''Invasion'' obviously featured the return of the [[Dalek]]s, who had proven quite popular when they first appeared in [[season 1]]. [[Terry Nation|Nation]], again, wrote the script, this time bringing the Daleks to [[Earth]].

During filming, [[William Hartnell]] fell after the ramp of the [[Dalek flying saucer]], down which he was being carried by [[Richard McNeff]] (Baker), suddenly collapsed. Hartnell fell on a metal camera stand, landing awkwardly on his spine. Although he was temporarily paralysed, he recovered sufficiently to continue the recording, but it was decided he should have the following week off to recover from the bruised back he had sustained. | During filming, [[William Hartnell]] fell after the ramp of the [[Dalek flying saucer]], down which he was being carried by [[Richard McNeff]] (Baker), suddenly collapsed.
