Susan,
Alydon and I, along with our team finally reached the Dalek city. Using my binocular spectacles, I could see a
great amount of activity and determined that the Daleks are definitely planning
something. I organized the Thals about the city with light refraction devices
and we were able to interfere with the Daleks’ audio and television waves.
Susan then
found the source of their static electricity, which I then short-circuited with
the TARDIS key. Dear, dear, dear, this certainly agitated them. It just shows
what a few simple tools and a superior brain can do.
Unfortunately,
we were soon surrounded by a group of Daleks, who informed us we’d merely
destroyed their videoscope and put one of their lifts out of use. I told them
they were responsible for the death of the Thal leader in their earlier ambush
and would be responsible for more deaths unless they helped these people.
Their response
was chilling: Their only interest in the Thals is in their total extermination.
The Daleks had
conducted experiments with the anti-radiation drugs we left behind and found
they were poison to them. They need radiation now just as we and the
Thals need air. They now intend to bombard the atmosphere with radiation to make the planet safe for only the Daleks. It is
sheer murder. I must find a way to stop these mad creatures. But how?
Based upon the teleplay by Terry
Nation, first broadcast on BBC 25th January, 1964
