I saw the two films when they first came out, the second film meant that Sugar Puffs had to finance it, hence the posters, the scene when when Wyler and Susan were in a van crashing to Daleks was a let down. Why?, just look at the Dalek prop bottoms that were hollowed out… Conway was played by the late Keith Marsh (1926 ‑ 2013), also played Jacko in the Thames Television Love Thy Neighbour tv series.

'Yes but do I have the RIGHT to destroy the evil alien?'

4:36 was composed by the late Malcolm Lockyer, Barry Grey did the Dalek City sound effects for both films, the late Bill McGufie wrote the score for Dr. Who & The Daleks.

I can't imagine a less appealing approaching to animation. Cheap and utterly hideous.

For me the most forgotten companion has to go to Kamelion. I was 10 years old when the final part of The King's Demons was broadcast on 16th March 1983. There was an 8 month gap before The Five Doctors was broadcast on 25th November which seemed a very long time when I was 10, a whole new school year had started, so plenty of time had passed to forget that Kamelion had joined the TARDIS crew. Planet of Fire Episode 1 was broadcast on 23rd February 1984, which makes the original gap between Kamelion's two stories almost a full year. No wonder he was forgotten.

Not forgotten by me as I've both movies and I've only got the classic dr who's on dvd . Give the new show a wide birth up to season three and gave up. Who as lost it and less to be said for the classic dr who that there putting in colour as there cut to hell . And don't even make sense anymore i thought they was going to colour the full episodes boy was i wrong so stopped getting them . They have just killed dr who in my book what with the new show's and the so called full colour episodes BBC out to make money on a good old classic but sad monsters in every episode what ever happened to the time traveling classics can't BBC do them anymore without some bad CGI monsters having to be in them . And for what they did with the war games what was the point in colour if there going to just do that then keep them. And people go on about missing episodes ..

I have the same ranking. #1 Day, #2 Death, #3 Planet. I also feel like Planet was too long. I love Pertwee's era, but some of his 6 part stories feel like 4 part stories padded out to 6. I think that switching from three 6 part stories per series down to one 6 parter per series in Tom Baker's era was a good decision. That also left room for an additional story.

They lost their magic in the 1970s. Moffat compounded the error by opening the suit and ruining the mystery.

I got the impression they were decaying humanoids in a life support unit. Not a cyborg.

I think you're overreacting. The original has a lot of filler that does not need to be there. Yes they overdo the flashbacks. Yes they overdo the music, but it’s fine for what it is. The fat has been trimmed out to tighten up the narrative. It’s interesting as a recap. Besides this is way better than the War Games in colour.

The only thing I don’t particularly like about the Silurians is that the ending feels like a bit of a cop out. The brigadier just destroys the base. He just does it. And it so quick and so easy, and so casually, you are left to wonder why he didn’t do it sooner. And I’ll be honest, I never felt like it was coming. The balance of power is never properly established. You never fell like the humans have the advantage or the power to just end it like that whenever they want. We're so used to the soldiers being utterly useless in these stories ("just once I would like a creature that isn’t immune to bullets") that the fact they can do this feels weird. Maybe it’s not helped by the fact I went in knowing that it was going to happen so there was no opportunity for me to be shoocked. It’s both one where the plot has been copied so many times, almost beat for beat in the sea devils and the hungry earth/cold blood, and so famous that it’s hard to go in spoiler free. So maybe I was expecting a bit more.

80s Cybermen are my favourite villains, these were the ones I grew up watching. And I unironically love Attack of the Cybermen the most. Sure, the 60s is probably a stronger era overall, but I’ve only seen Tomb of the Cybermen so can’t fairly judge them all, but the overall feel of the 80s with their silver suits, and the fist clenching Leader, just hits me right in the nostalgia.

