There seems to be a lot of random killing in this episode e.g. the police shooting two people running from them right at the start of episode 1. This is just one instance and there are many other places where people are just gunned down. The plot itss...more

If this late Dalek serial were to be rated based on body count alone, it would be a damn fine episode. As it stands, Peter Davison’s solitary clash with the Doctor’s most popular foes continues right where Terry Nation signed off with his disappointing swan song ‘Destiny of the Daleks’ and forms the second entirely mediocre Dalek story of the 1980s, a trend that would only be broken with a final, surprising success in the Sylvester McCoy era, when Ben Aaronovitch made the wise decision of ignoring the stagnant continuity that was so tediously built up across these tales in the series’ twilight years (before it, too, was resurrected, of course). With 1984’s ... Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of Peter Davison and I love the Daleks, so the chance to combine them is always a great treat for me. When our copy of The Resurrection of the Daleks DVD arrived I was really looking forward to it. We always pre-order our DVDs from Blackstar and when one of their padded envelopes is delivered we know we have something good to watch that evening. I remember watching Resurrection on TV, but it had been a while ago so it was going to be nice to relive those memories again. If you don't want to read the plot outline, then it's now the time to make a cup of tea and rejoin in three paragraphs time. This story sees the fifth Doctor (Peter ... Read the complete review

What I am reviewing is the Doctor Who DVD "Resurrection of the Daleks" Broadcast 8-15 Feb 1984 Ratio 4.3 Mono or Dolby Digital sound Running time 100 mins Well it had to happen sooner or later, the current Doctor has to face his old enemies the Daleks. Peter Davison was nearing his end of his reign as the Doctor as were Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson as his two companions Tegan and Turlough. There had to be something about this new Dalek story that would keep people watching, mind you they were due a good welcome back to TV having not been seen since the Tom Baker story "Destiny of the ...

A nasty one in my mind. Also pretty weird. This time in Doctor Who was always quite gritty, but that's not what I have the problem with. For example Revelation of the Daleks is an excellent story that's deeply unsettling. This story of Peter Davison vs. the Daleks though I just don't like. The plot is set on Earth in 1984 and focusses on a group of mercenaries from Earth's future. They turn out to have not very good intentions though and are planning to free the creator of the Daleks known as Davros. There's been a virus developed that kills Daleks and Davros has to find a cure. On top of this Davros also wants to create new Daleks that obey him as well as ... Read the complete review
