empire is on the rocks. But, having retreated to his own private planet,
Transmission, Scullop is about to gamble his fortune on a new show, made with an
entirely new technology. And the name of that show… is Laser.
Back in the real world, far from the realms of small screen sc-fi fantasies
about monsters and aliens, the Doctor is interested only in watching Test Match
cricket… but finds himself drawn into Scullop’s world when his new travelling
companion, Flip, is snatched from inside the TARDIS.
So, while the Doctor uncovers the terrible secret of Trans-Gal’s new tech, Flip
battles to survive in a barren wilderness ruled over by the indestructible Lord
Krarn and his pig-like servants, the Warmongers. And the name of that
wilderness... is ‘Stevenage’.

The TARDIS arrives in London in November
1963, where the Seventh Doctor and Ace discover that two rival factions of
Daleks - one loyal to the Dalek Emperor and one to the Dalek Supreme - are
seeking the Hand of Omega, a powerful Time Lord device that the first Doctor hid
there during an earlier sojourn on Earth.
The Daleks are focusing their search around Coal Hill School - the school that
the Doctor's grand-daughter Susan attended - while a human military unit led by
Group Captain Gilmore is attempting to resist their incursions. The Imperial
Daleks eventually capture the device.
The Dalek Emperor is revealed to be Davros, now with only the last vestiges of
his humanoid form remaining. The Doctor begs him not to use the Hand but is
ignored. However, this is just the final ruse in a complex trap laid by the
Doctor.
The Hand of Omega utterly destroys the Dalek home planet, Skaro, and then
returns to destroy their forces orbiting Earth.

1 x Dalek Emperor Davros action figure.

When something disturbs the TARDIS in flight, the Sixth Doctor is determined to
find out the reason why. Landing in London, 1985, he and Peri are shocked to
find the Cybermen are hiding in London’s sewers!
Becoming their prisoner, the Doctor is forced to take the Cybermen to their home
planet, Telos. There he discovers the inhuman monsters have captured another
time vessel and plan to change history. They want to redirect Halley’s Comet so
it crashes into Earth in 1985 – the year before their original home planet,
Mondas, was destroyed.
Perpugilliam Brown, known as Peri, was an eighteen year-old American Botany
student holidaying in Lanzarote with her step-father, when the Fifth Doctor and
Turlough landed nearby. Turlough rescued Peri when she tried to swim to shore
from her uncle’s boat, and took her inside the TARDIS to recover. The TARDIS
took off with Peri still on board. Headstrong and argumentative, Peri stayed
with the Doctor and helped him through his most difficult regeneration to date.
Peri’s fate is unclear.
Contents:
1 x Peri action figure.
1 x Rogue Cyberman action figure (with detachable faceplate).
1 x Cybergun accessory.
