STORY:
The TARDIS is caught in a time corridor, and the Doctor is surprised to find that the destination is on twentieth century Earth.
There they find Stein who has escaped in the timne corridor from a Dalek craft in the future.
In the future, under the command of Commander Lytton, the Daleks have boarded a space prison craft to rescue their leader
Davros. The Daleks need Davros's help to find an antidote for the Movellan virus.
The Daleks have a plan to create replicas of the Doctor and his companions and use them to assassinate the Gallifreyan High
Council. Stein himself his a replica working for the Daleks, although the Doctor manages to make him swicth allegience.
Davros plans to regain control of the Daleks, and his Daleks and the original Daleks have a battle, and many other lives are
lost. On the prinson ship, which is still docked with the Daleks craft, Stein activates the self destruct, taking out the
Dalek craft.
On Earth the Doctor manages to destroy the Daleks that have emerged through the time corridor with samples of the Movellan's
virus. Tegan, sickened by the loss of life, decides to part company with the Doctor and Turlough.
BLOOPERS:
Episode 1: Somebody accidentally omitted to credit Leslie Grantham.
Episode 2: As Mercer and Stien escort the Doctor to confront Davros, watch the wall behind them as the door slides shut.
The "wall" is a semi-transparent screen. You can clearly see the silhouette of a stagehand push the door shut, straighten up,
and walk off.
Episode 2: Somebody forgot to include a picture of Leela amongst all the other companions in the mind-probe sequence.
Episode 2: When Tegan finds the canisters, she mentions how light they are and tosses them about. However, when they
arrive on the Dalek ship it takes two troopers to pick one up.
Episode 2?: In one of the scenes where the Doctor is strapped to a mind probe, there is another body in the background
next to Tegan and Turlough. (Supposedly a corpse.) But keep an eye on its hand, and you'll see it moving.
