They're really becoming a laughingstock as they always lose so where's the threat? Just bung them a victory that can't be just casually reset and give the series a problem to confront. Maybe it could end up with a multi series spanning story arc where the Daleks become a huge power in a part of the universe again and we're just stuck with them.

...The Doctor is elsewhere but you’re able to communicate with her via a radio and help her by collecting parts in the scrapyard, in order to summon the TARDIS. All of which sounds simple enough but when you’re playing in VR it looks amazingly real (more so than most actual Doctor Who episodes!) and you’ve got the extra bonus that your main means of interacting with the world is by using your own sonic screwdriver.

The demo was only short (it will be available to the public at MCM Comic Con this weekend) but it ends with the TARDIS materialising into view and you getting to open the doors and view the whole physics-bending impossibility of something that’s bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. In the show that’s achieved with some simple camera tricks but in the game it looks just as real as anything else, especially when you move further in and start playing with the controls. Although unfortunately it’s at that point that the demo ends.

...The Edge Of Time will feature multiple different locations, including Victorian London with the Weeping Angels, and different gameplay mechanics such as a stealth section on a Dalek-invaded world. ‘I think we can challenge that whole preconception about licensed games’, says Hambleton. ‘All the things that are great about the show you’ll get to do in VR. There are some characters, such as the Weeping Angels, that work so well in VR because the second you look away, in VR, they come at you!’ Imagining the Weeping Angels as a cross between Superhot and a survival horror does indeed sound very promising, but certain parts of the game are also similar to real world escape rooms. ‘In the intro, you are learning game mechanics. You’re learning to turn locks with the sonic or you’re learning to find different objects for the Doctor. But as you go through the different levels things get more and more complicated. So there’s a really interesting and difficult laser puzzle in the spaceship that’s quite hard to do’, says Harding.
