COMPANIONS:- Ian, Barbara and Susan
The TARDIS lands on a barren planet, in the midst of a petrified jungle.
The Doctor concludes that the devastation is the result of neutronic war.
Susan sees a city in the far distance but Ian and Barbara are reluctant to
investigate. The Doctor tells them that the TARDIS fluid link needs topping
up with mercury before they can leave and that they'll have to go to the
city to get some. This later turns out to be a lie.
The travellers make their way to the city, splitting up to investigate.
Barbara is menaced by a strange creature and is taken captive. The others
enter the city in a group to look for her and are also taken prisoner, Ian
is shot in the legs whilst trying to escape.
In their cell the crew begin to feel the effects of radiation and the
Daleks decide to send Susan back to the TARDIS for drugs. Susan meets a
native of the planet, a handsome, blonde man who gives her two batches of
drugs. He also tells her that his tribe, the Thals, are starving and need
help. When Susan returns to the city the Daleks find both supplies but
uncharacteristically allow Susan to help the others, they also agree to
provide the Thals with food but lay a trap in which a Thal leader is
killed. The travellers escape with news of a Dalek plot.
After finding the drug to be ineffective when used on Daleks, they
decide to explode a massive neutron bomb to destroy the Thals and allow
them to leave the city. The Daleks thrive on radiation.
Meanwhile, the Doctor persuades the pacifist Thals to attack the city
before they are wiped out. The Dalek control centre is destroyed, cutting
off the Daleks source of power (static electricity) and killing them.
The story is available as a BBC Video twin pack.
