Something is afoot in the lonely Cornish village of Merrymaid Bay. Rumours of dead men working in the tin mines have sent a chill through the community, and it's up to the Doctor and Charley to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Can the legends of the Bucca that haunts the mines be true? And just what awesome power do the Doctor's greatest enemies - the Daleks! - threaten to unleash upon the universe?
Johnson also makes note that some of the regular Daleks featured on the cover are "Dalek Goons", which was a production term used for Daleks featured in Planet of the Daleks that were made from cheaper materials and less prominent compared to the "Hero Dalek" props. This would make a rare instance of a production term being adopted into licensed media.
Driller Dalek closer look.
The Driller Dalek is a variant of the Special Weapons Dalek featured in previous television stories, but with a large tricone drill in place of the traditional cannon. It also features tracks for movement instead of the regular Dalek fender, a design trait previously seen on the Berserker Dalek, also rendered by Johnson.[3]
Continuity[]
The Doctor mentions having met the smuggler Captain Pike on a previous adventure in Cornwall. (TV: The Smugglers)
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek audio story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.
Because of the ubiquity of this race, no attempt will be made here to list every appearance in every medium. Instead, we focus on audio appearances here, except for Dalek Empire, which has its own template, and invite you to explore a complete list of appearances elsewhere.
