Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) was the first time Doctor Who was ever seen in colour. Having invented the TARDIS, a strange machine capable of travelling into other dimensions, the Doctor 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, a merciless force of destruction known as the Daleks!
The second film, Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. sees Cushing return to the big screen – the future of Planet Earth now belongs to the Daleks, but deep within the London Underground a group of resistance freedom fighters are planning an attack. Can the Doctor help them succeed in destroying their extra-terrestrial enemies and take back control of Earth?
Dr. Who and the Daleks 4K Collector’s Edition, and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. 4K Collector’s Edition are available for pre-order now.
