Doctor Who:
Death to The Daleks
By
Terry Nation
Review By Will Barber
The Doctor: It's rather a
pity, in a way...now the universe is down to 699 wonders.
An energy drain makes
uneasy allies of the Third Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, a Marine Space Corps
expedition and a squadron of Daleks.
They are trapped on the planet Exxilon with its hostile natives. The key
to escape lies at the heart of a powerful and mysterious lost city but only
after a series of deadly traps.
Death to the Daleks is a
serial about death and dying. It starts
off when the TARDIS loses power and crashes. Indeed, it seems like the TARDIS
is dead. Whether it is the Exillions, the Daleks, or the city itself, the plot
echoes the theme of the end of life and the beginning of another, possibly
reflecting the fact that this was one of the last times that we would enjoy The
Third Doctor.
