It’s Terry Nation’s Greatest Hits as we discuss Planet of the Daleks – a story where he appears to have put all of his favourite past plot points in a hat, drawn them out at random, and attempted to make a coherent story out of the results! Join us as we keep track of the TerryTropes and discuss, among other things, whether or not this makes for a good story.

Over the course of the episode, Reilly expresses the opinion that this is one of the most disgusting Doctor Who serials we’ve covered to date, Julie gets excited about woodwind, Anthony tries to argue that there is a reasonable (albeit poorly represented) connection with Frontier in Space, and Don digs out Terry Nation’s original titles for each individual episode. The entire cast discuss how frustrating Vaber’s general anger issues are.
