Notes: This third Dalek adventure features a more comedic take on the Daleks with them nodding using their eye pieces and stuttering. Some of the Dalek props seen the the background were modified versions of the ones which feature in the movie released later the same year and the design now features vertical slats on their mid-section which would remain part of the design for decades to come. This serial also saw William Russell and Jacqueline Hill, who played Ian and Barbara, leave the series and are replaced by Peter Purves as Steven. He also appeared earlier in the serial as Morton Dill, the young man from Alabama who they met on the top of the Empire State Building.
Verdict: While the humour is over the top and some of the performances cringe worthy, it is ultimately an enjoyable tale which flies by with great style. Ian and Barbara's departure at the end is very touching 7/10
