Man, the Second Doctor is goofy fun. Lands on a beach, immediately goes for a swim and wants to make sand castles. Until the dudes in the hovercraft start shooting him. They get in a helicopter and from some markings inside can see the year is something near 2018. Troughton has a dual role in this serial, as he's also playing the man the Doctor has been mistaken for: the incredibly-similar-looking-but-with-a-different-accent-and-hair-comb, Salamander.

Part 4, what is Salamander up to? I briefly thought it was some sort of "surface dwellers vs underground people" thing where Salamander could be viewed as a hero to his own people, but it seems like he's playing them too. They seem to think there's been a nuclear war above ground or something, so they're not safe to return? But really he's just got them stuck down there causing "natural" disasters he can use to further his goals upstairs.
