The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story): Difference between revisions

A man staggers towards the [[River Thames]], wearing ragged clothes and a strange metal helmet. He screams, tearing the straps off the helmet, walks into the river, and drowns himself. [[Kew Railway Bridge|Near]] the same spot, the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialises. The Doctor cannot see where they have landed but it appears to have a similar atmosphere to Earth. When they leave the TARDIS it is clear that they have landed in London, as the view across the Thames is of [[Butler's Wharf]]. [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] are delighted they have returned home at last, but it is a curiously silent and deserted London. The Doctor is concerned about the decay they see around them and wonders what year it is, fearing that it is nowhere near Ian and Barbara's time. [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] tries to look over a wall, but slips and twists her ankle. The force of her fall causes the bridge under which the TARDIS has materialised to collapse, burying the TARDIS and blocking the travellers' access to it.
