Patrick Troughton plays a double role, as both the second Doctor and the ruthless Salamander, in this six-part adventure of political intrigue from 1967. The TARDIS arrives in a futuristic Australia, where the genius Salamander has found a way to end starvation by harnessing the sun's energy and preventing natural disasters on a global scale. But there are those who believe Salamander's office is moving towards dictatorship. One such person is Giles Kent, and he is immediately struck by the Doctor's remarkable likeness to the great man. The Doctor and his companions infiltrate Salamander's top secret research station and uncover a web of lies on a massive scale. Unless the wholesale deception can be revealed, global war looks set to break out...

Story #40 - The weak story in season five,
By
This review is from: Doctor Who: Enemy of the World (Audio CD)
Another six part story in which only a single episode still exists in the BBC video vault (episode 3). This story is noteworthy for several reasons: 1. Patrick Troughton not only plays The Doctor but also the villian Salamander. 2. Barry Letts who directs this story would go on to produce most of the Third Doctor stories in the early '70's. 3. Patrick's son David makes his first appearence in Doctor Who.
As far as the story itself, it takes place in Earth's future in the 21st Century with the evil Salamander controling the United Zones Organisation who looks exactly like, yeah, you guessed it, The Doctor. While I like alot of the ideas in here like the whole One World Order concept, some of it is just too slow in the middle. Frazer Hines does a good job of narrating.
