Such an iconic serial and yet as somebody who adores long serials, I must admit I felt the length quite a lot. The Daleks are a great force in it, all well-voiced and work pretty well. The conflict is a simple one but works well enough. And there are plenty of lovely scenes with our Tardis Crew. The Fact that the doctor is so curious, he puts them all in danger makes for interesting drama that later gets explored in this story and the edge of destruction. The Moments with Susan writing a letter and giggling about the fact that the Daleks don’t know what Names are all lovely. I really like the first Half of this Story. It only starts to struggle when we come to the parts where our Team unites with the Thals, the conclusion is great, but the fact that we get a lot of unnecessary fillers in those latter parts bothers me. I will say after watching the color version it earned more respect, of course no disrespect to the colorization. That Part is actually stellar, but the cutting down was done so odd and the fact they tried to add music more akin to nuwho does not work.
