[net.tv.drwho] Episode 7 of "Dalek Masterplan"

Something has been plaguing my mind for a while, but I never got
around to asking about it:  the "Doctor Who Programme Guide" says,
under "The Dalek Masterplan," that Episode 7 is a christmas story
falling in the middle of the main plot.  What does this mean?
Is this episode a story on its own?  Does it have anything to
do with "Dalek Masterplan"?  Can anyone answer any of these
questions for me?

The seventh episode was a Christmas pantomime, the Doctor & companions
had manged to evade the Daleks for one episode when they visited
Earth (Liverpool) on Christmas Day, 1965 (when the episode was
broadcast).  It included a visit to the set where the show "Doctor
Who" was filmed, etc...

I didn't really have much to do with "The Dalek Masterplan", but as
it was broadcast int he middle of the story, it is considered part
of it.

"An Unearthly Child", obviously.  "I know that free travel through the
fourth dimension is not something I'll see solved in a junkyard!"
