WORLD'S END
The TARDIS materialises, and the Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan emerge beside the River Thames in a strangely silent and
decaying London. Susan accidentally causes
a girder to come crashing down, blocking
their way to the TARDIS. While Barbara
tends Susan's twisted ankle, the Doctor and
Ian venture into a warehouse, hoping to find
equipment which will shift the obstruction.
The place is neglected, and the pair find no
equipment, only a desk calendar dated 2164
— and the body of a man who has been
stabbed to death. The corpse is wearing a
metal helmet which acts like an extra ear.
While Barbara is momentarily away,
Susan is carried off by a man called Tyler.
Another ragged figure takes Barbara with
him, and the pairs soon meet up in an
underground tunnel. There, a man named
David Campbell explains that he had had to
deal with a Roboman at the warehouse.
David sets out to rescue the Doctor and Ian;
Susan and Barbara encounter the
determined, wheelchair-bound Donmun.
Returning to the TARDIS, the Doctor and
Ian see a flying saucer crossing London's
skyline. They are confronted by four grim-
looking men wearing the strange helmets
and carrying vicious whips. The pair aflempt
an escape via the river — but see a Dalek
emerging from the water before them...
THE DALEKS
The Dalek takes charge of the 'Robomen',
and the Doctor and Ian are herded to the
saucer, which has landed at Chelsea Heliport; the Doctor surmises that they have
arrived at a time prior to their previous
encounter with the Daleks on Skaro. Along
with another prisoner, Jack Craddock, the
Doctor and Ian are placed in a cell. The
Doctor's displays of defiance towards the
Daleks have brought him to the attention of
their commander, and the trio in the cell are
observed as the Doctor deduces how the cell
door can be opened. In the meantime, Craddock explains how the Daleks attacked
Earth ten years ago, weakened it by plague,
turned men into Robomen and established a
vast mine in Bedfordshire.
In the rebels' hidden shelter, Barbara and
Susan learn of the invasion from David, who
tells Susan that her friends have been taken
to the saucer. Donmun, who has developed
a bomb which may be effective against the
Daleks' casings, plans an attack on the
saucer; Barbara suggests that the rebels
could disguise themselves as Robomen and
prisoners.
When The Doctor escapes from the cell,
he is taken to be convened into a Roboman.
Tyler leads the rebels' attack; his men get on
board the saucer. The Dalek commander
orders the Roboman guarding the Doctor to
disregard the sound of the alarms:
"Commence the operation!"
DAY OF RECKONING
Together with another rebel, Baker, Tyler overpowers the Roboman guarding the
Doctor, saving him. Dortmun's bombs fail to
work, and many of the rebels are killed.
Alongside a girl named jenny, Barbara
returns to the rebel base to meet Dortmun;
Tyler abandons them, believing that the
Daleks will now destroy London. Dortmun
decides to make for another base at
Kensington's Civil Transport Museum. After
a hazardous journey, the trio reach safety.
Dortmun gives his research notes to
Barbara, sacrificing his own life to save the
girls as the Daleks arrive.
Trapped aboard the saucer when it takes
off; Ian is discovered by the robotised
Craddock. He is saved by a man called Larry
who has stowed away, intending to locate
his brother at the Bedford mines; it seems
that the Daleks are mining the Earth's
magnetic core. The two men remain in
hiding until the saucer lands.
David and Susan evade the Daleks and
get into hiding. They meet Baker, who leaves
the drugged Doctor with them; moments
later, a Dalek patrol kills Baker. The
recovering Doctor notices a bond forming
between Susan and David; he suggests they
head north. They do not realise that a Dalek
firebomb has been activated by two
Robomen close to their hiding place...
THE END OF TOMORROW
The Doctor collapses. David spots the firebomb and uses acid from Dortmun's bombs to burn through the casing and defuse it.
Leaving the Doctor behind, David and Susan
set off to find a way out of London via the
sewers. They are reunited with Tyler, and the
trio have to evade the wild alligators which
are breeding in the drains. Meanwhile,
Barbara and Jenny flee the museum in a
1950s dustcart. Smashing through a Dalek
cordon, the women jump from the cab
moments before the vehicle is destroyed by
the Dalek saucer. They continue on foot
towards Bedfordshire.
In the mining area, Ian and Larry are
hidden by a work leader, Wells, who is
arranging a meeting with Ashton, a black
marketeer. That night, their rendezvous with
the profiteer is interrupted by a beast called
the Slyther, the pet of the Black Dalek Supreme. The alien creature
attacks Ashton, and then pursues Ian
and Larry, cornering them at the top
of a mine shaft...
THE WAKING ALLY
Larry and Ian get into a mining bucket in the
shaft; the Slyther plunges down into the
darkness. The bucket then descends into the
mine where Larry finds his brother, Phil;
however, Phil has been robotised and shoots
Larry, who in turn strangles Phil with his
dying strength.
The Doctor rejoins Susan, David and Tyler
as they make their way out of London,
evading Roboman patrols. They reach the
mine, where the Doctor seeks out the reason
for the invasion.
Barbara and Jenny find refuge in a
remote cottage occupied by two women who
mend the clothes of slave workers. The
women betray the pair to the Daleks in
exchange for food. Taken to the mine,
Barbara realises that she still has Dortmun's
notes — and uses these as a ruse to get she
and Jenny taken to the Daleks' mine control area.
The Daleks' drilling has reached to within
four miles of Earth's outer core, and their
penetrative explosive device is being
prepared. Ian enters the control area and
hides in some apparatus, not realising that
this is the explosive device itself. The Dalek
Supreme announces that when the Earth's
core has been removed, it will be replaced
with a power system, enabling the Daleks to
pilot the planet anywhere in the universe.
The capsule, with Ian inside it, is moved out
over the shaft...
FLASHPOINT
Ian sabotages the capsule, causing it to jam
in the shaft. The capsule is recovered and
Ian takes his chance to escape, falling down
the shaft. Recovering in a side tunnel, he
builds a barricade in order to stall the
capsule when it is re-launched. Jenny and
Barbara confront the Dalek Supreme, but
their attempt to gain control of the
Robomen is foiled. The bomb is released
once more — and the Daleks evacuate the
control area, leaving the trapped women to
perish in half-an-hour's time.
The Doctor sends David and Susan to
destroy the Daleks' radio power mast with
Dortmun's bombs, while he and Tyler enter
the control area, releasing Jenny and
Barbara. The Daleks' power is cut off, and
the Doctor orders the Robomen to attack the
Daleks. As Robomen and slaves pour out of
the mines, Ian appears, explaining how the
bomb is jammed beneath them. The group
flee from the mine as the explosion triggers
a volcanic eruption, engulfing the Daleks'
saucers and ending the invasion.
Life returns to London, and the debris is
cleared away from the TARDIS. David asks
Susan to stay with him; although she loves
him, she refuses. But the Doctor makes her
decision for her; double-locking the ship's
doors, he bids her goodbye, urging her on in
her new life. As they watch the TARDIS
dematerialise, David tells Susan that the
Doctor knew she could never leave him. Her
key falls to the ground.
