Episode 88: The C-Team Daleks (Death to the Daleks)

Terry Nation is BACK with Death to the Daleks, so we have to discuss it in our latest podcast episode, The C-Team Daleks, in which we attempt to answer the ultimate question – “Is Terry Nation taking the piss?” Additional questions asked include “why can’t he write for women?” and “is this bad, or is this good?” Listen in to hear us fail to definitively answer any of these questions!

 

During the episode, Julie questions the choice of musical theme for the Daleks, Anthony appreciates Michael Briant’s moments of enjoyably heavy-handed direction, Reilly discovers that he’s only grossed out by visuals and not sound, and Don compares Terry Nation to a toy collector. The entire team debates the existence of a character called Jack (#JusticeForJack).
