DWW Reader Opinion

Facebook

“Classic as it made the show stay for a long time. Imagine if the Daleks was a terrible story we would have no Daleks AND no Doctor Who” - Daniel Oroku Saki Kierans

“Classic with some great character development for our regulars and a storyline that stays fresh by changing what it’s about at the end of episode four.” - Nathan Laws

“I love it, even if it’s one episode too long. Especially the scene when the daleks are ‘hiding’ and the Thal leader comes in to pick at the fruit. Very sixties and just wonderful even if you could probably see them a mile off!” - Christine Grit

“I loved it. A classic cautionary tale retold brilliantly for that era.” - Larry Viscarra

“Brilliant stuff . Possibly an episode too long , but great none-the-less” - Jeff Waddell

@DrWhoWorldwide seminal. It cements the Tardis team and sets up 50 years of adventure. Iconic in many ways, a cultural milestone. I love it!

@DrWhoWorldwide The Daleks is slow and ponderous yet remains one of my favourite tales. The cast sell it with complete conviction.

@DrWhoWorldwide the story that catapulted the doctor into folklore. Without the success of the Daleks there would be no doctor who.