Katarina is interesting because she is the first companion death. The lack of appearances is what creates intrigue. It also highlights just how much of a toxic working environment the show had become at that time. Peter Purves has spoken about how difficult it was working on the show around that time, and how William Hartnell shielded all the guest-stars from the producers/directors etc, and the challenges of how they kept on hiring and then firing female actors for the female companion role (to hear him speak he doesn’t consider anyone, even Dodo, to be permanent companions during this time). Allegedly Katarina only became a companion in the first place because the higher ups wanted to get rid of Maureen O’Brien (Vicki). She would ask the writers questions about the plot and offer notes that rubbed them the wrong way (allegedly). It was clearly hastily done, in a story which pushed them towards introducing a character from Ancient Greece/troy, which clearly nobody had put any thought into the consequences of this, and when they realised it was too late. Now a better set of writers might have taken up the challenge of writing someone with a more primitive mindset to make it work (look at Leela for a great example of a primitive minded character) but not these writers. By all accounts The Dalek Masterplan is a needlessly complicated mess before you even consider the wild card of a tricky to write companion. I can understand why they took the quick and easy way out by unceremoniously killing her off, but I will always consider it cowardly. Edit: I am referring mostly to Dalek Masterplan's reputation. I obviously have not seen it, or have real opinions on it or Sara Kingdom (the episodes are lost and I’m too young to have seen it at the time).

To be the best part of these colourisations, is when they do the physical release, it comes with the original dvd too. Since older dvds are harder to come by, having basically a reprint is appropriated

Hey, can you please not use my Dalek renders in your thumbnail please? especially erasing my watermark and not giving any credit to begin with.

I like Dr. Who & The Daleks

I like Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D

Great - nice summary. I'd heard somewhere that the script for Day of the Daleks originally wasn't a Dalek story, but they were shoehorned in by someone in the BBC. On the downside, you've made me feel very old as I experienced all of these initially through Target novelisations rather than dvd (though not quite as old as someone who saw them originally!).

Death my first vhs in 87 and Day of are brilliant special edition is good not keen on new series dalek voices improvement tho had the target books the storys characters and settings and Daleks cunning threat, by genesis its just Davros stories with Daleks

Always wondered what happened to Kamelian when the Tardis was ripped apart in "Frontios!"

I have only seen the original. But I will say Jon Pertwee is and will always be my favorite Doctor.

I'd say "Death to the Daleks" is my favourite, it was probably the first Jon Pertwee Dalek story I watched. It was the 90 minute compilation edit released by BBC Video. Looking at the release date my parents must have bought it for me to watch over the school summer holidays that year (1987). I think "Day of the Daleks" was also released as a 90 minute compilation by BBC Video the previous year but I probably didn't get them in release order back then. I didn't get to watch "Planet of the Daleks" until it was shown on BBC1 in November 1993. I think I've only seen the special edition of "Day" once (maybe twice) on DVD, but the new Dalek voices were a definite improvement over the original, and the new scenes were shot on 16mm film to keep in the style of the original so they seemed to blend in seamlessly. I started a re-watch on BBC iPlayer about 6 months ago but I started on the first Sarah Jane story so I've seen "Death" recently but not the other two.

Death to The Daleks is one of my favorite Doctor Who stories. I love everything about it. I love how Galloway is paranoid of the Doctor(a natural reaction to how the team is being picked off one by one) and ends up being a hero at the end. I also like how he's uneasy with the Daleks killing off hostages but understands that they need to work with them to save millions of lives. The Day of The Daleks is also excellent. I suspect a young James Cameron may have watched it. Planet is a little padded but I love the message that The Doctor imparts to the team leader at the end to not make war sound like a grand adventure.

The only 70s cybermen story was awful and apart from earthshock they didnt do well in the 80s. The 60s was best era for cybermen in fact i loved them all apart from the wheel in space which i found a drag to watch.

Day and Planet are great!

Best Dalek story is destiny of the Daleks but a close second is Planet of the Daleks

The Pertwee Dalek stories are my least favourite Dalek stories in classic who :(

There were 4 Jon Pertwee Dalek stories (also Frontier in Space). Anyway.

Death and Day are great, Planet is such a drag.

I love Death and Day, great stories and the first two I had on VHS. I enjoy Day with the updated effects.

Tricky choice. Now, I think that the politics and time travel paradox of Day make it the most accomplished story. But as a kid watching these, the adventure of Planet was a real favourite - and, of course, I had no idea that it was derivative of earlier stories. Pertwee very much “my doctor” and I’ll stick with my childhood preference for Planet.

