This also is the first episode in which the Daleks are seen on Earth. This story sees several famous [[London]] landmarks appear. Most seem to be relatively unchanged two hundred years later. These landmarks include [[Big Ben]], the [[Houses of Parliament]] and [[Battersea Power Station]]. | This also is the first episode in which the Daleks are seen on Earth.

The dating of this story provides contradictory evidence. Ian finds a calendar with [[2164]] on it, but suggests it hasn't been used since the invasion began. A local states that the bombardment started ten years ago, putting it in at 2174, but in ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', the Doctor claims the invasion took place in 2157. Terry Nation once suggested it took place in 2142, but this seems to be an attempt to link the invasion to [[the Blitz]], the event on which it was supposedly based. The [[2014 (releases)|2014]] audio story ''[[Masters of Earth (audio story)|Masters of Earth]]'' uses 2164, being set in [[2163]] itself. In the [[2000 (releases)|2000]] audio story [[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|The Mutant Phase]] the Doctor says that the ''"The Dalek occupation of Earth was foiled in [[2167]],"'' implying that this story was set in that year. | The dating of this story provides contradictory evidence.

As with ''[[The Daleks]]'', this story was adapted into a movie entitled ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' However, it underperformed and so this was the last ''Doctor Who'' serial to be adapted for the cinema. | As with ''[[The Daleks]]'', this story was adapted into a movie entitled ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' However, it underperformed and so this was the last ''Doctor Who'' serial to be adapted for the cinema. | ||
