TEXT: 5:40pm - 6:05pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: INT. DALEK TIME MACHINE. SECOND CHAMBER FIRST DALEK: Your orders are understood? You will infiltrate and kill. DALEKS: Infiltrate and kill! (The ROBOT speaks, its voice and inflexions a perfect match of the DOCTOR'S.) ROBOT DOCTOR: Understand? Of course I understand, my dear fellow. (It gives a wave of its arm.) Don't fuss so! I am to infiltrate and kill, infiltrate and kill! [SCENE_BREAK] 2: EXT. MECHANUS. JUNGLE. TARDIS LANDING SITE (NIGHT) (A large mushroom shaped creature twitches in the jungle of Mechanus. The sounds of swamp gas bubbling can be heard. The DOCTOR, IAN - holding the DOCTOR'S machine - and BARBARA come across several of the mushroom creatures as they explore outside the TARDIS.) BARBARA: What is it, Doctor? DOCTOR: Well, I'm not sure, young lady. Is it a plant or...some kind of fungus? IAN: (Stepping forward.) Huh! A living fungoid, Doctor. DOCTOR: (Holding IAN back with his stick.) Yes, I think this is the moment when discretion is the better part of valour. Let's get back into the ship. (They turn round. A fungoid now stands between them and the ship.) DOCTOR: How did that get there? BARBARA: They're moving. They're closing in on us! (IAN hits one of the creatures on the cup as the DOCTOR hits another with his stick. IAN quickly withdraws his hand.) IAN: It stings! (Suddenly, they are all bathed in bright spotlights. The fungoids twitch and shiver in alarm.) DOCTOR: Well, our friends here obviously don't like the light, hmm? BARBARA: Well, thank goodness for that. DOC
SUMMARY:
The travellers learn from the Time-Space Visualiser taken from theMoroks' museum that Daleks equipped with their own time machine are on their trail with orders to exterminate them. They flee in the TARDIS. The chase begins on the desert planet Aridius and takes in a number of stopping-off points, including a spooky haunted house which is actually a futuristic fun-fair attraction. Eventually both time machines arrive on the jungle planet Mechanus, where the Daleks try to infiltrate and kill the Doctor's party with a robotic double of him. The travellers are taken prisoner by the Mechonoids - robots sent some fifty years earlier to prepare landing sites for human colonists who never arrived - and meet Steven Taylor, a stranded astronaut who has been the Mechonoids' captive for the past two years. The Daleks and the Mechonoids engage in a fierce battle which ends in their mutual destruction. The Doctor's party seizes this opportunity to escape. The Doctor reluctantly helps Ian and Barbara to use the Daleks' time machine to return home.
