4.0 out of 5 stars Very clever story to return the daleks, 18 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Ironically, Dr Who had never touched a "time paradox" story before, and so Day of the Daleks, a cleverly scripteed and handsomely produced story, is thus especially satsifying. The future earth scenario is beleivably downbeat, and the polished metallic sets are excellent. Acting is top-drawer too, with honours going to Aubrey Woods as the oily Controller, a scheming puppet dictator with a vestige of humanity at his core. The gradual realization that the rebels are trapped in a time loop of their own making is extremely effective and leads to all sorts of weighty questions about cause and effect that would be revisited years later with the Terminator films. The letdowns of course are the daleks - static, poorly vocalised, and few in number, they are a pale shadow of their 1960s selves. However, the clever and engaging script and introduction of the wonderful ogrons as the daleks' "guard dogs" to the series make this a very enjoyable story.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Daleks return!, 8 Sep 2006
The ninth season of Doctor Who opened with a group of guerillas from earth in the twenty-third century, travelling back three hundred years in time. Their mission is to assassinate a British diplomat and sabotage a peace process. They believe that by doing so, they can prevent a great terror in the future.
The Daleks return to Doctor Who after a five year absence. This is an enjoyable, if not classic, adventure from Pertwee's era. Pertwee and the regulars are all on fine form. A special mention must go to Aubrey Woods for a memorable strong performance as the Controller in the future earth, who must wrestle with his conscience. This was also the story which introduced the brutal Ogrons.
There are some disappointments. The Dalek voices are different, and not so effective as in earlier and later stories. The final Dalek assualt in twentieth-century earth is an anti-climax, which may be owing to a lack of Dalek models available. You may also note some poor editing at the beginning of episodes 2 and 3, which leaves the initial sting of the closing theme music from the previous episodes.
Overall though, a very good story. None of Pertwee's three Dalek stories have made it onto DVD yet, so this would make a good release. Until then though, if your a fan of Doctor Who it's worth trying to track down a video copy, for a good evening's entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pertwee's first against the daleks, 15 Aug 2005
By P. N. Hussey "pnh77" (Haywards Heath, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jon Pertwee's first Doctor Who adventure against the Daleks is pretty standard stuff. it's neither totally bad nor totally good to be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed it but I have seen better. Still a worthy addition to anyone's Doctor Who collection.
