into the heart of the Dalek world, to the Parliament of the Daleks. He’s reunited with the Pond’s and surprised
by the Dalek’s that just for once they don’t want to exterminate him, but that
they require his help. Aboard the Asylum
planet where insane Daleks are housed, a transmission has been received by the
Daleks, from a woman called Oswin Oswald, who claims to be the Junior
Entertainment Manager on the starliner Alaska that has crashed into the
Asylum...
