I can't think of any other original series stories like that. (Maybe "The King's Demons" - can't remember - did anyone die in that?) Didn't some guy get shot by a crossbow?

Castrovalva, and the Three Doctors, are stories in which no one dies, as far as I can remember ... unless you count the people in the block transfer computation who weren't real anyway.

Of course you have to count them! They achieved sentience and rebelled against their creator, The Master! And yes, the messenger is shot and dies (off screen, I think) in Demons.
So are we saying the only stories in which no-one dies at all are Fury and The Three Doctors? (Add The Empty Child.) What about The Celestial Toymaker? Although there's some debate between Stephen and Dodo about whether the toys are real people who've been captured.
And what about stories where everybody pegs it excepting the regulars. Only Horror of Fang Rock comes immediately to mind…

Didn't several UNIT soldiers get zapped in "The Three Doctors"? Or... if they were instead transported by the gell guards to Omega's world - didn't they eventually die when Omega and his world were toasted by Trout's recorder...?

So far the only stories in which no on dies:
Edge of Destruction, the Savages, Fury form the Deep, The Three Doctors ...
And I think it's well implied that since that poacher Mr. Ottis (sp?) made it back safely after the destruction of Omega's universe, then the other UNIT soldiers must have as well.
And if you're into ones in which everybody dies ... well, excepting for two soldiers, Ace's mum (as a baby), and Ace's grandmother, you can count "The Curse of Fenric". Also, for slaughter on a grand scale, from the new series there's "Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways".

No one dies in Terminus (or maybe some offscreen Lazars do), and no one dies in Snakedance (not unless you count the Mara...)

I think this was just before tomb came back. I cant be a hundred percent sure though as it was a few years back now. Its probably BS anyway, like I stated, but just in case..............
