Having invented the TARDIS, a strange machine capable of travelling into other dimensions, the Dr. and his three young accomplices set forth on a quest through time and space. Their journey takes them into the dark, undiscovered depths of the universe and to the planet of Skaro, a primitive world devastated by nuclear war and populated by two warring species, a peaceful tribe known as Thals and a life form heavily mutated by radiation, encased in protective machines, merciless force of destruction known as The Daleks!

The film version of the long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who doesn't stick to the established mythology of the show at all and goes its own way. This time the Doctor is not an eccentric alien, but a kindly grandfatherly inventor. The reworked widescreen version from studio Amicus is more family-friendly, but still manages to entertain with a decent dose of infantile fun with tongue-in-cheek humour and a wacky production design that plunges you into a childish world where all you have to do is pull a single lever in a time machine and you’ll find yourself in a world of blinking, pepper-mill-shaped robots that shout at you in metallic voices, “Exterminate! Exterminate!”.
