In this episode Nathan and Juliette talk about the story that almost went out in place of The Daleks, The Masters of Luxor. Along the way Juliette opines on the measure of a man. Nathan ponders how Doctor Who would have been different if this had been the second serial transmitted. They both discuss machine overlords, totalitarian regimes, and ideas that would later be realized in the Cybermen.
