The Daleks surround the Monk, Steven and Sara, Chen issues an ultimatum, for the Doctor to return and hand over the tiranium in exchange for the safety of his companions. Outraged by the events of desecration the Egyptians attack the Daleks, the attack allows them to escape, but the Daleks have managed to obtain the tiranium core. The Daleks now have the upper hand, the only hope is the directional unit the Doctor managed to take from the Monk's TARDIS. The Daleks return to Kembel to put their master plan into action. The Doctor attaches The Monk's device to the TARDIS and it lurches out of control.
So far the serial has been great and frustrating, there's been a lot of toing and froing. The Monk has added a welcome distraction to the events of the Daleks.
The Monk is perfectly in character to how he was in the Meddling Monk, devious to the last and willing to drop anyone in it, so suit his own needs.
This episode is a good advert for the first Doctor, he shows he's a brave character, not just crotchety. He's also got a slightly dark side, he was quite prepared to land the Monk in mortal danger from the Daleks.
it's another good episode, it's been a long serial. 8/10
