The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (also known simply as The
Massacre) is the completely missing fourth serial of the third season
in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was
first broadcast in four weekly parts from 5 to 26 February 1966.In
this serial, the Doctor (William Hartnell) and his travelling
companion Steven (Peter Purves) arrive in France in 1572, during the
events leading up to the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, getting
caught up in conflict between the Catholics and the Huguenots. Steven
believes he can change history and save lives, but the Doctor
disagrees.This serial marks the first appearance of Jackie Lane as
companion-to-be Dodo Chaplet. It is also notable for being the first
time the lead actor (Hartnell) played a dual role as the Doctor and
the villain (the First Doctor and the Abbot of Amboise), although
unlike future instances, they never met on-screen. Although audio
recordings and production stills of the story exist, no footage of
this serial is known to have survived.The arrival of the TARDIS in
Paris, France in 1572 places its occupants, the First Doctor and
Steven, in a dangerous situation. Tensions between Protestants and
Catholics are at fever pitch in the city. Despite the danger, the
Doctor heads off alone to visit the apothecary Charles Preslin,
leaving Steven alone. Steven enters a tavern and meets Nicholas Muss,
a Huguenot. When the Doctor does not return as arranged, Steven
decides to spend the night at the home of his new friend. While Steven
and Nicholas are wandering home, they find a frightened serving girl,
Anne Chaplet. Anne is terrified because she has overheard some
Catholic guards speaking of a coming religious massacre of Huguenots
here in Paris. To protect her and her knowledge, Nicholas arranges for
Anne to go into the service of his master, Admiral Gaspard de Coligny. The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
