Doctor Who: Resurrection Of The Daleks (Special Edition) (Story 134)



Dr. Who gets violent? - Special Edition Extras compared to 2003 DVD release
The TARDIS inexplicably takes the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough to the planet Earth, present-day (meaning 1984) London, England to be exact. But it's a trap set up by the Daleks.
