Our greatest enemies have left the planet Zeros.
They are once again in time and space.
They cannot escape.
Our time machine will soon follow them.
They will be exterminated.
Exterminated.
Doctor, can you please help me?
Have you finished, doctor?
I have a question.
Can I help you?
I have a question.
What are you reading?
Is it good?
Yes, a bit far-fetched.
Right.
I am redundant around here.
Oh, nonsense.
Come and sit down and talk to me.
I am a useless person.
Oh, Vicki.
What was it?
Oh, it was a dress for you.
What's the matter?
What's the trouble?
Out of the way, out of the way.
What's the matter?
Doctor, turn it off.
Oh, that's a big...
Are you trying to deafen us all or something?
Deafen you?
No, no, dear boy.
It's an unfortunate juxtaposition of the sonic rectifier and the lineal amplifier.
Oh, of course.
I should have known.
Doctor, what is this machine?
I've already told you, my dear.
It's a time-space visualizer.
Yes, but apart from making that dreadful noise, what does it do?
It converts neutrons of light energy into electrical impulses.
Oh, wonderful.
I've always wanted one.
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm, dear boy?
I'm sorry, Doctor, but you rattle off explanations that would have baffled Einstein,
and you expect Barbara and I to know what you're talking about.
Anyway, I will quote you Venderham's law.
Mass is absorbed by light, therefore light has mass and energy.
The energy radiated by a light neutron is equal to the energy of the mass it absorbs.
Splendid, child, splendid.
It's quite simple.
It just means that anything that ever happened anywhere in the universe is recorded in light neutrons.
I couldn't have put it better myself, child.
Doctor, you know when I left Earth, scientists were trying to invent a machine
that would convert the energy from light neutrons into electrical impulses.
That meant that you could just tune in and see any event in history.
You mean a sort of time television?
Yes, like that.
Yes, that's exactly what this is.
No, Doctor, you're kidding.
Why didn't you tell me I could have fixed it for you instead of you fiddling about with it?
Because I have already fixed it, my dear.
My dear Chesterfield, do you mind if I distract you from your cowboys and Indians?
All right.
I want to give a little demonstration.
Will you think of an event in history?
All right, I've thought of one.
Well, first the place.
Oh, Earth. That's easy.
Now the geographical location, date and time.
19th of November, 1863, the place, Pennsylvania, USA.
Good. Don't go away.
Watch.
Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln.
That's what I asked for, the Gettysburg Address.
Testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We've come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who gave their lives that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do so.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate.
We cannot consecrate.
We cannot hallow this ground.
Doctor, can I have a go? Can I? Can I please?
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, all in good time, my dear. All in good time.
Now, Barbara.
Yes, now, listen. Do you ever see anything like it in your life?
What? Here we are.
Oh, what do I do? What is it? Put it in there.
Yes, love.
You're very well, my love.
It's Queen Elizabeth I.
Who's that man? Oh, wait and see.
He's the Queen Angris I. It was only a jest.
She has graciously granted you an audience.
Oh, oh, your Majesty.
Master Shakespeare, you are aware of the concern your character of Falstaff has caused to Sir John Oldcastle.
It was so obviously he.
Yes. Well, I can explain, your Majesty.
You admit it, then?
Yes, your Majesty.
Good. Give it no more thought. We found it very amusing.
Tell me, have you any plans to write a further play on him?
No.
Oh.
No, I haven't, your Majesty.
That's great. But it does not matter. We have an idea which may be of service.
You shall write a play of Falstaff in love.
Does not that fire your imagination?
Oh, a happy idea, your Majesty. Yes.
Away with you, Will. To your bed.
Oh.
I also have an idea that you may wish to use. The history of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
I'm afraid not, sir.
Do you know the story, then?
I assure you, my lord, it would not be quite in my style.
Very well, then.
Scribbler.
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
Oh, Barbara, did you find out what you wanted to know?
I didn't really want to know anything. I just wanted to see Elizabeth's court.
But did you see the way Shakespeare looked when he thought of the Hamlet?
Yes, I did. Where are we now?
This is BBC One. Our next program is due to start in just under one minute.
Vicki, what year have you got on there? 1965?
Come on, come.
You've got a television?
Show it.
I want to watch it.
Number one, it's the fabulous, wait for it, it's the fabulous, Digno!
It's the fabulous, Digno!
Oh, Barbara.
Now you've squashed my favorite Beatles.
Vicki, I had no idea you knew about the Beatles.
Of course I know about them.
I've been to their memorial theater in Liverpool.
Well, what do you think of them, Vicki?
Well, they're marvelous, but I didn't know they played classical music.
Classical music?
Get with it, Barbara, get with it. Styles change, styles change.
I think you'd better turn it off, my dear.
Yes, we're about to materialize.
Well, everything appears to be all right, yes?
The oxygen's high, and the gravity is a little greater than that.
Oh, it's hot.
Well, it's no small wonder. Look up there, my dear.
Look, two suns moving very quickly.
I expect the days and nights are very short here.
Are we going to explore now, then?
I shouldn't think there is anything to explore.
Just miles and miles of sand.
Those strange things.
You never know.
Over that sand dune there might be a city or a space station or anything.
