Although it had been half-revealed by the trailers the BBC released in the build-up to the new series, the grand unveiling of Skaro didn’t lose any of its impact. Because, well, it’s Skaro!

Although one of the most infamous planets in the show’s universe, Skaro hasn’t appeared all that much on screens, and its last appearance was a fleeting one in Asylum of the Daleks.

Colony Sarff takes the Doctor and friends there after capturing them, and it plays out brilliantly, with even Missy understanding the gravity of the situation and the danger the planet holds. We’re back on the planet of the Daleks, where they’re at their most powerful, and it’s not going to go well for our heroes.
