this was one of my favourite doctor who stories when i was little so it is hard for me to look at it with out fondness but i think it still holds up well today the begining has always stayed in my mind the tardis loses all power and crashes on a alien planet which looks like a rock quarri ha ha the doors dont workso thek have to use a car crank to open the door the doctor and sarah jane the same sarah from the new series get separated when sarah gets back to the tardis she is attacked inside where up until then had always been a safe place and gets away the rest of the story is great doctor who while sarah is captured by the alien natives and is going to be sacrificeed doctor meets some space travellers who need a mineral to cure a disease that is killing millions and then another space ship lands with guess what daleks on it but the thing that is draining power from all the space ships making them land on the planet is draining power from them and there guns dont work it was this part that must of inspired the part in the new series episode dalek where the dalek's gun did not work the two scenes are so much alike after the doctor and the space travellers try to work with the daleks [that was never going to work] doctor and sarah get back together and meet up with some of the of the more friendlier inhabitants planet who explain that the thing that is draining all the power is a living city that turned on the people who made it while the doctor and there new alien friend whos costume is not that bad work there way in to the city by having to solve series of intelligence tests sarah trys to stop the daleks from getting the life saving mineral to blak mail those who need it when the doctor finally gets to the brain of the city the city stats to make two mutants to stop the doctor i still rameber being scared of that bit when i was little in the end one of the humans who through the story had made you think he was a real ratbag surprises you by a heroic sacrifice to finally stop the daleks this is a really good doctor who story the music score in it is very different then most doctor who story's in a good way the special effects hold up well enough well they could be a lot worse but the dalek saucer is terrible the doctor and sarah jane are great together in this story both actors are at there best and the story its self is a bit dark but not to dark and the idea of daleks having to use regular guns because they dont have power for lasers was memorable all and all doctor who at its best even by today standardsRead full review
