One damaged Visualiser was captured by the [[Morok Empire]] following the capitulation of [[Grantanimus Five]]. ([[PROSE]]: [[The Time Lord Letters (novel)|"A Parting Gift"]]) It was then placed on a Morok [[Space Museum]] on [[Xeros]], and was eventually given to the [[First Doctor]] by [[Tor (The Space Museum)|Tor]] as a souvenir after he and his companions helped them to defeat the [[Morok]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]'') It had an instruction manual.

The Doctor finally began fixing it shortly after leaving [[Sonning]] in [[1400]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doctor's Tale (audio story)|The Doctor's Tale]]'') and spent hours working on it either side of a visit to [[57 Acacia Avenue]] in [[2004]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Every Day (short story)|Every Day]]'') After getting the Visualiser working, the Doctor and his companions used it to observe [[Queen]] [[Elizabeth I]] and [[Francis Bacon]] meeting with [[William Shakespeare]], [[Abraham Lincoln]] delivering his [[Gettysburg Address]] and [[the Beatles]] performing "[[Ticket to Ride]]". The Visualiser later showed them the [[Dalek]]s launching their [[Dalek time machine|time machine]] on a mission to exterminate them, which let them buy some time.

According to the ''[[Dalek Survival Guide]]'', this Time-Space Visualiser was actually a hoax created by a group of criminal Daleks forced to chronicle Dalek history as punishment. These prisoner Daleks noticed the Doctor using the device before being pursued by a squad of Daleks they recognised as their future selves. They knew such a machine was scientifically impossible, but in order to ensure their future freedom, they built what would serve as an apparent Time-Space Visualiser that actually displayed recordings of the Daleks' human slaves performing reenactments of the events they knew the Doctor and his companions would view. | According to the ''[[Dalek Survival Guide]]'', this Time-Space Visualiser was actually a hoax created by a group of criminal Daleks forced to chronicle Dalek history as punishment.
