plot synopsis

Caught in a Time Corridor, the TARDIS is dragged to Earth, where the Doctor joins forces with an escaped prisoner from the future called Stein, and follows the corridor back to its source - a Dalek battle cruiser which has rescued Davros from a space prison. Davros slowly begins to turn one Dalek after another onto his side, so he can destroy the Daleks who no longer follow his orders. The Daleks have made duplicates of all the TARDIS crew, with the plan being to invade Gallifrey, and conquer time itself, and many lives are lost as the Doctor battles against them and eventually wins. Tegan is unable to cope with seeing so many deaths, and leaves the TARDIS crew, remaining on modern Earth...
