 Dr Who - Death to the Daleks August 19, 2003
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have all the best period of Doctor Who on video, which was the 1970's. I bought Death to the Daleks back in 88. It is still one of my top Pertwee stories. This 1974 adventure has plenty of atmosphere. Dark landscapes. An amazing white city. The more classical soundtrack music is one of the best, and it helps the story. The story is strong. The exilions and the adventure into the city is very good. It's a definate must to own. I always enjoy watching it.

This is a great Jon Pertwee adventure. The third Doctor at his most noble and gentleman like having verbal battles with the Daleks, trying to sort out a scientfic problem and ensure that the good guys get away with the life saving drugs they need and on top of all that a little humour thrown in. Elizabeth Sladen is great as our intrepid journalist Sarah Jane Smith thrown in the deep end by the Doctor as per usual going through all sorts of experiences and still battling on and replying to the Doctor's one liners. The majority of the Space Corps are forgettable the only exception being the single minded Galloway who will stop at nothing to get the Parrinium played by Duncan Lamont. Add to that the atmospheric surface Exillons' temple, the rather sweet Balal and the moment when 2 Daleks look at each other and lower their eyestalks after one of their number is destroyed by the City and you've got a sure winner. I've only got one question, why did they call it 'Death to the Daleks'?
Excellent and under rated June 9, 2006

I bought the video because I wanted to see what Pertwee's last season was like with Sarah Jayne. After hearing bad things about Pertwee's last season, I was pleasantly surprised. Sarah Jayne was no doubt a big improvement on Jo Grant. The story begins when the Doctor and Sarah crash land on an eerie dark planet which has drained their power so it begins very atmospheric and scary, and is a pretty grippping story throughout. The sets and effects are actually quite impressive, especially when the root comes out of the ground and destroys a dalek. Just overlook the dodgy model work when the city collapses at the end. This is a unique Pertwee story because it is a rare occasion when the story isn't Earth based with no Brigidier. If only more Pertwee stories had been like that. This was produced by Barry Letts who left at the end of the season but it does actually feel very similar to a Philip Hinchcliffe episode. However, the differences are there, as Philip Hinchcliffe was to bring more grittiness, gothic horror and more death and destruction in the season that followed. For me, this is one of the best Pertwee episodes and deserves a DVD release!
Not the best Dr but still a thoroughly entertaining story May 2, 2001

Before I bought this video I read many reviews, most of which described it as a weaker dalek story, but I must disagree. It is a thoroughly enjoyable story and a classic Who story at that.Whilst Jon Pertwee isn't the best Doctor, this is one of his better stories and Death to The Daleks features Sarah Jane Smith, who in my opinion with Harry Sullivan, were the best companions. Even though the Daleks lose power and their weapons are rendered useless, they still manage to kill in the classic style with their altered weaponry. A Dalek story without killing would not be a Dalek story! The dalek models in this are brilliant, they glide smoothly along the ground and at a nice speed to. The only minus point in my view is that the human base is way toooo seventies. Overall, thouroughly good entertainment. A must for Dalek and Who fans. Brilliant!
 Definately one of the better Dalek stories in the series February 6, 2002

Even though I was young when I saw this story, I still now find it entertaining. The story sets on a planet where power is absorbed by the beacon of a city, and so the daleks are rendered inable to kill, leading to an interesting alliance to say the least. I still enjoy this story even now, and although Jon Pertwee is not my favourite Doctor, I will never forget the commentary on the dalek battle with the underground robot. "Good shot, sir!", "A hit! Yes...a palpable hit!" and the classic "Well, it obviously wasn't fond of me, but it positively hated the dalek!"
