plot synopsis

The TARDIS travels back to the Winter of 1963, and lands near Coal Hill School, shortly after the original crew departed from Earth. The Doctor left the Hand of Omega behind, a sentient device with immense powers from Gallifrey, which two factions of Daleks are also searching for. The Doctor realises that there must be humans helping both sides, and he allows the device to be captured by the white Imperial Daleks, whose Emperor is revealed to be Davros, who thinks he now has the power for universal conquest.
