  • This is a real good one: pretty good pacing, pretty good visuals, pretty good score. It's the total package!

  • Lousy title, though.

  • Apparently, Beatles music was cheaper in the 80s.

  • The little girl who gets plugged into the Dalek machine is great. She's got my vote for next Davros.

  • The Hand of Omega (that's OH-migga, mind you) macguffin is pretty deftly handled. It's a piece of machinery Omega used when he created the power source. No need for an overly long explanation of....gestures at the other two serials.

  • The Doctor hid the Hand of Omega on Earth in 1963, and guarded it for less than a month before taking off for several lifetimes. That...tracks.

  • That Mike fellow is a handsome twerp.

  • "I never really wanted to hurt anybody. It's just you have to protect your own, keep the outsiders out just that your own people can have a fair chance." Jeeze, when did Doctor Who get so woke?

  • The Doctor waffles a lot on the Dalek-killing issue. Mostly, he seems fine with it as long as he's the one pulling the trigger.

  • Skaro has been destroyed! We shall never see it again!

There's so much to like about this one, and really about most of the 7/Ace run. It was a big step up from the fairly rubbish stories that Colin Baker had to work with. Most of all, though — Ace beating the shit out of a Dalek with a baseball bat. You go, girl.

The improvement in quality, from the script to the overall production values, is stunning.

TBF, I think this stands out in terms of production as it was an informal 25th anniversary serial. Hence the return to 1963 Totter's Lane, and the peculiar meta moment when the BBC's new science fiction show is introduced on TV...
