EXTERMINATE!
The Daleks, Doctor Who's oldest and most ruthless enemies, have one goal — total world power. Their prime weapon is time travel. In the late Twentieth Century, they attacked the Planet Earth. Their plan: alter the course of history. Start World Wars. Wipe out the human population. They were very effective.
Can Doctor Who, trapped in the Twenty-Second Century, reverse history's course in time to save our planet and every living thing on it, including himself, from the devastating and evil force of the Daleks?

The Doctor and Jo Grant are caught up in a desperate bid by a group of 22nd-century guerrilla fighters to return to the 20th century and assassinate Sir Reginald, thereby changing the course of history...
