Notes: The story begins where the last one left off and forms a loose twelve-part epic with the Doctor trying to stop the Dalek army, which will be used to destroy both Earth and Draconia, from awakening. This was Dalek creator Terry Nation's first story for the series since The Daleks' Master Plan in 1965. He had originally wanted to call the story Destination: Daleks with the planet being called Destinus but this was changed at the insistence of script editor Terrance Dicks. Nation also provided the Dalek Supreme prop for the final episode which was in fact a modified one from the sixties movies starring Peter Cushing.
Verdict: An action packed Dalek romp showcasing some great, if not unoriginal, ideas. However, there is a fair bit of padding and while it does sustain itself for six parts it would've made a much better four part story 8/10
