The Doctor begins to describe [[London]] 1963 as "the coolest place in the [[Mutter's Spiral|the galaxy]]": [[the Kinks]], [[Sean Connery]] as [[James Bond]], the Beatles' first two albums, [[Mary Quant]]... Landing near [[Nelson's Column]], they find a devastated city. Someone or something has changed [[time]]. | ||
The pair see a woman, [[Sylvia (City of the Daleks)|Sylvia]], running from a [[Dalek]], who proclaims her to be the last surviving human being. She detonates some [[dynamite]], temporarily incapacitating the Dalek, and before fleeing into the [[London Underground|Underground]] below through a [[manhole]]. The Doctor and Amy decide to follow her and sneak past the remaining Dalek drones to push a wrecked [[taxi]] into a barricade barring an Underground entrance. | The pair see a woman, [[Sylvia (City of the Daleks)|Sylvia]], running from a [[Dalek]], who proclaims her to be the last surviving human being.

The Doctor and Amy appear in the ruined Supreme Council Chamber. They have [[time travel|travelled back in time]] to a point in which the city is shattered by the [[Last Great Time War]] and not yet rebuilt. The Doctor says that this is where the [[temporal coordinates]] he saw earlier led to. They set a trap for the Daleks who have been sent by the Emperor to pursue them and then go to the [[visualiser room]]. | The Doctor and Amy appear in the ruined Supreme Council Chamber.

In the visualiser room, the Doctor removes the device in the [[visualiser eye]] that is connected to all Dalek vision. He sends Amy to find a [[gunstick|Dalek gun]] and a [[Dalek eyestalk]] in the old facility so that he can use the pieces to construct a device which will limit Dalek vision. Amy is beginning to fade in and out of existence again, but this temporary invisibility proves to be an advantage. She evades patrols and [[Varga plant]]s to get the pieces and returns to the Doctor, who assembles the device. He says if they can connect it to the old Emperor's pedestal, they can boost the range and blind all the attacking Daleks. | In the visualiser room, the Doctor removes the device in the [[visualiser eye]] that is connected to all Dalek vision.
