Movie Reviews of Doctor Who: Resurrection of the Daleks (Story 134)
Movie Review: The Daleks must liberate Davros
Summary: 5 Stars
While I am not a fan of Davros I find it amusing that the Daleks themselves were not really too happy about rescuing the mad scientist. Even if he was their creator they have finally started to understand that he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket. If you know what I mean.
Lots of action, clones, time travel and lots of bloody combat scenes. Also this DVD has some very interesting extras, some from 1984 and 1986 plus commentary from Peter Davison and Janet Fielding. Really enjoyed the deleted or extended scenes and always enjoy hearing about the events behind the scenes. It is always fun to know what they wanted and what they ended up with because of funding issues and bad luck.
Summary of Doctor Who: Resurrection of the Daleks (Story 134)
Trapped in a time corridor, the TARDIS veers off course, emerging in London's deserted docklands. In the far future, a prison ship in deep space comes under attack. These two remote events are linked by one terrible purpose. Davros, the ruthless creator of the Daleks, has been liberated after 90 years of imprisonment to assist in the resurrection of his Dalek army. He's their best hope for finding the antidote to the deadly anti-Dalek virus devised by their longtime robotic rivals, the Movellans. Davros sets about his appointed task with a secret agenda of his own - one that may force the Doctor to descend to Davros's level of evil.DVD Features:

Production Notes
Resurrection of the Daleks marked Doctor Who's first encounter with his most famous foe since 1979's Destiny of the Daleks five years earlier, and Peter Davison's only full-scale battle with the cybernetic aliens. Weakened by a Movellan virus, the Daleks assault a space station prison where Davros is being held. The Daleks plan to use duplicates of the Doctor and his companions to assassinate leading Time Lords, and further duplicates to take over the Earth. The action is split between the space station and abandoned London riverside warehouses, and is notable for its grim tone and high body count. The duplicate police-assassins recall the Autons from the Jon Pertwee Spearhead from Space adventure (1970) and proved controversial on original broadcast. Also notable is that although the show was designed as a four-part adventure, it was televised in two double-length episodes.
This edition presents the story in the original four parts. Meanwhile there are more than the usual number of name guest stars, including Rodney Bewes, Rula Lenska, and Lesley Grantham. The tale also marks Janet Fielding's final appearance as Tegan. In every respect this is a key adventure in the history of Doctor Who, even if the tense, incident-packed story is ultimately weighed down by too many elements to resolve them all satisfactorily. --Gary S.
