1692

1692 was notable for being the year in which the Salem witch trials occurred in the colony of Massachusetts. The event was of such keen interest to the First Doctor, he was there on four separate occasions — so often that he risked creating a temporal paradox. On some of these occasions he was there with his granddaughter, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. The travellers had to deal with the moral question of wishing to change history for the benefit of individuals wrongly accused. (PDA: The Witch Hunters)
