Doctor Who: 5 Reasons To Remember The Dalek Invasion Of Earth
Although all our attention is focused on the 50th anniversary itself, for me it is not until a year later that the show demonstrated that it had really found its feet. The story Dalek Invasion of Earth, broadcast between November -December 1964, is a landmark adventure in many ways, the best five of which I recollect in this article. I focus on the TV story, not the Peter Cushing film which (trivia alert) was sponsored by Sugar Puffs and also has a great deal of product placement once you start looking for it! As a further vote for the importance of this episode we already know that it features prominently in the documentary an Adventure in Space and Time. If it's good enough for Mark Gatiss, it's good enough for me!
