Episode
5: Genesis of the Daleks
By Edward Teach
Doctor Whoof? and his Expendable Sidekick are sent back in time to
Wookey Hole by the Master where strange things are afoot. Tourists
have been msyteriously zapped on the backside by a football whilst
roaming the caves and staring at stalagmites that look very little
like a witch no matter what type of lighting they are lit by.
In a recess in the deepest cave the Doctor discovers his arch nemesis
- the evil madman Kassam. The crazed egomaniac has been working on
his new Mark 2 death machine - the Dalek. With this he hopes to take
his planet, built entirely on his ego in his own image, into the
League One Galaxy to wreak havoc. The machine is getting its eye
in using tourists for target practice.
Putting K9 in stockings and suspenders they try to encourage the
prototype Dalek to follow them back to the Memorial where they can
tinker with its brain and turn it against its creator.
Doctor Whoof? starts talking to it about his plans to refurbish and
improve the TARDIS and the Dalek soon begins to lose the will to
live. By the time the Doctor gets onto his protracted excuses for
recent failings in his various upgrades, the Dalek's brain melts.
It is then supplanted by a replacement Whoof brain that the Expendable
Sidekick has been growing in a jar under his bedside lamp. They then
replace its little rolling wheels with a pair of legs the Master
borrowed from a man called Sonny, who seemed to have little need
for them anymore.
Dubbed 'The Walker' the Dalek soon begins to forge a partnership
with the TARDIS' chief gunner zapping footballs all over the Memorial
giving the populace some amount of respite from their current viral
discontented disease.
