The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)

The Daleks' Master Plan was the fourth story of Season 3 of Doctor Who, and at twelve episodes, remains the longest Doctor Who story to date. New companion Katarina, only introduced in the previous serial, The Myth Makers, became the first companion to die while travelling with the Doctor, and later in the story Sara Kingdom, played by Jean Marsh, became the second. Currently, only episodes 2, 5, and 10 are known to exist.

Synopsis
In the year 4000, the Daleks conspire to conquer the Solar System. Their scheme involves treachery at the highest levels, and a weapon capable of destroying the very fabric of time. Only the Doctor and his friends have the means to prevent catastrophe — and there is no guarantee they will escape with their lives...

The Nightmare Begins (1)
Some six months after the events of Mission to the Unknown, the Doctor's TARDIS arrives on the planet Kembel, and the Doctor leaves the TARDIS to try and find medical aid for the wounded Steven, leaving him with the Trojan servant girl Katarina. Meanwhile, two Space Agents, Bret Vyon and the injured Kert Gantry, are also on the planet trying to find out what happened to their agent, Marc Cory. Eventually Gantry tells Vyon to go on without him, as he will slow Vyon down. Seconds after Vyon leaves, a Dalek finds Gantry and kills him. Vyon then spots the Doctor leaving the TARDIS, and takes the key from him at gunpoint before knocking him out. Eventually finding the TARDIS, Vyon demands that the occupants take him off the planet, but Katarina barely understands what's going on, much less how to work the ship. Steven then briefly recovers and knocks Vyon out after seeing him threaten Katarina. The Doctor returns and places Vyon in a restraining chair, then goes back outside. On Earth, Mavic Chen, Guardian of the Solar System, announces to the people that he will be going on a holiday. However, in reality he is joining the alliance that has been formed by the Daleks, and arrives on the planet Kembel soon afterwards. Seeing Chen's spaceship (a "Spar") arrive, the Doctor returns to the TARDIS, only to find it surrounded by Daleks.

Day of Armageddon (2)
Katarina had released Vyon, who cured Steven with some field medicine, and they meet up with the Doctor soon after, just as the Daleks set fire to the jungle in order to drive out any further intruders. While the alliance prepares for a meeting of its leaders, Chen and another leader, Zephon, watch the jungle burn. Chen goes to the meeting, but Zephon refuses to go with him, saying that he will go when he feels like it. The Doctor and his companions infiltrate the city, and spot Zephon going to the meeting. They knock Zephon out, tie him up, dress the Doctor up in Zephon's large cloak and send him to the meeting while the other three break into Chen's spar. Arriving at the meeting, the other leaders express irritation at the lateness of "Zephon." The meeting begins, and the Dalek Supreme reports that their ultimate weapon, the Time Destructor, is now complete. Chen reveals that he has procured a sample of the extremely rare element taranium, necessary to operate the Time Destructor. Meanwhile, the real Zephon has managed to untie himself and sounds the alarm. In the resulting confusion, the Doctor steals the taranium and flees. However, Vyon hears the alarm and prepares to take off in the spar without him.

Devil's Planet (3)
The Doctor manages to get to Chen's spar just in time for take-off. The Daleks blame Zephon for the situation, saying that his tardiness caused the Doctor and companions to find him, but Zephon defends his actions and accuses Chen of arranging to have the taranium stolen back. Chen says that Zephon's accusation is nonsensical and the Daleks agree, concluding that Zephon is the one who's responsible. Zephon tells the Daleks that two of the other leaders will also leave if he does. Finally, Zephon announces that he is leaving the alliance. He does not get the chance — a Dalek kills him as he goes to leave. On course for Earth, the Doctor reveals that he found a tape while he was in the jungle. The group plays it back, and it turns out to be from Agent Cory, whose brief statements confirm what they already know. As they near the prison planet Desperus — where convicts are simply left, without having any guards or means of escape — the Daleks use a randomiser to disable the controls of the spar. The spar crashes down towards the planet below, causing minor damage to the ship upon landing. Realising that the impact should have totally destroyed the spar, the four conclude that the Daleks want them alive and quickly begin repairing the ship. Upon seeing the landing, a group of prisoners attempts to get on-board, but the Doctor electrifies the ship entrance and the prisoners are left unconscious. A Dalek ship arrives, but misjudges its landing and suffers a damaging crash. The spar manages to take off again, and Katarina goes to check the airlock but finds a convict who managed to get onboard just before take-off. The convict, Kirksen, holds her at knifepoint.