Agreed.....special edition Day Of The Daleks is the best. Thank-you for the video.

I appreciate Nicholas Briggs's voice work on the Special Edition but (slightly) annoyed that there isn't an original audio track available on the Blu Ray Special Edition version. The visual improvements really enhance the story and the flatness of the original Dalek voice work capture their boredom with years of the occupation and they'd really be happier shouting 'exterminate' trundling down corridors and shooting enemies rather than the drudgery of bureaucracy.

My criteria for a 'Companion' is: Was in more than one story, and traveled with the Doctor. Ergo, sadly, Sara Kingdom doesn't qualify. Should she have been a companion is another matter, I certainly think she'd have been better than Dodo.

I largely agree with everything here, Tenth Planet might be one of the best designs of the Cybermen, Tomb and Invasion are actually just masterpieces, the only other stories that have them at such an excellent level of menace and might is Earthshock, World enough and time/Doctor Falls and in my opinion also Attack of the Cybermen. Rise/Age of Steel are perfectly fine and workable it's a good reintroducing but until series 10 it's the only story that gets what the Cybermen are about instead of being just Robots or playing second fiddle like Death in Heaven which I also like but more because of 12/Missy

Day wasn't my favourite, it's not bad but I just didn't completely vibe with it, Death is probably my favourite even though it's not perfect, and Planet was fine it's just Terry Nation reusing a bunch of ideas from his previous stories which are all fine it's enjoyable enough, but being 6 parts it drags on more than previous longer Dalek epics. I'm not even bothering placing Frontier in Space, which starts of with two much of shuffling Jo and 3 from prison cell to cell, picks up massively when the Master appears, and then the ending sadly let's it all down and the fact that Planet that carries directly on doesn't really address any of it saddens me

The Daleks were attacked by a silver hoover pipe.

Death to the Daleks was the start of the horror style Doctor Who that captured me as a very young boy. The Exxilons were terrifying.. especially their chanting .. the music ..the pyramid maze with skeletons in it. Even the maze floor cliff hanger ..that many hate - I loved ! A top story!

My understanding of Day of the Daleks is that the Daleks are actually superfluous to the entire story. It may as well be an Ogron invasion that the rebels are trying to prevent. It’s like they had a good idea and someone said, 'you know what would make it better? Daleks' and they were forced to bend over backwards to shoehorn the daleks in somehow. Which is a shame.

Letts and Dicks wanted to concentrate on their own concepts like the Master and the Daleks were very much forced upon them. They come across as generic baddies and lack any disturbing aspects relating to the mutation inside. Terry Nation 's way with a Dr Who script hadn't moved on much with the times and hadn't kept pace. '

Day is one of the very best, Planet is good but....Death (at least some of it) is pretty poor.

Planet of the Daleks was my favourite story had a lot of Adventure Jo on her own on a hostile planet with them having to escape the planet before the daleks capturing them.The spiridons were a nice add to the story with their purple cloaks. The 3rd doctor era was my favourite with solid episodes it didn't have many poor stories/seasons like future doctors had. 4th doctors stories are easily looked on by me genesis was excellent but destiny was awful

The special edition is better and planet of the daleks I think is the best

Pertwee was such a great Doctor. He was my Doctor

Pertwee fought the dalek more times even if it was three

I love all these stories mate but I think I'd have to say that Day of the Daleks is my fave. It's properly about the consequences of time travel and it has UNIT in it.

i loved the Pertwee era but found the electronic sound effects through his era to be rather irritating most of the time. Completely agree about day of the Daleks, and was very impressed with the efforts made to improve on the original.

Random gripe with Day of the Daleks - This is their first TV outing in colour and the designers make the Daleks grey with black trimmings. Oh well, I guess it was the 70's and at the time having every shade of brown you could wish for was considered high fashion. Having said that the grey worked perfectly with the bleak, militaristic tone of Genesis.

Day of the Daleks is my favourite dalek story and yes, the special edition is way better than the original.
