Intro: The TARDIS is now stuck in the shape of a police box because of a faulty chameleon circuit and will keep its present form through many Doctoral regenerations, as will the Daleks, which means The Doctor will encounter this night for the first of many times.
Outro: Marooned on the planet Skaro, how will The Doctor, Ian and Susan regain the fluid link necessary to restart the TARDIS? Mollification? Negotiation? Persuasion? With the Daleks? Oh feckless thoughts. The method may be learned next Sunday night at 11 with the conclusion of "The Dead Planet." [source: ChicagoEpguides]
