Doctor Who (1963) Season 3 Episode 7 Small Prophet, Quick Return (2)

Following their adventures in 1930s New York City, the Doctor and Martha find themselves in ancient Greece as they continue their travels through time and space. They arrive in a temple where they witness the oracles in action. The High Priestess, Thalia, invites them to stay and listen to the prophecies. However, the Doctor soon realizes that the prophecies are not genuine and there is something more sinister going on.

The Doctor and Martha explore the temple and discover that it is not a place of worship but rather a front for a time-travelling scam operation. A group of aliens are using the oracles to predict disasters and then sell their services to the highest bidder, claiming that they can prevent these disasters from happening. The aliens, known as the Kaleds, are the same race as the villainous Davros and are using their time travel technology to manipulate events in their favor.

The Doctor confronts Thalia, who is actually a Kaled in disguise, and exposes their true motives. He also discovers that the Kaleds have set their sights on Martha, as they believe her time-traveling abilities could be of use to them. The Doctor and Martha must work together to escape the temple and stop the Kaleds before they can do any more harm.

As they make their way through the temple, the Doctor and Martha encounter various obstacles and challenges. They must navigate through traps and puzzles, all while avoiding the Kaleds. The Doctor uses his knowledge of history to outsmart the Kaleds, while Martha’s quick thinking and resourcefulness help them escape danger.

Along the way, the Doctor and Martha also encounter a young man named Adsil. Adsil is a prophet who has been imprisoned by the Kaleds for refusing to work with them. The Doctor and Martha help him escape, and together they uncover a hidden underground tunnel that leads to the heart of the Kaled operation.

When they finally reach the Kaleds’ base, they discover that the aliens are using their time travel technology to turn a profit by investing in stocks and manipulating the markets. The Doctor realizes that their actions could have catastrophic effects on the timeline and must stop them at all costs.

In the climax of the episode, the Doctor and Martha face off against the Kaleds and their leader, an evil mastermind named Zoltar. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to disable the Kaleds’ time-traveling technology, while Adsil uses his prophetic abilities to predict Zoltar’s next move. Martha’s bravery and quick reflexes help them to overcome the Kaleds’ minions and ultimately defeat Zoltar.

The episode ends with the Doctor and Martha parting ways with Adsil, who chooses to stay in ancient Greece with a newly-found purpose. The Doctor and Martha reflect on their adventure and the dangers of time travel, vowing to always protect the timeline from those who would seek to manipulate it for their own gain.
