plot synopsis
With Sir Reginald Styles, a major diplomat at the World Peace Conference due to be held at Auderley House, attacked by what he describes as a ghost, the Doctor and Jo decide to spend a night there to see if it returns. It does, and in force, as a team of rebels from the 22nd century arrive, and say Styles is responsible for a war that will take place allowing the Daleks to take over the Earth. The Doctor travels to the future, joining the freedom fighters to try and defeat the Daleks, but the aliens travel back to the 20th century intent on mass destruction
