With 12 parts to this behemoth story, we knew it would take a bit of patience and schedule finagling to figure out how to break it up and review it, and then time to get to it, and we are finally ready. Traveling The Vortex presents… the Master Plan of the Daleks Master Plan!

| 2 | Day of Armageddon | 24:25:00 | 16mm t/r | Film (Lost In Time) |

Episode #394 has us return to Big Finish with a look at mainline story #106 The Dark Husband.
…and the Brigverse returns in Episode #395, with our reviews of Lethbridge-Stewart: The Lost Skin by Andy Frankham-Allen, and Cow Pats and Comfort by Tim Gambrell (short story from the LS Quiz Book)
Easter Saturday is just around the corner (we think) and with it, our run-up to season 11 (we think) which means the schedule from this point out becomes much more fluid to handle sudden changes. We’ll keep you appraised, and as always, thanks for listening…
To celebrate ten years on YouTube, Babelcolour has remade an old favorite of his. This is a colorized version of a trailer he made for The Dalek’s Master Plan. We thought we’d share it here. Please be sure to check out the other videos on Babelcolour’s YouTube page. They are all wonderful!
Today marks the 94th birthday of the late Peter Butterworth, who played The Meddling Monk in “The Time Meddler” (coming soon to Friday Night Who), and “The Dalek’s Master Plan”.
