Story No. 30
The Power of the Daleks
Story: Ben and Polly are at odds trying to decide
if the new, younger, dark-haired man in the TARDIS with
them could really still be the Doctor....
Having landed on the planet Vulcan, the trio soon discovers
a human colony with a murder mystery to be solved. What soon
becomes even more worrying are the colony's robotic servants,
reactivated survivors of a crashed alien ship who
repeatedly chant, "I am your servant." Have these Daleks
malfunctioned severely, or do they have some insidious
long-term reason for their strange behaviour?

in the year 2070, discovering an international

Story No. 34
The Macra Terror
|
Story: Ben and Polly are pleased to enjoy the good life
and holiday pampering offered to them by an idyllic society
on a colonized planet in the future, but the Doctor and Jamie
are more skeptical. Why are those who protest sent to
a mental correction center? What exactly is the "hard work" that
the colony's inhabitants so joyfully put their hearts and souls
into? What is their refined gas used for, if not for heating
or fuel? Is it true that giant crab-like creatures lurk and crawl
through the streets at night? Is it just colony propaganda that
there are no such things as "Macra"?
