 * Destiny of the Daleks
 * "There's nothing you can do to stop me!"
 * The Fourth Doctor gets a double shock: not only has his Time Lord companion, Romana I, got herself a new face, but the TARDIS lands on a planet the Doctor hoped never to see again: Skaro, home of the Daleks. The duo soon discover that the metal monsters have returned to their ancestral seat many thousands of years after they first abandoned it to wage war on the universe. What are the Daleks looking for? Why are they so afraid of the Movellans? And can Romana really go around wearing someone else's body?

Notable information

 * Cut lines from The Vampires of Venice reveal Rory Williams was born in 1986 and has a step-mother.
 * In The Eleventh Hour Rory Williams' hospital ID states it was issued in 1990 — a production error.
