Day of the Daleks
Notes
For conversion into full article:
- Why does someone who supposedly requires security have unlocked french windows on his ground floor office? Surely it would make more sense to work from a higher floor.
- The orange CSO effect which acts as the background to the future Doctor and Jo seems to be permanent - still in effect when the Brigadier enters.
- Why is it always the Chinese delegation which causes problems? Same happens in The Mind of Evil.
- Special 'effect' of the Controller's chair is cringeworthy, he clearly has to move it with his heels.
- Banter between the Doctor and the Brigadier is excellent in this, and they work well as a team.
- Dalek voices are rubbish, sound like they have a sore throat.
- Dalek 'reveal' is terrible, no build up, no suspense, not even a cliffhanger. Admittedly the title gives away the main enemy but The Tomb of the Cybermen does a better job.
- Both Benton and Yates are prepared to drink red wine whilst on duty, surely a court-martial offence?
- 'Rank has its privileges' is a great line from Yates.
