Fairy tale? What fairy tale? About the only thing this story has in common with The Emperor's New Clothes is the title. This is the tale of rebels on a planet captured by the Daleks trying to sabotage their plans and suffering heavy casualties as they fail to do so. The Emperor Dalek comes to the planet and they see an opportunity to attack him. They manage to damage him and he needs a new casing (new clothes). There's stuff about replacing his force field (invisible new clothes) that's really contrived. The planet happens to have facilities for force fields, and the rebels are able to get in there without the Daleks noticing, and they know how to sabotage the force field production and the Daleks won't notice that the force field doesn't function? Then the rebels can plant explosives along a parade route and lie in ambush and again the Daleks won't notice any of this? The plot is full of contrivances that are hard to swallow. A shame, as the bones of the story could have been built into something good. This isn't that. And it isn't a fairy tale, either. kevinwho View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
