*Sub Zero was a Third Doctor comic story published in TV Action.

Summary

The Daleks hijack an atomic submarine and launch its missiles at Sydney, Australia. They plan to establish a base in the ruins, convert the survivors into Daleks, then destroy the rest of the world!

Characters

• Third Doctor
• Lt. Davis
• Daleks

References

• The Daleks recognise the Doctor in this story.
• The Daleks can control human minds by touching a gold-coloured cube to their foreheads (an improvement over the Robomen).

Notes

• Strangely, the launch of the Daleks' atomic missile attack on Sydney only has the effect of destroying the famous Harbour Bridge.
• This is the only known Doctor Who story to begin with a typographical symbol, in this case, an asterisk, instead of an alphabetic or numeric character.

Continuity

• Sydney Harbour Bridge was apparently rebuilt, as it was seen to be whole again in TV: Journey's End.
