The Doctor’s plan has failed — and the truth is finally exposed. In Part Four of The Crucible of Terror, the deception surrounding the Crucible is uncovered. What was believed to be Earth’s salvation is revealed as a doomsday weapon, feeding on the planet’s core and counting down to total annihilation.

The TARDIS lands in 15th century Italy, in the beautiful rose gardens of the de Dello family. Brothers Aurelio and Vincenzo, one an inventor, the other an artist, struggle to maintain the house under the judgemental gaze of their mother, Isabella.

But as the time travellers get embroiled in the household's machinations, darker forces are at work. A great experiment is underway, one that will shape the future of the Dalek race. Plant the seed, watch it grow, and take over the cosmos.
