Publisher's summary

Hurrah! The deadly Daleks are back! Yes, those loveable tinpot tyrants have another plan to invade our world. Maybe this time because they want to drill to the Earth’s core. Or maybe because they just feel like it.

And when those pesky pepperpots are in town, there is one thing you can be sure of. There will be non-stop high octane mayhem in store. And plenty of exterminations!

But never fear. The Doctor is on hand to sort them out. Defender of the Earth, saviour of us all. With his beautiful assistant, Evelyn Smythe, by his side, he will fight once again to uphold the beliefs of the English Empire. All hail the glorious English Empire!

Now that sounds like a jubilee worth celebrating, does it not?

• Rochester has a functioning Dalek transolar disc.
• Dalek juice is made from the secretions of the Dalek as it is tortured.
• Dalek ade is just a flavoured drink...with an image of a Dalek on the bottle.
• The Doctor and Evelyn become stuck within a temporal paradox (though not it seems a closed loop)

• If the Doctor and Evelyn hadn't arrived in 1903, then the Daleks would have invaded.

• However, the Doctor and Evelyn do land...for a moment and are ejected from the TARDIS and are stuck in 1903 during the Dalek invasion of Earth...they save the day...and are still stuck there.
• However...they also re-land in 2003 and by their actions stop the invasion before it starts in 1903.
