Doctor Who (1963) Season 10 Episode 20 Planet of the Daleks (6)
- May 12, 1973
The Doctor finds himself stranded on the planet of the Daleks, where he sets out to stop their latest plot to harness the energy of the planet's core to power a massive army. Along the way, he encounters a group of human colonists who are being held captive by the Daleks and forced to work in their mines. The Doctor must convince them to join forces with him in order to mount a successful attack on the Daleks and put an end to their plans once and for all.
As the Doctor and his companions explore the planet, they discover a secret underground city where the Daleks are storing a massive amount of weaponry and other resources. They also encounter a group of Thals, a humanoid race that has been at war with the Daleks for generations. The Thals are initially suspicious of the Doctor and his companions, but ultimately they decide to join forces in order to achieve their mutual goal of stopping the Daleks.
The Doctor and his allies face many challenges along the way, including treacherous terrain, deadly traps, and ferocious Dalek patrols. However, they also discover that the Daleks are vulnerable to extreme cold, and they are able to use this weakness to their advantage in several key battles. As the conflict escalates, the Doctor must use all of his wit and ingenuity to outsmart the Daleks and ensure the safety of the people he has sworn to protect.
Meanwhile, back on board the TARDIS, the Doctor's companion Jo Grant faces her own challenges as she tries to regain control of the ship after it is hijacked by a group of rogue Daleks. With the help of a mysterious stranger she encounters along the way, Jo must find a way to thwart the Daleks' plans and get the TARDIS back under the Doctor's control.
As the final battle approaches, the Doctor realizes that the only way to stop the Daleks once and for all is to destroy the planet's core and trigger a catastrophic explosion. With the help of his allies, the Doctor is able to set his plan in motion, but he quickly realizes that the explosion may have unforeseen consequences for the planet and its inhabitants.
In the end, the Doctor must make a difficult decision about the fate of the planet and its people. With the help of his companions and his own boundless courage and determination, he is able to face the Daleks and emerge victorious, but at a significant cost. As he sets out for his next adventure, the Doctor knows that the memory of the Planet of the Daleks will stay with him forever, a permanent reminder of the perils and possibilities of time and space travel.
