The Doctor soon discovers that the plant is connected to another time, another place. Stranded with Jo, the Brigadier and Benton on a distant planet, the Doctor discovers the terrible truth behind Breathe Industries' new technology. His oldest enemies, the Daleks.

Notes
- This marks the second appearance of the Daleks in The Third Doctor Adventures, after The Conquest of Far in Volume Three.
- Producer David Richardson gave Guy Adams a brief to write a story in which the UNIT team battle the Daleks. Adams' original script involved the team being sent back in time through Earth's history. Richardson felt it lacked enough "new" elements and suggested it be set in space instead. (BFX: Poison of the Daleks)
- The stories in the box set were recorded on 10 September and 12-15 November 2019 at Moat Studios. Jon Culshaw's lines were recorded in one day, as he was busy on tour at the time. (BFX: Poison of the Daleks)
- Sound effects from Dr. Who and the Daleks are used for the doors in the Dalek city.
