The Doctor and Mel land in London, 1987, and they discover that a massive building shaped like a Dalek has been built in the middle of the city. Not only that, but a game called ''Warfleet'' featuring graphics too advanced for the 1980s has caught on with the United Kingdom's youth population. Can the Doctor and Mel figure out why the Daleks have taken an interest in the future of the UK?