The Traitors (4)
Kirksen threatens to kill Katarina unless the travellers take him to the nearest planet — Kembel. The group eventually decides to comply, but their decision soon proves irrelevant as Katarina opens the airlock, blowing her and Kirksen into space. Stunned, Steven suggests that she must have done it accidentally, but the Doctor thinks that it was deliberate. Upon seeing the events, the Daleks remotely destroy the pursuit ship for their failed mission, but seem satisfied that the delay caused by the crash will allow Chen enough time to get to Earth and have the trio arrested when they arrive. Arriving on Earth, the three evade detection, and go to see Vyon's old friend, Daxtar. Daxtar initially seems co-operative, but the Doctor realises he's allied with Chen when he mentions the taranium before anyone else does. Vyon quickly kills Daxtar, much to the Doctor's annoyance, but there's little time to dwell on this as Chen's security agents, led by Sara Kingdom, arrive. Vyon allows the Doctor and Steven to get away by throwing himself at Kingdom. Vyon tries to reason with her, but she kills him. Warned about the importance of the taranium by Chen, she orders Borkar, her colleague, to "shoot on sight" and "aim for the head."

Counter Plot (5)
Sara Kingdom chases the Doctor and Steven to a laboratory, where they are all accidentally caught up in a molecular dissemination experiment and are transported to the planet Mira. Chen pretends that he planned this accident, and tells the Daleks where to find the Doctor and Steven. On Mira, Kingdom (who turns out to be Vyon's sister) is forced to join forces with the Doctor and Steven as they are attacked by Visians, invisible savage creatures. The Doctor and Steven manage to convince Sara of Chen and the Daleks' true intentions, just as a Dalek ship arrives. The Daleks fend off an attack from the invisible creatures and demand that they surrender. The Doctor reluctantly announces that "the Daleks have won."

Coronas of the Sun (6)
Fortunately for the Doctor and his companions, more invisible creatures attack, allowing them to escape and steal the Dalek ship. They try to return to Earth, but the Daleks take control of the ship remotely, then use a magnetic beam to draw it to Kembel. Realising that they don't have much time, the Doctor decides to build a fake taranium core, which he can give to the Daleks while keeping the real one. Steven then gets the idea to charge up the fake core with gravitic energy, but in the process encloses himself in a force field and is left barely conscious.

Upon landing, the three negotiate with Chen (who has since returned to Kembel) to be allowed to conduct the handover of the (fake) taranium core at the TARDIS. The Daleks refuse, but Chen persuades the Daleks that they don't have anything to lose, thinking that the Doctor will be unable to stop them after the core has been handed over. The Doctor and Sara return to the TARDIS, while Steven hands over the core. The Daleks try to kill him, but the forcefield manages to protect him, though it is exhausted in the process.

After leaving Kembel, the TARDIS lands, but the Doctor warns that "the whole atmosphere is entirely poisonous."

The Feast of Steven (7)
The group has actually landed in a polluted area of 1960s England, outside a police station. They get themselves arrested, but later manage to escape. The TARDIS next lands on the set of a 1920s silent film, causing many problems for the film crew (such as the Doctor being mistaken for a cultural advisor and the lead actress nearly quitting because she thinks the director wants to replace her with Sara) before escaping. After that they have a toast to Christmas, and the Doctor wishes a happy Christmas to the viewers.

Volcano (8)
Meanwhile, back on Kembel, the fake taranium core is fitted to the Time Destructor, which is then tested on another representative, Trantis, who has proven useless to the Daleks. However, there is no effect and the fake core quickly exhausts itself, leaving Trantis totally unharmed. The Daleks accuse Chen of lying about the taranium, when Chen realises that it was the Doctor that switched the cores. They send a request for a time machine, in order to pursue the Doctor. Trantis is then killed by a Dalek. The TARDIS briefly lands back on Earth during a cricket match, then on the volcanic planet Tigus. The three travellers have been followed by the Meddling Monk, who damages the TARDIS's door lock, then mockingly informs the Doctor and companions that they are stranded on the planet for the rest of their lives. Not to be deterred, the Doctor counteracts this by using his ring, getting them back inside the TARDIS. The Monk is surprised by this, but follows the Doctor to his next destination. Meanwhile, the Daleks' time machine has arrived on Kembel. The task force leaves in it and the rest of the Daleks join the Supreme in a victory chant.

