Publisher's summary

The Doctor and his travelling companion, retired army officer Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, take a random trip in the TARDIS - and land on the planet Skaro. The Doctor helped the Thals to defeat the Daleks years ago, so he is surprised to find the Thal city under Dalek occupation. He determines to help them again, but what is the Daleks' purpose in keeping the Thals alive? Does it have anything to do with the Daleks' mythical creator, named in their teachings as Davros?

Cast

References

  • The Thousand Year War and Davros' history are different (to the regular timeline), most notably that the war was considerably shorter than a thousand years and started closer to the end. The Quatch's involvement - and the Quatch - don't seem to be caused by any difference in the Doctor's timeline.
  • The Doctor uses a sonic screwdriver at one point.
  • The Brigadier gets food from TARDIS's food machine.
  • The Quatch are from another dimension.
  • The Daleks mobilize several saucers to attack the Quatch.
  • The Dalek's gunsticks are detachable and can fire independent of the Daleks.
  • The Thals remember the Doctor. (DW: The Daleks)

Notes

  • The Daleks in this story were created by Davros to have a degree of compassion so they wouldn't exterminate him on sight and attempt a coup. This led to them developing the idea that because Daleks were superior to all other life, they had a duty to protect that life. They enslaved the Thals and made them work to strengthen them (via a process of social darwinism) and to strengthen the Daleks, thus protecting the Thals by making the Daleks stronger.
  • The Doctor has realised that he's left a lot of chaos in his wake, and according to Alistair, he is now almost desperate to make amends.
