    Nick Briggs says that the tests in the Exilon city are straight out of the Doctor Who annual.

    I thought this was apt, because the final test of any Doctor Who annual would be an assault on your sanity.

    Nice graphics on the documentary.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I miss Jill Harrison.

    Filming Doctor Who is never as exciting as you think is it? You'd imagine it would be thrilling and dynamic and funny but it's just a lot of tense, bored actors standing around waiting for cues. Still, Jon Pertwee seems very chipper on the studio day we join here.

    The Daleks Movie footage is very, very sparse. There's only about 20 seconds of it! But it was a lovely touch to speak to Gordon Flemying's son (the actor from Primeval, who knew?). Marcus Hearn looks like an unwell Mekon.

    I've hugely enjoyed watching this story again. Nick Briggs is right in the documentary - there is a cosy familiarity about a Terry Nation script. This one has so many lovely ingredients - a desolate planet (great eerie radiophonic effects, and the early shots on location with dry ice billowing over the ground are incredibly strange and beautiful), Daleks without firepower, strange creatures and a living city. Pertwee is actually having a great time, as witnessed by his jollity in the studio sequences, and I love the ambitious sequences of Daleks blowing up and the root snaking out the lake. It's all hugely fun and imaginatively well directed.

    Yes, as usual there's echoes of lots of familiar things here, but it's all brilliantly done. Just a great little story.