Golden Death (9)
The TARDIS arrives in ancient Egypt , at the foot of the Great Pyramid. Mavic Chen and the Daleks soon arrive in their time machine, and begin their search for the taranium. Realising that the Monk and someone else has arrived, Steven and Sara go to find out who it is while the Doctor repairs the lock; but they are arrested as looters by the guards of the Pharoah's treasures. The Monk tries to find the Doctor, but is instead found by Chen and the Daleks who offer him an ultimatum — help them find the taranium or the Daleks will kill him. Unsurprisingly, the Monk accepts. The Doctor follows the Monk for a time, discovering his TARDIS, and changing its shape into a police box. He then follows the Monk back to the Doctor's TARDIS, and after confronting him, hearing the Monk's story and plea to give in to the Daleks, he decides to deal with him. Soon, Steven and Sara escape and, looking for the Doctor, decide the TARDIS must have been moved inside the pyramid. They find it, but the Doctor is nowhere to be found. Sara spots a bandage-wrapped hand reaching out from a large box.

Escape Switch (10)
It is the Monk, wrapped up by the Doctor. Steven and Sara take him to go and find the Doctor. However, they don't get far before being caught by the Daleks and Chen, who demands the taranium. In desperation, the Monk suggests using Steven and Sara as hostages. Chen accepts this, and tells the Daleks that the Doctor will not allow the two to be killed. Chen announces over a loudspeaker that unless he hands over the taranium, Sara and Steven will be killed. The Doctor is dismayed, but has little choice but to comply. When he hands over the core, the Daleks try to kill them and the Monk but they all escape, helped by an attack by the Egyptian guards. While the guards disable some of the Daleks, most of them escape and return to their time machine with Chen. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor admits that he did not have time to build another fake, and had to hand over the real taranium. But he's stolen the Monk's directional unit — evidenced when the Monk lands on an ice planet and realises that without having any control over the direction of his TARDIS he now has little chance of ever catching the Doctor. The Doctor fits the control and takes off, but the console room is engulfed in a flash of white light.

The Abandoned Planet (11)
The directional control has burnt itself out almost instantly (due to the Monk's TARDIS being a later model than the Doctor's), but it's enough to get them back to Kembel. The three leave the TARDIS, but Sara and Steven lose the Doctor in the jungle and proceed to the city alone, led by the Doctor's Power Impulse Compass. Upon arrival they find the Dalek city deserted, and the alliance leaders imprisoned. The leaders agree to turn on the Daleks, and in exchange are released from the prison cell. They take off in their ships — apart from Chen, whose spar explodes just after take-off. Searching the jungle, they find the entrance to a second, underground city which the Daleks are now using. As they prepare to enter, Chen appears, having faked his death, and takes them prisoner. He leads them into the underground city.

The Destruction of Time (12)
They go through the underground city and Chen leads them into the control room in grandiose fashion. Thinking that he was still imprisoned in the first city, the Dalek leader announces that their alliance is over. Chen refuses to accept this, and proclaims himself the leader of the alliance. He tries to kill the Dalek leader, but his blast has no effect. The Dalek orders Chen taken outside and killed, causing Chen to flee boasting that he is immortal. He's quickly proven wrong when a Dalek patrol corners him and guns him down. Taking advantage of the distraction, the Doctor enters the control room and activates the Time Destructor. The Daleks return, but are powerless to do anything with the Doctor threatening to increase the Destructor's power. He jams a door, delaying the Daleks' pursuit. He orders Sara and Steven back to the TARDIS, but Sara refuses to go. The two flee with the Time Destructor through the jungle, but begin to rapidly age and deteriorate. The Daleks pursue them, but seem immune to the effects. The Doctor and Sara reach the TARDIS but have been aged massively by the Destructor, the two collapse and Sara disintegrates. Steven rushes outside and tries to deactivate the Destructor, but cannot do anything. As he begins to rapidly age, he tries to help the Doctor, but is ordered to get back into the TARDIS. Fortunately, when trying to deactivate the destructor he managed to reverse it, thus causing the two to revert to approximately their previous ages. The pursuing Daleks try to destroy the Destructor with their weapons but instead cause it to run uncontrollably fast, destroying the Daleks and reducing the planet to a lifeless, barely habitable wasteland. The Doctor and Steven emerge from the TARDIS some time later, the Destructor having burnt itself out. "What a terrible waste..." mutters the Doctor, remembering all the people and creatures, including friends, who have lost their lives.

