'THE DALEKS' MASTER PLAN' AT 60: NO TIME TO DIE!

The terrifying Time Destructor at work! Superb art by Daryl Joyce.

So near, yet so far to his beloved TARDIS, as Sara Kingdom, herself aging rapidly, valiantly tries to aid the frail Doctor before herself collapsing and withering to dust. Could death have finally come to our time travelling hero with the activation of the seemingly out of control Time Destructor weapon? Thankfully not, rescued by Stephen caught in an enveloping sandstorm, but it's a close run thing before the seemingly indestructible weapon created by the Daleks ultimately burns itself out, in the chilling finale to the epic The Daleks' Master Plan.

Visual/script recreation of the story's finale scene...

"What a waste. What a terrible waste..." the frail Doctor remarks amidst the arid. dead surroundings, as he and Stephen further remember the terror and tragedy of their current battle with the Daleks...  


A potential factor in the Doctor's latest regeneration as his body ages rapidly from the effects of the activated Time Destructor.



Rehearsal shot of the scene where Steven sees the final remnants of the disintegrated Sara Kingdom and fails to destroy the Time Destructor device.

As Steven rescues the Doctor, a slow moving Dalek patrol is soon destroyed.


Rehearsing the Dalek death scenes and the discovery of a unique Dalek embryo survivor.
