Guerillas time-jump back from the 22nd century to assassinate Sir Reginald Styles - a diplomat working for World Peace, The Doctor discovers they are from a future where the Daleks have invaded the Earth (Following wars precipitated by Styles's destruction at the peace conference). With the Daleks desperate to maintain their version of history, The Doctor and Jo find themselves in a totalitarian future, where they must discover who really happened and prevent it.
The Third Doctor, along with his companion Jo Grant, is sent back in time by the Time Lords to investigate a peasant rebellion against a futuristic, dictatorial society. They discover that the planet's future is being manipulated by the Daleks, who are using mind-controlled humans to ensure their own eventual dominance. The Doctor must find a way to avert this temporal catastrophe and prevent the Daleks from achieving their ultimate goal.
Day of the Daleks is a significant early Third Doctor story, notable for its introduction of the Ogrons and its exploration of time travel paradoxes. While it benefits from a strong performance by Jon Pertwee and the enduring menace of the Daleks, some critics note that the plot can be a bit convoluted and the pacing occasionally uneven. Nonetheless, it remains a fan favorite for its classic Doctor Who elements and its role in expanding the show's mythology.
