Doctor Who: Planet of the Daleks: Episode One (1973)
Season 10, Episode 15
7/10
A good start following on from the events of Frontier in Space.
30 January 2019
The first part is a little bit of a mixed bag, it has an epic feel about it, continuing directly from Frontier in Space, it features some nice scenery, moves quickly, but it has a few flaws, such as the MFI TARDIS interior, and the unnecessary suspense created once again surrounding The Daleks, that cover was of course blown in the previous episode.

Pertwee's TARDIS interior seems at odds with all that went before, and came after, no oxygen in the TARDIS? that was never an.issue before, and since when did he have cheap furniture in the console room.

I really like the introduction of The Thaals, I like the threat of the natural environment, and I love The Doctor's recollection of events on Skaro back in the first Dalek aerial.

Not my favourite Dalek story, but it starts off well here. 7/10
