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? A. G.

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. > "Your arrogance is nearly as great as your ignorance, > young man." > [An easy one to guess] "An Unearthly Child", obviously.
