Environmental Message Location (Potential Spoilers!) Fortune II, Proxima Major Synopsis 'These creatures have ravaged half the cosmos. They're experts at this kind of thing. Nothing can stand in their way.' The Doctor and Romana find themselves in the Proxima System, where enigmatic Conglomerate CEO Cuthbert has been conducting his infamous 'experiment'. An experiment which might accidentally rip the universe apart. Meanwhile, living conditions on Proxima Major have become harsh and hostile. Climate change has turned the landscape into a freezing wasteland and an alien power has condemned much of the population to life inside internment camps. For those still clinging to their freedom, the struggle for survival is now beyond desperate and outsiders such as the Doctor and Romana are only seen as a threat. What is Cuthbert really up to in the Proxima System, and just how does he expect the dreaded Daleks to fit into his plan?

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Phantoms of the Deep Fairly standard Dalek story, but it stands out with both K9 and Romana I. Their interactions with the Daleks are fun to listen to, Romana's interrogation scene and the almost rivalry between K9 and the Daleks are both really fun and it features the return of Cuthbert from a few stories prior. He's even more slimy and annoying in this so that's nice. Solid fun and if the second part lives up to this one then it'll be a good way to end a really great series.

DOCTOR: Antique? I'll have you know my TARDIS is far better than any standard Type 40. I've put in a lot of loving care and attention. She's- she's virtually custom-built. ROMANA: Custom built? I believe the relevant Terran phrase you're looking for is 'jerry-built.' DOCTOR: Shh! Don't listen to her old girl, don't listen! She doesn't know what she's saying. — The Dalek Contract Show All Quotes (2) Open in new window
