A Classic Rarely Matched
First up, the remaster is very good. Compared to my often watched VHS tapes, it's miles ahead, almost as if it was made recently but in black and white.
For some reason I always prefer the black and white Dalek stories to the colour ones - the Daleks seem to be more evil and scheming. The Dalek saying 'We are the masters of Earth, we are the masters of Earth' is so much scarier than the colour wobblers which appeared in later years.
The story is a true classic, one we can relate to because we know London. Strong performances from Hartnell, Russell and Wright all hit the mark while the secondary characters are also well written. The additional text commentary shows several interesting ideas which Terry Nation was thinking of putting into the script.
The all round package is superb. Credit to the BBC and the Restoration Team for a fantastic job - the best DVD release of 2003. -
