TEXT: 5:40pm - 6:05pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: EXT. ARIDIUS (NIGHT) (The DALEKS fire on the ship as it dematerialises.) FOURTH DALEK: Cease firing. They have escaped. THIRD DALEK: Final termination is inevitable. FOURTH DALEK: Eradicate! THIRD DALEK: Obliterate! FOURTH DALEK: Annihilate! SECOND DALEK: We will embark in our time machine at once. The Dalek supreme has ordered they are to be pursued through all eternity! [SCENE_BREAK] 2: INT. TARDIS. CONSOLE ROOM (VICKI runs up to BARBARA and dances round with her excitedly.) VICKI: We did it! We did it! (They laugh. The DOCTOR crosses over to the console from the fault locator wall.) DOCTOR: Yes young lady, a very good thing we did. We might not you know. BARBARA: Oh, come on, Doctor. You weren't exactly bursting with confidence when the Aridians held us prisoner. DOCTOR: A momentary qualm, a momentary qualm. Nothing more, nothing more. (IAN walks up with a cloth to his still sore head.) IAN: Yes, I had a qualm or two myself. DOCTOR: (Sitting down.) Yes, quite so, oh.. IAN: Hey, I wonder how those Mire Beasts are enjoying that Dalek, eh? Bit gritty. DOCTOR: Oh, I don't know, I should think a little, er, Pate de Dalek a la Mire Beast might be rather palatable! (IAN laughs.) VICKI: Oh Doctor! DOCTOR: Well, we can always drop you off to find out, hmm? IAN: Thank you very much! VICKI: We've just escaped from those things. We don't want to be sent back there. DOCTOR: Ah and I don't think we shall run into them
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.
