Unwillingly transported into the fields and trenches of a battle-exhausted Skaro, the Doctor must face his most dangerous mission ever — to prevent the Daleks from ever being created."

Although this scene did feature in the overseas versions of the story, and also in the VHS release, it was decided to remove it from the DVD release so that the episode remained truer to the original UK transmission

* NOTE - It was originally intended for director Sarah Hellings to take part in the commentary, but she was unable to attend on the only day available, much to her disappointment. The producer of the commentary, Steve Roberts, was worried that the presence of three lead actors (and no production input to balance them out) might lead to a somewhat 'luvvy' commentary, but Colin provided a depth of knowledge about the production of the story which would shame many on the other side of the camera!
