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
- The Doctor - David Warner
- Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart - Nicholas Courtney
- Davros - Terry Molloy
- The Daleks - Nicholas Briggs
- Nadel - Amy Pemberton
- Gillen - Sarah Douglas
- Delt - Jeremy James
- Toloc - Christopher Heywood
- The Quatch - Jeremy James & Jason Haigh-Ellery
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 mobilise several saucers to attack the Quatch.
- The Dalek's gunsticks are detachable and can fire independently 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.
Continuity
- Masters of War is the sequel to BFDWU: Sympathy for the Devil.
- The Doctor's absence from the events of DW: Genesis of the Daleks meant the Daleks abandoned their creator instead of taking the chance to exterminate him. The Daleks featured in DW: The Daleks are retroactively made out to be a second batch, programmed with feelings of mercy and pity to ensure loyalty. All other Dalek stories are said to be caused by the original Daleks, here called Renegade Daleks.
- The Brigadier fought three Daleks on Earth in 1972, seemingly a reference to an alternative version of the events of DW: Day of the Daleks.
- The Doctor mentions having met the Daleks several times previously. These encounters were depicted DW: The Daleks, DW: The Dalek Invasion of Earth, DW: The Chase, DW: The Daleks' Master Plan, DW: The Power of the Daleks, DW: The Evil of the Daleks and CC: Fear of the Daleks as this Doctor's timeline diverged following the events of DW: The War Games.
