Third: Death to the Daleks

Writer: Terry Nation

Director: Michael E. Briant

Producer: Barry Letts

Companion: Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen)

Series: 11, ep. 3 (11-14)

Summary: The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on the planet Exxilon, where Daleks and a human expedition are fighting over a mineral that is in abundance.

Review: This was a good story with a dark premise. There are heavy stakes and it doesn’t lag. I thought it was interesting that the Daleks were depowered for most of the story.

I thought the ending for this was great. I liked that for once, it seemed as if a story that didn’t end with the Doctor necessarily winning.

I think this story was slightly flawed, but I really enjoyed it.

Grade: B
