Eluding the Daleks on the barren planet Aridius the Doctor and his friends escape in the TARDIS. But this is only the beginning of an epic journey.

As they travel through space and time, they try to shake off their pursuers by making a series of random landings - but the Daleks dont give up easily. This is a chase to the death ...
 

The Doctor, Barbara and Ian had faced - and narrowly defeated - the Daleks twice before. They had known that there was always the possibility that the Daleks would win. But the reaches of time and space had always seemed to be safe - so that there was always the chance that if they were overwhelmed, they could flee.

But now, the Daleks can track them through all of time and space. They try to shake off their attackers by making a series of random landings, but this is a chase to the death ...

Doctor Who - The Chase, written by Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, was first broadcast in 1965, with William Hartnell playing the role of the Doctor. This adaptaion is by John Peel, who is the author of THE GALLIFREY CHRONICLES, the definitive history of the Doctor's home planet and its people.

Doctor Who - The Chase is available as a BBC video
 

"We must face the facts - the Daleks are closing in on us."

...and they are closing in on the Doctor in a chase through both the Universe and through time itself! For having created their own time machine, the Daleks are able to pursue the TARDIS from the planet Aridius, on the the Empire State Building in 1966, on to the Marie Celeste in 1872 and even on into a haunted house within someone's nightmare!

Recognising that he must force a resolution to this desperate chase through time, the scene is set for a confrontation between the Time Lord and his most feared enemy on the jungle planet of Mechanus...
