PLOT SUMMARY

The TARDIS is stolen by antiques dealer Edward Waterfield who has been sent to 1966 from 1867 by the Daleks to lure The Doctor and Jamie into a trap. The Daleks are looking to identify the "human factor" that they believe allows humans to always defeat them. The Doctor succeeds in "humanising" three Daleks and is taken back to Skaro where he meets the Emperor Dalek and learns what the Daleks are really up to.
