Now the forum is attracting a few more people, time to add the second Doctor Who story ever to the discussion mix.
Is this where Doctor Who started proper? Was Verity Lambert right to ignore Sydney Newman’s ‘no Bug Eyed Monsters’ directive?
And of course we now have a totally new version of this story to enjoy - in COLOUR with a brand new music score and edited to a blockbuster movie length. Opinions on that are, shall we say, dividied.
As with An Unearthly Child, I took a bit of a deep dive into everything associated with this story online - which is easier said than done because typing ‘The Daleks’ into a search engine doesn’t just lead you to stuff about their first story and, indeed, probably leads to a lot of other stories instead!
So, do we like The Daleks?
