The Space Museum

Premise: When the TARDIS jumps a time track and lands on the planet Xeros, the travellers are given a glimpse of their own future in which they are fated to become exhibits in a museum.

Notes: A Dalek makes an appearance in the first episode, although only as a exhibit in the museum. An actual Daleks turn up at the end of episode four in a teaser scene for The Chase that was to follow. William Harnell was on holiday during the filming of episode three, his on screen absence was explained by the Doctor being processed to become a museum piece.

Verdict: The first episode and the whole idea of the TARDIS jumping a time track is very smart and makes for good entertainment. However, the supporting cast all look bored ridged and it's only really the regulars that are putting any effort in. The idea of trying to prevent the future almost gets lost in the middle episodes and it basically just comes across as a 'seen it all before' story 5/10
