 THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS.   Written by David Whittaker.   7 episodes.
                           20th May - 1st July 1967.
                         
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and introducing Victoria Waterfield.

   The Doctor and Jamie are following the TARDIS, which has been stolen
 from Gatwick and is being driven off in a lorry. They follow it to an
 antique shop owned by Edward Waterfield. Waterfield tells his assistant
 Perry to arrange for the Doctor and Jamie to come to the shop at 10pm.
   Kennedy, a shady associate of Wterfield is curious about Waterfield's
 secret room which is hidden behind a bookcase, thinking that he is keeping
 valuables in there. He enters the room and finds a strange contraption.
 Slowly, a Dalek begins to appear and it kills Kennedy before vanishing.
   The Doctor and Jamie arrive at the shop early and find a host of
 antiques which are genuine but are also new. The Doctor suspects that
 Waterfield has access to a time machine. Waterfield's assistant Perry
 appears and the three of them find Kennedy's body. When Perry goes to fetch
 the police, the Doctor and Jamie trigger a gas trap and awake in a large
 country house in 1866.
   Waterfield has been forced to kidnap them by the people who hold his
 daughter prisoner. The house belongs to Theodore Maxtible who, with
 Waterfield, has been experimenting with time travel using mirrors charged
 with static. This experiment has opened the house to the Daleks who are
 behind a scheme to try to determine the Human Factor, the elements which
 have allowed the humans to beat them in the past. They need the Doctor to
 experiment with Jamie but he is kidnapped just as the test is due to begin.
   Jamie has been taken by an associate of Arthur Terrall, Victoria Water-
 fields' fiance. Terrall is about to return Jamie to the house when the
 Doctor arrives.
   The Daleks observe Maxtible testing the strength of Kemel, a mute
 wrestler who has been employed to face Jamie in the experiment. The Doctor
 makes Jamie angry and goads him into attempting to rescue Victoria from
 the south wing of the house. Jamie encounters Kemel and saves him from
 falling through a window. Later Kemel returns the favour and the two of
 them team up to rescue the girl.
   The Doctor has defined the Factor and uses it on three test Daleks,
 who display a child-like innocence and engage the Doctor in a game of
 trains! Kemel meanwhile has been kidnapped by the Daleks and taken to
 Skaro along with Maxtible and Victoria.
   A bomb has been planted in Maxtible's house but Waterfield alerts
 the Doctor and he, Jamie and Waterfield enter the time cabinet and travel
 to Skaro. The trio make their way into the Dalek control room where they
 encounter a huge Emperor Dalek. The Emperor says that the Doctor's
 experiments have shown them their strengths and the Dalek Factor must be
 spread through history by the Doctor using his TARDIS.
   The Daleks have fed Maxtible a story about being able to turn metal
 into gold and that is why he is helping them. They infect Maxtible with
 the Dalek Factor and he hypnotises the Doctor into following him into an
 archway which makes him a mental Dalek. The Emperor expresses concern as
 the "Humanised" Daleks have begun questioning orders. The Doctor suggests
 sending all the Daleks through the arch and this "Humanises" them.
   Waterfield gives his life to block a shot aimed at the Doctor and they
 all escape into the tunnels where Maxtible throws Kemel into an abyss.
 Maxtible returns to the ruins of the burning city, where the two factions
 are fighting a vicious war which the Doctor describes as "The Final End."
   This was the last Dalek story until Jon Pertwee's era. Terry Nation
 took his creations to America to try to launch them in their own series, a
 venture which failed. It is another story "lost" but available on BBC
 Audio.
