Template:Bigfinishbox The Mutant Phase is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It forms the third serial in the Dalek Empire arc, following on from events in The Genocide Machine and The Apocalypse Element. The arc concludes in The Time of the Daleks. This audio drama is based on an earlier Audio Visuals story of the same name.
A director's cut of the first episode was included with the Doctor Who Magazine bonus CD story Cuddlesome.
Plot
The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa discover that even the Daleks have foes that they fear as a paradox threatens to destroy the universe... but are the Daleks the threat or the cure?
Some of the action of this story takes place during a Dalek invasion of Earth in the 22nd century; this is the same invasion as the one depicted in the First Doctor serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (the plan to remove the Earth's core is mentioned, as well as the mine works in Bedfordshire). The date of this story is given as 2158; the TV serial, which has yet to occur (the revolt against the Daleks which the First Doctor will instigate, has not yet happened), takes place in or after 2164, later in the invasion's history.
