Trivia:
The screenplay to this film was credited to producer Milton Subotsky, with additional material by David Whitaker. In fact, Dalek creator Terry Nation only agreed to license his teleplay to Subotsky if Whitaker (who was Nation's script editor when he wrote the original teleplay) was hired to adapt it. A deal was therefore struck that would allow Subotsky to receive the credit despite the screenplay actually being written by Whitaker. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Ian is hanging over the edge of the large drop they have just crossed, his shirt sleeve is almost torn off. When they enter the Dalek base five minutes later, it is miraculously repaired. moreFAQ

This is a fair attempt at capturing the series on film. Missed the noise of the tardis though - this one was silent.
Not too sure about the daleks either. How did they build their cities? they don't really look cut out for labouring. And the way they were so easily defeated by a tribe of camp hairdressers wasn't so convincing. Loved the lava lights though, made the set look like a nineties bachelor pad.
Fortunately Roy Castle wasn't required to use his talents and we didn't get any tap-dancing or trumpet playing. Peter Cushing made a good doctor and the sets were all right in a pantomime sort of way. Won't be surprised to see a big Hollywood remake in the not too distant future
