The [[TARDIS]] materialises in the [[Churchill War Rooms|Cabinet War Rooms]] during [[World War II]], in response to [[Winston Churchill]]'s call for help at the end of [[The Beast Below]]. [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] is greeted by the Prime Minister, who the Doctor recounts past experiences with, revealing to [[Amelia Pond|Amy]] that they are friends. They soon learn that they have arrived one month after Churchill called, due to the new TARDIS still being rather innaccurate. When a Luftwaffe squadron approaches [[London]], Churchill takes the Doctor and Amy to the roof in order to show them his latest weapon. As the squadron of Stukas comes into view over [[The Blitz|Blitz]]-torn London, they are shot down by energy weapons with amazing precision by the "Ironsides". Professor [[Edwin Bracewell]], the man in charge of the "Ironside" project, reveals at the Doctor's request a camouflaged, Union Flag-wearing and obedient [[Dalek]].

Although the Doctor says they are alien, the Professor insists that he invented the "Ironsides", and that they are docile, offering to help their human colleagues and serving them cups of [[tea]]. Churchill defends them, thinking of the victories he could have. The Doctor tries to get Amy to tell Churchill about how the Daleks [[The Stolen Earth|invaded Earth]], but Amy has no recollection of any planets in the sky or the Dalek invasion, with no reason why she would have missed them. | Although the Doctor says they are alien, the Professor insists that he invented the "Ironsides", and that they are docile, offering to help their human colleagues and serving them cups of [[tea]].

The Doctor runs to the TARDIS, telling Amy to stay behind as it is too dangerous. He then materialises in the Dalek ship. The Doctor pretends to be brandishing a TARDIS self-destruct control (a [[Jammy Dodger]] biscuit), so the the Daleks do not exterminate him. The Daleks reveal that one ship survived the destruction of the Dalek race during the [[War in the Medusa Cascade]], and that it went after the last remaining Progenitor device. The Doctor figures out that they built Professor Bracewell because the Progenitor Device did not recognise them as Dalek. If the Daleks became part of the army, Winston Churchill would lure The Doctor in, and the Doctor would confirm them as Daleks. The Progenitor accepted this as proof, because The Doctor is the Daleks' greatest enemy. | The Doctor runs to the TARDIS, telling Amy to stay behind as it is too dangerous.

[[File:Dalek.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The leader of the New Dalek race]]The Daleks then tell the Doctor to leave, or they will destroy London. The Doctor says they do not have that power. The Daleks then fire a ray turning all of London's lights on, making them an easy target to the incoming Luftwaffe bombers, and rendering London's blackout efforts ineffective. Then the Progenitor completes its process, and creates a "[[Dalek_variants#New_Paradigm_Daleks|new paradigm]]" consisting of five "pure" Daleks, larger, more imposing, and presumably more powerful than their antecendents, which disintegrate the original Daleks, who willingly offer themselves for extermination. In the Cabinet War Rooms, Amy and Churchill realise they can use Professor Bracewell to fight back against the Daleks. Stopping him from committing suicide, they convince him to use [[Gravity Bubble|anti-gravity technology]] on adapted [[Supermarine Spitfire|Spitfires]] help them attack the Dalek ship in the Earth's orbit, equipped with Dalek laser cannons. The Daleks discover the Doctor has not really got a self-destruct device, just as the Spitfires begin their attack. The Spitfires destroy the Dalek transmitter, assisted by the Doctor. The Daleks then tell the Doctor to stop the attack on their ship or they will destroy the Earth using an "[[Oblivion Continuum]]" bomb concealed inside Professor Bracewell.

The Doctor hurries back to Earth, in order to stop the detonation but leaving the Daleks to escape. He reveals the bomb inside Bracewell, realising that the only way to stop it exploding is to convince Bracewell that he is a human, not a bomb. He tries to remind the Professor of all his memories and how they hurt, but he cannot seem to stop the countdown. As the Oblivion Continuum approaches detonation, Amy steps in and asks him if he has "ever fancied someone [he] shouldn't". While dwelling on this, the countdown retreats to zero, cancelling the detonation. The Doctor immediately dashes to stop the Daleks, but he is told by the Professor that they have escaped. For a few moments, he feels that he has lost, but Amy reminds him that he saved the Earth. | The Doctor hurries back to Earth, in order to stop the detonation but leaving the Daleks to escape.
