Starring Peter Davison.
Earth, 1984, the TARDIS becomes trapped in a Time Corridor and is drawn off course, emerging in London's deserted docklands. Deep space, the far future, a prison ship comes under attack from unknown forces. Two seemingly unconnected events -- both linked by one terrible purpose. The Daleks are back, once again they are in search of their evil creator, Davros...
For me this is a rather poor story. I think Davros got overused, so it was good that he finally got killed here, though he had already got the chop twice earlier and came back. The premise is that the Daleks need him to cure a deadly virus. Davros had other plans and the Daleks themselves return to being schemers and tacticians rather than monosyllabic killers.
Seeing London's Docklands just prior to their redevelopment is interesting, the DVD has the director revisit the same sets in 2002.
The episode also marked the farewell of Tegan, one of the longest serving assistants on 'Doctor Who'.
