THE DALEK INVASION OF EARTH

The Daleks herald a new era in British tourism. 
Season: 2
Episodes: 6
Broadcast Dates: 21 November-26 December 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: Terry Nation (x3)
Director: Richard Martin
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara)
Jumping Ship: Susan, marooned on 22nd century post-apocalyptic Earth.

The Plot: The title should be a dead giveaway, shouldn't it.
We Like: The Daleks as Space Nazis, the hard and gritty realism of resistance fighting, the Slyther (yes, even the Slyther).
We Dislike: It takes about five resistance fighters to destroy the entire Dalek invasion force in Britain. Yes, sure but what about the rest of the world?
Rating: 4
