Return of the Daleks was a TV Comic story featuring the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith.

Summary[]

The Doctor becomes involved in a plot of the Daleks to replicate his TARDIS, with the help of Shazar, a Half-Time Lord.

Characters[]

References[]

Daleks use galactic seconds, galactic days and galactic weeks.

Notes[]

Controversially, this story refers to the home planet of the Time Lords as Jewel, as opposed to the name Gallifrey that was previously established in The Time Warrior.

Continuity[]

All three of the Time Lords who appear previously appeared in TV: The Three Doctors.
The Chief Dalek's dome resembles the Dalek Supreme in TV: Planet of the Daleks.
A Dalek would be inside the TARDIS again in TV: The Parting of the Ways.
The Doctor left Gallifrey because he was curious. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
