The TARDIS at last returns to London but it is over 100 years later than
when Ian and Barbara left. The city is strangely quiet and in a dilapidated
state with signs warning people not to dump bodies in the river. The TARDIS
is buried under a fall of rubble and the travellers find themselves in the
hands of zombie-like Robomen. As Ian makes a run for it, a Dalek emerges
from the Thames.
The Daleks plan to replace the Earth's core with a drive system, allowing
them to pilot the planet to any point in space and killing the world's
population at the same time.
The Doctor and company join up with an underground resistance movement
and ultimately use the Daleks own bomb to defeat them. As the Doctor
prepares the TARDIS for take off, he notices that Susan is torn between
staying with David Campbell, a resistance leader and going with him and the
others. He makes the decision for her, closing the TARDIS door before
saying his goodbyes via the TARDIS scanner.
