future selves are preserved in the museum as exhibits in a display case! Now the time travellers face a terrible dilemma: how can they escape their fate, when every decision they could make could be taking them a step closer to their doom? Background Glyn Jones was unfamiliar with Doctor Who when he was approached by David Whitaker to develop a storyline for the series in 1964. The resulting scripts were inherited by incoming editor Dennis Spooner, who was keen to contrast tone and narrative style from story to story. Spooner felt The Space Museum, sandwiched as it was between the series historical adventure The Crusade and Dalek romp The Chase, should be pitched as intellectual science fiction. Consequently, much of the humour was removed from Jones' initial draft, although the story still boasts some unexpected comedic highlights, such as the Doctor emerging from inside a Dalek. In its opening episode, The Space Museum often feels more like The Twilight Zone than Doctor Who. The idea of the TARDIS 'jumping a time track' to grant the Doctor and his companions a glimpse into their own future is both intriguing and nightmarish, and challenges the idea of history being immutable, as established in earlier stories such as The Aztecs. Although at times it is somewhat hampered by its more traditional plot elements, the story raises thought-provoking questions about predestination and the dilemmas of travelling in the fourth dimension. Under Dennis Spooner's guidance, Doctor Who was beginning to explore the possibilities of time travel outside the strict boundaries of straightforward 'historical tourism'. As a result, it is not evil alien oppressors in The Space Museum who prove to be the real enemy, but Time itself ...
