 COMPANIONS:- Ian, Barbara, Vicki and introducing Steven Taylor.

   The Doctor is using his Time/Space Visualiser, a device which allows
 him to see any event in history. He sees that the Daleks are about to
 begin persuing him in their own time machine.
   The persuit takes us to the planet Aridius, the Empire State Building,
 the Marie Celeste, a theme park containing androids of Dracula and the
 Frankenstein monster and finally the planet Mechanus.
   It is here that the travellers meet the Mechanoids and are taken
 prisoner after the Doctor defeats a robot double of himself. They meet
 Steven Taylor who is also a prisoner of the Mechanoids. The Daleks arrive
 and battle with the Mechanoids whilst the travellers escape. The two
 fighting factions destroy each other but the Dalek timeship survives. Ian
 and Barbara beg the Doctor to show them how to operate it as it works
 perfectly, unlike the TARDIS, but he refuses angrily at first. Eventually
 he relents and choked with emotion he says goodbye.
   The Mechanoids were to be the next big thing after the Daleks but they
 never took off and didn't appear in Dr Who again.
   THE CHASE is available in a BBC Video 30th Anniversary presentation tin
 with a Sylvester McCoy story, REMEMBRANCE OF THE DALEKS. It is due to be
 released seperately in 1995.
