This is one of the few Dalek stories that I really LOVE! The Daleks are genuinly threatening throughout and story concept is brilliant. The fact that two significant characters are killed off is a brilliant thing that I think lacks from modern DW. These days it seems no matter how much peril people are in, you pretty much know the main guys will survive, and even if they don't, they eventually will (Jack & Rory for example). Katerina, after only being in one previous story gets bumped which I think at the time you just wouldn't have seen coming. And then they go for the double wammy and kill off Sara too. Brilliant!

It could have been shorter, but they don't waste loads of story time with filler bits like they do in a lot of the old stories. As Chris said, ten episodes would have been perfect. 3 months of watching one story must have been quite a risk back then but I think it paid off. Its just a shame so much of it is missing.

Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and The Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.
