While defending herself, along with the rest of the TARDIS crew, against the Daleks, Barbara Wright thought to make mud from Susan's shoe, and blinded a Dalek's eyestalk with it. She described it as "very sticky and very nasty". This trick enabled Ian Chesterton to get inside that Dalek, to pretend to be one of them, allowing for their eventual escape. (TV: "The Escape" [+]Part of The Daleks, Loading...{"namedep":"The Escape (3)","1":"The Daleks (TV story)"}) Later, on the way back into the Dalek City, a swamp's uneven ground alternated between rock and thick mud.
