TUNNEL (IAN'S grip on the rock is reduced to his fingers only as the weight of ANTODUS pulls him nearer the edge.) (His grip starts to slip.) (GANATUS appears from around the cleft and tries to grab at IAN'S sleeve.) GANATUS: I daren't let go with my other hand. IAN: (Shouts.) Antodus! Get a grip on the rock-face.

He and GANATUS hear the fast receding scream and the sound of him hitting the water below.
SUMMARY:
The TARDIS has brought the travellers to the planet Skaro where they meet two indigenous races - the Daleks, malicious mutant creatures encased in armoured travel machines, and the Thals, beautiful humanoids with pacifist principles. They convince the Thals of the need to fight for their own survival. Joining forces with them and braving Skaro's many dangers, they launch a two-pronged attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks are all killed when, during the course of the fighting, their power supply is cut off.
