The Doctor and Amy are about to face off against the Daleks in their most terrifying encounter yet - but this time the only person who can save them is you.

Following an initial testing period over the past two days, the BBC can confirm that the final version of  ’City of the Daleks’, the first episode of the Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, is available to download for PC now from the Doctor Who website (www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho) for free.  The Mac version will follow on June 15th 2010.

’City of the Daleks’ sees the TARDIS materialize in 1963 as the Doctor takes to Amy to London to meet The Beatles. However, the London they encounter is very different to the one they expected: a ravaged Trafalgar Square reveals a new Dalek threat, and one which has wiped out virtually every human in existence. Amy’s existence in this alternate world jeopardises everything, forcing the Doctor not just to defeat the Daleks’ latest plan, but save his new companion from slipping out of time itself...

’City of the Daleks’ has been designed for the entire family to play. Offering a heady mix of puzzle-solving, action and adventure, it’s an episode of Doctor Who that you control - with players of all ages and gaming ability able to enjoy the ride.

"Players get to use the Sonic Screwdriver themselves, which is pretty cool" adds Steven Moffat, "and jump between different times. Plus, you’ll meet one of the most evil creations in the whole of time and space. So whilst it’s fun, it’s also scary - exactly as an episode of Doctor Who should be."

The Doctor Who: The Adventure Games have been designed to offer players the chance to be the Doctor in four original episodes, in unique adventures which form part of this year’s TV series.

Episode one ’City of the Daleks’ is available for free as a download for PC (only in the UK) from the BBC Doctor Who website at www.bbc.co.uk/docotorwho. The Mac version will follow on June 15th 2010.

Details of the second episode will be announced soon.

It does state that if are outside of the UK there will be a paid version of the game available for download later this year...paid as in not free, which it is in the UK...
