TRAVELLING with Dr Who is a hazardous business. Not only is the means of transport a rather unprepossessing sort of box, but his passengers never know whether they are going to land on earth or a planet, in the year 200,000 B.C. or at some unknown date in the future. In "The Roof of the World," the first episode of a further series of Dr Who (CHTV-3 tonight), the four travellers find themselves in Cathay in the year 1289, where they are rescued from the unwelcome attention of the Mongol war lord, Tegana, by one Marco Polo, on his way to the court of the great Kublai Khan in Peking.   ABOVE: William Russell (left) as Ian Chesterton, one of the time travellers, and Mark Eden as Marco Polo.

Two shows with many enthusiastic followers return in new series this week, The Marriage Lines to WNTV-1 (Saturday, 9.47 p.m.) and Dr Who to CHTV-3 (Friday, 5.26). Other channels will start them later. Dr Who's new adventure is entitled Dr Who and the Reign of Terror. He and his three companions step out of the Tardis believing they have arrived back in 20th-century England. They are frustrated to discover they are in fact in France at the height of the French Revolution, and are likely candidates for the guillotine. William Hartnell again plays Dr Who.
  DR WHO's time machine has taken the eccentric scientist and his companions to France at the time of the Revolution. For Susan (Carol Ann Ford, right), and Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) it means a journey toward the guillotine. (Read TV 3.)