Story notes

 * This story had the working titles of: The Daleks (Part IV) (meaning, the fourth Doctor Who story to feature the Daleks) and Battle Of Wits.
 * Only "Day of Armageddon" (Episode 2), "Counter Plot" (Episode 5) and "Escape Switch" (Episode 10) survive on 16mm film telerecordings.
 * As a special Christmas-themed episode, "The Feast of Steven" (Episode 7) was considered not possible to sell to other countries. Because of this, videotape masters were wiped, and no film telerecording was made for international distribution. It became the first episode of Doctor Who to be seemingly lost forever. "The Feast of Steven" was also the first episode to let one of the main characters 'break the fourth wall' with the Doctor addressing the camera: "Oh and incidentally, a happy Christmas to all of you at home."
 * Because "The Feast of Steven" was never sold abroad, it is possible – though this cannot be confirmed – that two versions of the closing scene of "Coronas of the Sun" were recorded; one bearing the closing caption "Next Episode: THE FEAST OF STEVEN" for UK transmission, and the other reading "Next Episode: VOLCANO" for overseas sale.
 * This story features the first appearance of Nicholas Courtney, a favourite of the story's director Douglas Camfield, here playing Bret Vyon. He would go on to appear as Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart in another Camfield story, The Web of Fear.
 * Nicholas Courtney and Jean Marsh later appeared in the Seventh Doctor story Battlefield.
 * Both The Daleks' Master Plan and Mission to the Unknown were the only 1960s Doctor Who stories that were offered for overseas sale but never purchased.
 * Unless one counts The Trial of a Time Lord, which can be considered four different stories, this is, to date, the longest single story in series history.

Ratings

 * The Nightmare Begins - 9.1 million viewers
 * Day Of Armageddon - 9.8 million viewers
 * Devil's Planet - 10.3 million viewers
 * The Traitors - 9.5 million viewers

Myths

 * Sara Kingdom was going to be a replacement companion for Katarina. (Not quite true. When it was realized that the character of Katarina would not work as a regular, Nation was asked to write her out as soon as he could. It doesn't appear likely that Marsh, who at the time was much in demand for film and TV appearances, would have signed on for an ongoing role.)
 * The incident at the end of the seventh episode when the Doctor looks directly into camera and proposes a toast to everyone at home was an unscripted ad lib on William Hartnell's part and outraged the production team. (This action was scripted and rehearsed. It was in fact a tradition in the sixties for scenes of this kind to be included in special Christmas editions of popular series. Besides which, if the production team had really disliked it they could simply have edited it out. As indicated above, the episode was considered "disposable" by the BBC as well.)

Filming locations

 * Ealing Television Film Studios (Stage 2, 3, 3B)
 * BBC Television Studious TC3 and TC4
 * Hammersmith Park, Shepherd's Bush, London

Production errors

 * Marc Cory's tape message, heard in Devil's Planet, is different from the one he left in Mission to the Unknown.
 * In Coronas of the Sun, when the Doctor orders Steven, from inside the TARDIS, to give up the taranium, his voice is briefly "Dalekised."
 * At the very beginning of Volcano, the grams operator accidentally plays the TARDIS background "hum" rather than the Daleks' control room sounds; the one is quickly cross-faded to the other.

Continuity

 * NA: Legacy features Mavic Chen prior to the events in this story.
 * The Monk says that he was able to bypass the dimensional control that the Doctor sabotaged in The Time Meddler.
 * Cassandra prophesied about Katarina's death in DW: The Myth Makers.
 * The Doctor is apparently aged more than 100 years by the Time Destructor which could be grounds for his regeneration in DW: The Tenth Planet. The Doctor would be artificially aged on two later occasions, in DW: Meglos and in DW: The Sound of Drums (in both of those cases, the aging was reversed).
 * The short story ST: Katarina in the Underworld tells what became of Katarina's soul after her death. It is one of the few officially licenced Doctor Who stories to deal with the concept of the afterlife.
 * The mini-episode DW: Music of the Spheres incorporates breaking the fourth wall into its plot (though for this reason its canonicity is debated).
 * The comic strip The Only Good Dalek features the Eleventh Doctor referencing his friendships with Bret and Sara on a research station conducting experiments on captured Daleks; this prompts the station's commander to comment that the Doctor's credentials are impressive but that he must have started fighting Daleks at a young age, suggesting that the story takes place within a decade or so of the Daleks' defeat here given the Eleventh Doctor's apparent youth.
