'The Kidnappers' Story Code '9627' by William Welch

The present: a silver-skinned man in a space-suit suddenly materialises in the Time Tunnel control room; he identifies himself as Ott, grabs Doctor MacGregor and then promptly disappears with her. Doctor Swain obtains a set of co-ordinates from a metallic datacard dropped by the kidnapper, and so Doug and Tony are sent through the Time Tunnel in pursuit. Arriving in a strange, ethereal domain they follow a beam of light to a room full of advanced equipment presided over by a Scientist, who informs them that they are in the planetary system of the Star Canopus in the year 8433 A.D.. The Scientist has Doctor MacGregor held prisoner, and he threatens to kill her if the two time-travellers attempt to escape. Meanwhile, at Project Tic-Toc, Ott reappears and steals the Tunnel’s time/space converter, throwing the personnel into disarray. Doug and Tony learn that the Scientist is in the process of recalling subjects from the past and extracting information from them; amongst those he has abducted is Adolph Hitler, who now lies in a zombie-like state, his mind that of a vegetable. The Scientist used Doctor MacGregor as bait to lure Doug and Tony into a trap – and now they too will have their minds stripped of all their knowledge…

Cliff-hanger: Doug and Tony materialise at Khartoum in 1883, in the midst of a fierce battle between British and Arab forces. They manage to fend off an attack by two Arabs - only to be confronted by two alien androids armed with sinister weapons…
