The Schedule of the Master Plan of the Daleks Master Plan
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!
PART 1 of the plan is revealed in TTV #390:
| 0 | Mission to the Unknown | 22:42 | Only stills and/or fragments exist | Animated (Amateur Production) |
| 1 | The Nightmare Begins | 22:55 | Only stills and/or fragments exist | Reconstruction (Loose Canon) |
| 2 | Day of Armageddon | 24:25:00 | 16mm t/r | Film (Lost In Time) |
(We labeled Mission to the Unknown as part 0 since it’s technically not part of the story proper.)
PART 2 comes in episode #391:
| 3 | The Devil’s Planet | 24:30:00 | Only stills and/or fragments exist | Reconstruction (Loose Canon) |
| 4 | The Traitors | 24:42:00 | Only stills and/or fragments exist | Reconstruction (Loose Canon) |

and finally, part 4 opens August, in episode #393:

(Along with the episodes listed above, we will also be reviewing the comic series that was released to tie into the story.)
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…
We take a different approach to this week’s show and pause for a pop quiz! First we look at the “Liberty Hall” short film interview found as a bonus feature on the Mawdryn Undead DVD. Then we continue by reviewing Candy Jar Books’ The Lethbridge-Stewart Quiz Book by Mark Jones.
