PLOT SUMMARY

A collection of clips and episodes featuring early appearances from Doctor Who's most famous monsters, the Daleks.

A worthy companion to Cybermen - The Early Years (1993) which kicks off with a potted recap of the creation of the Skaro scumbags before offering us rare glimpses of 'lost' stories, including the epic The Dalek Master Plan, the second Doctor's first encounter in The Power of the Daleks and The Evil of the Daleks. Also included is a brief out-take from The Five Doctors as well as enough ephemera (interviews with Terry Nation and Raymond Cusick among others, a BBC trailer for The Dalek Invasion of Earth, clips from Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD (1966) etc) to keep the fans enthralled.
