The 12-part tale is “the longest single Doctor Who adventure made for television” referred to as the ‘lost’ adventure.

William Hartnell stars as the first incarnation of the Doctor, and the story finds him combatting the Daleks, as they “threaten to destroy the fabric of time itself.”

Narration linking the episodes comes courtesy of actor Peter Purves, who plays Steven Taylor – a companion to the first Doctor.

The Daleks’ Master Plan features the audio work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, including Delia Derbyshire and Ron Grainer’s iconic theme tune.

Two variants of the box set will be available: a heavyweight transparent blue vinyl edition, and an Amazon exclusive edition on orange and yellow splatter vinyl.
