regenerated Romana.The serial is set on the planet Skaro centuries
after events of the 1975 serial Genesis of the Daleks. In the serial,
the Daleks arrive on Skaro to find their creator Davros (David
Gooderson) in suspended animation. They seek Davros' guidance to help
them beat the Movellan race the Daleks are in a stalemate with.K9 has
lost his voice, and the Fourth Doctor is confused as to why a robot
would have laryngitis. Romana, for reasons unknown, regenerates,
eventually choosing the form of Princess Astra of the planet Atrios,
in spite of the Doctor's disapproval of it, as well as several "test
bodies" she tries on beforehand.The TARDIS lands on a rocky planet
with breathable air but dangerously high levels of radioactivity. The
Doctor and Romana explore and see a group of ragged-looking humans
burying one of their dead, followed by a spaceship landing and
half-burying itself in the ground in a valley. Just as the Doctor and
Romana are about to investigate, underground explosions force them
back towards the ruins. Whilst exploring them, another explosion
occurs, trapping the Doctor. Romana returns to the TARDIS to
reassemble K9 so he can assist, but finds the TARDIS half-buried in
rubble. She goes back to find the Doctor has vanished. As she turns to
leave, a man who has been following her blocks her path. She backs
away, falls down a rubble chute, and loses consciousness. She recovers
only to have three Daleks burst through the wall and capture her, and
command her to work at a drilling site. Destiny of the Daleks Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
