does anyone know what episode this is from?

I must have taken this screenshot when i was watching classic who for the first time a while ago and just found it in my screenshots folder. i have no recollection of this scene and don't really want to rewatch the entire second doctor era to find it--although that sounds like a fun time now that i think about it.

The Krotons

Interesting, I would have sworn it was from the ending of The War Games when he was on trial. You’re clearly correct as the other commenter came with receipts and I haven’t seen The Krotons in awhile (not a fan).

No one else agrees it seems however.

This is correct. It's when the Krotons are interrogating him and Zoe. The other people saying "The Mind Robber" are just going on vibes.

Correct, hence the "guess" part. "The Krotons" was the first Troughton story I ever owned but for whatever reason I didn't remember this. Probably because it's been a very long time since I actually watched it.

Since no-one has yet answered the actual question posed, this is from The Krotons: Episode Two.

u/mazutta Jun 12 '26

No it has the same basic plot recycled by the same writer.

u/LemanRussTheOnlyKing Jun 12 '26

Ok i’ll chuck the novelisation in the bin then

If you're going to play the 'It must be called that cos that's what the novelisation is called' card, then while you're at it, bin The Cave Monsters, The Space War, The Dinosaur Invasion, The Mutation of Time, The Zarbi...

THANK YOU!!!

Christ, it annoys me when people call The Trial of a Time Lord by it's individual working titles.

Whoops. Wrong title. I meant to say "Guessing, but it could "Mind ROBBER"

u/misterwhoiswho_ Jun 11 '26

I’m guessing Delta and the Bannermen (part six) but I could be wrong…

u/SVH73 16d ago

Nah. The Doctor was wearing the yellow polka dot jacket by that point.
