"Those who control the [[Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] have interfered with too many of our plans. They are to be destroyed. If necessary, the assassination group will pursue them through all eternity. Exterminate them!" | |||
[[First Doctor|The Doctor]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] and [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] had faced - and narrowly defeated - the [[Daleks]] twice before. They had known that there was always the possibility that the Daleks would win. But the reaches of time and space had always seemed so safe - there was always the chance that if they were being overwhelmed, they could flee. | |||
But now, the Daleks can track them through all of time and space. They try to shake off their attackers by making a series of random landings, but this is a chase to the death ... | |||
Doctor Who - The Chase, written by [[Terry Nation]], the creator of the Daleks, was first broadcast in [[1965]], with [[William Hartnell]] playing the role of the Doctor. This adaptation is by [[John Peel]], who is also the author of [[The Gallifrey Chronicles]], the definitive history of the Doctor's home planet and its people. | |||
Doctor Who - The Chase is available as a [[BBC Video]]. | |||
