Dalek Countermeasure Adhesive Tape

The Doctor demands 'tape' as one of three supplies (wire, scissors) to address the Dalek threat, framing it as vital for hasty repairs or improvisational solutions. The tape’s inclusion highlights the team’s reliance on makeshift, low-tech methods to counteract advanced alien technology. Its role is both practical (e.g., securing wires, patching equipment) and symbolic: it represents the team’s resourcefulness in the face of overwhelming odds. The tape’s mention also contrasts with the moral 'sticking points' in the group (e.g., Polly’s defense of Quinn), as the Doctor prioritizes physical solutions over ethical dilemmas.
