Radiation nil, oxygen normal, pressure normal… yet
Nearly wiped out by storm and plague, the Earth’s population has been commandeered by the Daleks into huge mining operations. Some humans have suffered the additional indignation of being transformed into Robomen to serve the Daleks in their diabolical plans. Humanity’s only hope for survival lies with a small band of resistance fighters who need all the help they can get.
The TARDIS materialises in
The travellers discover that the Daleks have established a huge mine in Bedfordshire, their aim being to remove the Earth's core using a huge bomb and replace it with a powerful drive system so that they can pilot the planet around the galaxy. Ian manages to create a barrier in the shaft in order to intercept the bomb. The resulting explosion destroys the Daleks and their mine and creates a huge volcanic eruption.
Susan has fallen in love with resistance fighter David Campbell, and the Doctor decides to leave her on Earth to find a new life with him, while he continues on his travels with Ian and Barbara.

This story features the first of many quarries to be used in the series' location filming - this one, John's Hole Quarry, actually representing a quarry rather than an alien landscape.
