Planet of the Daleks - Episode 3

Here's a kick of nostalgia. A black-and-white episode! And a Dalek one at that. How does Jo manage to climb out of the dumpster that she snuck into the Dalek base in without being seen? Especially since there was a Dalek staring at her the entire time! Probably because it was one of the empty ones, I think. Terry Nation really likes to make use of planets and their natures when writing his stories, doesn't he? The ice eruptions are a distinctive feature of Spiridon, as are those spitting plants we saw in the earlier episodes. It's a nice little touch. The Doctor seems to switch between gloved and ungloved a bit too often for my liking. On the whole, this episode pushes the plot forward by about zilch.
