Planet of the Daleks

Planet of the Daleks is occasionally dismissed by reviewers for being somewhat of a retread of the first Daleks story. They're not wrong, but I still enjoyed Planet of the Daleks far more than Frontier in Space. Written by Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, Planet of the Daleks has interesting locations, characters, and plot developments. And our main characters are only captured and imprisoned briefly. This could have easily been a standalone story, the connections to Frontier in Space are minimal. My one complaint: the Spiridons sound too much like the Ice Warriors

Rating: That's nice%
