Synopsis

Plot

Policeman Tom Campbell (Cribbins) stumbles into the TARDIS on a normal day and ends up being taken to 2150 A.D, by Dr. Who (Cushing). The future seems to be deserted, but the group soon finds out that the world is currently being controlled by the evil DALEKS. Those who have still survived are in hiding, to prevent them from being turned into Robomen. Dr. Who teams up with the survivors in order to take down the Daleks.

Filming Locations

Plot Holes, Errors and Mistakes

  • When the van rams through the ranks of blue/silver Daleks in the street, some of those knocked flying and destroyed are clearly seen to be completely empty casings.
  • Wires are visible on the Dalek saucer in almost all shots of it flying.
  • When the red Dalek falls down the shaft, there is a very clear shot of its base with three small furniture casters (though it must be a dummy, as there is no hole for the operator's feet to protrude).
  • Observing the Dalek saucer, the Doctor notes that it seems to be landing in the vicinity of Sloane Square. There is then a lengthy shot in which it is shown to be continuing in level flight for what must be several miles over London (with no apparent intention of landing) before we finally get a close-up of it descending.
  • The Dalek mine is set in Bedfordshire. We see the encampment with high mountains beyond. Bedfordshire is a county of low rolling hills, with virtually no rock.
  • The Dalek in the Thames does not flash its lights when addressing the Robomen. (The casing did not contain an operator, and therefore no one to operate the lights.)
  • Why isn't there an explanation for Ian and Barbara's absence?they were in the 1st film Funny thing about that is this is not William Hartnell's version of the Doctor nor does this event happen in the normal Doctor Who world
