Over the weekend, the Doctor and Leela tangle with a magician, a large rat, a live ventriloquist's dummy, and a 51st Century butcher, all in the effort to catch a show in 19th Century London. On Monday, the 7th Doctor faces off against Davros and a Dalek army with nothing but some old wires and worn out television sets to back him up. The top 10 stories will probably conclude on November 25.
