Battle of the machine brain The battle of the machine brain was a Dalek effort , with the aid of the First Doctor , to stop the machine brain from producing enough Neutronium to destroy Skaro , and unleashing enough radioactive dust to reach Earth . History . In the desert s of Skaro , the Dalek scientists ordered the machine brain to produce vast quantities of Neutronium , the most dangerous nuclear substance . This was their last order , as the machine destroyed the scientists and the death rays protected the machine from being tampered with , leaving the Daleks without any way of stopping it . If it kept producing Neutronium , it would reach a critical point and explode , taking Skaro with it . A Dalek deliberately allowed an Earth - bound spaceship to capture him so he could contact the First Doctor to help Skaro . Realising the urgency , the Doctor smuggled the Dalek aboard a spacefighter and rushed to Skaro . A Dalek squadron , unaware of the impending catastrophe , shot down the Doctor ' s ship . After crash - landing in an area inhabited by two - headed monsters , the Doctor was brought to the Dalek capital and briefed on the conflict . The Doctor ordered a suicide squadron of Daleks to attack the machine brain with explosives that would not set off the machine ' s Neutronium . The attack had no effect . The Doctor approached the machine brain on his own , and was unaffected by the death rays , as it was only harmful to Daleks ; the Doctor was unaffected " apart from being hot " . He switched off the power , leaving the machine silent . ( PROSE : " Doctor Who and the Daleks " )
Roald Dahl Plass Roald Dahl Plass was a large public square , part of the Cardiff Bay district of Cardiff , Wales . It was a poorly - kept secret among many Cardiff residents that somewhere near the Plass was the site of Torchwood Three ' s headquarters . ( TV : " " ) The Plass housed the Wales Millennium Centre and the Water Tower , which in turn housed much of Torchwood Three ' s equipment . Yvonne Hartman met Barry Jackson at an all - you - can - eat Chinese buffet near Roald Dahl Plass on 26 March 2005 . ( AUDIO : " One Rule " ) The Ninth Doctor parked the TARDIS on Roald Dahl Plass in September 2006 to refuel it using the Cardiff Rift ( TV : " Boom Town " ) . This caused one of the slabs near the Water Tower to develop a perception filter which rendered anyone standing on it unnoticeable . Torchwood Three utilised the slab for the invisible elevator into the Hub . ( TV : " Everything Changes " ) The Plass , and the Torchwood Hub , was destroyed in September 2009 by an explosion caused by a bomb in Jack Harkness ' s body ( TV : " " ) . The blast was reported on BBC News as a possible terrorist attack .

( TV : " Rendition " ) Behind the scenes . In the real world , the fact that " Doctor Who " and " Torchwood " have so prominently featured the Plass has made it a popular destination for fans visiting Cardiff . It is also one of the more public filming locations , so whenever the " Doctor Who " and " Torchwood " crews film there , it often attracts media attention ( such as on 6 January 2010 when filming for Series 5 of " Doctor Who " took place there ) Roald Dahl Plass is of course named for Roald Dahl .
