PICTURE/SOUND QUALITY

100% Once again, the BBC Restoration Team have done a good job - excellent picture quality and excellent sound quality. On the downside - at least one special effect disappeared during the remastering process; and Keff McCulloch's poor score makes up one of the extras.

Coal Hill School, Shoreditch, London - 1963: two school teachers, concerned about one of their pupils, follow her homt to 76 Totters Lane - a junkyard. In the junkyard they find an old police box which they gain entry to. Inside they find a ship capable of travelling through time and space. The ship's "owner", the mysterious Doctor, fearing that others may come makes a hasty departure. Now the Doctor has returned, with his new companion, Ace. When he made his hasty departure, the Doctor left a Time Lord artefact behind. Now his old foes, the Daleks have also come to Earth in search of that artefact. The Hand of Omega is a stellar manipulator which allows anyone who controls it the ability to re-engineer stars and travel through time.

However, there are two factions of Daleks on Earth, both seeking the Hand of Omega. The battleground for the artefact is to be London 1963 and the Doctor must ensure that as few people as possible become casualties in the conflict. Matters are complicated as there are humans in the employ of the Daleks, even if they don't know it.
