Day of the Daleks - Episode 1

The Daleks return! Shame they changed the voices and made them crap. This is our first story without complete episodes, it's just one movie-length video. So we're going by the "Television Companion" with its episode endings for reference. Until the final Dalek rant scene, the only glimpse we get of a Dalek in this episode is a super-brief shot, and it says one word. Not a great re-introduction, in my opinion. Location work is OK, don't like the day-for-night scenes, never have, not just in Doctor Who, but anywhere. Poor Benton doesn't get to eat his snack. For a first episode, especially a first episode of a season, this starts really slowly. The Ogrons are extremely cool, though. We should get more Daleks in the next episode. Shame about the crap voices.