Charles, just like me, you know, always wants to know what's on the other side of the hill.
I'm going to find out too. Vicki, come back!
I've been a follower.
No, no, no, no, no, just here, here.
Here, you'd better take this childish magnet with you.
And watch that little green light in there.
And don't drop it, otherwise you'll get lost.
Ian!
All right, I'm coming!
We won't go any further than the ridge.
Yes, yes, yes.
Look at her.
Don't worry, I'll look after her.
Come on!
All right, Christopher Columbus, hang on.
Come on!
Guess over there.
Look at this thing.
What is it? Looks like a man, doesn't it?
Yes, it's a frozen seaweed.
Funny shape.
Funny smell.
Oh!
Ian!
Come and look at this.
Hey!
You know, this gadget of the doctor's, it really works.
Never mind that, look at this.
Huh?
What is it?
I don't know.
Oh, what an awful smell.
Well, at least it's not a pool of acid.
That makes it a change.
Look, there's more of it.
Yeah.
It's a trail.
Probably blood.
Oh, yes, it's bound to be.
Come on, let's see where it leads.
All right.
He is ingenious, this.
Oh, what an awful noise.
Yeah.
With your pardon, awful noise.
Don't mean to talk about my singing.
No, doctor, not that awful noise.
The other one, listen to it.
Hmm?
Oh, yes, yes, it sounds like the visualizer.
And it is still on.
Yes, would you mind going in and switching it off, my dear?
Okay, I've had enough sun anyway.
Yes, thank you.
Oh, awful noise indeed.
I could charm the nightingales out of the trees.
The Supreme Dalek is ready to receive your report.
The report is ready.
Doctor?
Doctor, come quickly.
Yes, all right, my dear, all right, all right.
What is it now?
This stresses me.
Can't I even relax if I...
Get at it!
Give your report.
Our time machine has been completed.
The operation will proceed at once.
The movement scanners have located the enemy time machine, TARDIS.
TARDIS!
Doctor, he said the TARDIS.
And look on their screen, that's us.
What is more important, he referred to the TARDIS as the enemy time machine.
At present, it lies in the Zagaro Desert on the planet Aridius.
We await command.
The Doctor and the three humans delayed our conquest of Earth.
Daleks cannot be defeated.
To defy Daleks is death.
They will pay for their crime.
Annihilate!
The assassination group will embark at once in our time machine.
They will pursue the humans through all eternity.
They must be destroyed.
Exterminate them!
Exterminate!
My machine can only pick up the things that happened in the past.
Then they're on their way here.
Or worse, already here.
You heard their orders.
We are to be exterminated.
But Doctor, can't we get away from them?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But Ian and the child.
Come on, we have such little time.
Oh, come on, keep going.
Yes, I have.
All of these funny things.
Yes.
Oh, so hot.
Yes.
Well, no space, City Vicky.
It's midday, I suppose.
Double.
Oh, the trail just ends.
Well, we're a long way from the Tardis now, Vicky.
Yes.
I want to get back nearly, you know.
Yes.
I hope you're missing us.
If you look at the sun through your fingers, you have 20 instead of 10.
Yes.
Oh, I'll do with a drink.
Oh, yes.
We should get back, you know.
Yeah.
It'll be dark, you know.
Look at those suns.
Just like the doctor said, they move fast.
Hard this ground, isn't it?
Yes.
Like glass.
Come on, Ian, let's go.
Yeah, all right.
Hello.
What's this?
A ring.
A ring in the sand.
No, no, the ring in the field.
What are you talking about?
What's the matter?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What's the matter?
You see, when I was very young, near where I lived, there was a field, and in this field,
there was a ring just like that, sticking out of the ground.
You see, the point was, on the other side of the hedge, there was a castle, an enormous
thing with a drawbridge.
Well, go on.
Well, we had this thing that if we pulled that ring, the drawbridge would come down
and something awful would come up.
Vicky, look around you.
Can you see a castle anywhere?
No, but for heaven's sake, something's going to happen if we pull that thing.
Well, shall I pull it or shan't I?
Yes, all right, don't...
I think I'll move it now.
Try turning it.
No, won't turn. Hold on.
Ah, Excalibur!
Come on, no castles, no drawbridges.
Back we go.
Ah!
Vicki, just check it, eh?
Yes.
Steps.
Vicki!
Ian!
Nothing.
Wrecking wind has wiped out all their tracks.
It's getting so cold here.
Come on, Doctor, let's go back to the TARDIS.
This way, dear.
No, no, no, it's that way. I remember.
I have the directional instincts of a homing pigeon. Now come along, follow me.
Hello!
Oh!
Oh, Ian, stay over here by this wall.
Oh, Ian!
Oh!
It's changed.
The whole landscape's changed.
The TARDIS is gone, there's no sign of it.
It probably got buried in that sandstorm.
But where?
All these stretches of sand look exactly alike.
Yes, well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I've got an idea. Let's have a look at the TARDIS magnet.
Oh, I'm sorry, I just remembered I gave it to Ian.
Oh, come on, come on, we can't waste time. Let's get going.
That sun will be up in a minute and we've no food, no water, no shade.
Get down, get down!
What's the matter?
Oh!
