Introductions to the stories, spoken over caption slides, were a peculiar feature of WTTW's Doctor Who broadcasts. Although not really necessary, they did show the WTTW staff getting into the spirit of things. Courtesy of WTTW, we present here transcripts of the introductions and the announcements of the next week's episode.
