[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this story....

A time corridor forces the Doctor to the London docklands on present-day Earth where a bomb squad watches over some strange, alien canisters. At the other end, a battle cruiser lunches an assault on a prison space station that holds just one prisoner - Davros, creator of the Daleks.

Great at the time. Now all those relentless chorus line deaths seem meaningless and shaving foam still haunts the show from TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN.

Lytton doesn't really meet the Doctor in this, yet they know everything about one another in ATTACK.

Saward really did love his characters more than he did the regulars.

Looking at it now, it seems to be a huge budget Hollywood blockbuster made for a tenner.

Davros a bit too shouty in this incarnation, although perhaps the 90 years have driven him truly insane.

Being novelised, at last......


The universe is at war. Action takes courage.

The TARDIS is ensnared in a time corridor, catapulting it into derelict docklands on 20th century Earth. The Doctor and his companions, Tegan and Turlough, stumble on a warehouse harbouring fugitives from the future at the far end of the corridor – and are soon under attack from a Dalek assault force.

The Doctor’s oldest enemies have set in motion an intricate and sinister plot to resurrect their race from the ashes of an interstellar war. For the Daleks’ plans to succeed, they must set free their creator, Davros, from a galactic prison – and force the Doctor to help them achieve total control over time and space. But the embittered Davros has ideas of his own…

35 years after its first TV transmission, Doctor Who fan-favourite Resurrection of the Daleks is novelised at last, by the author of the original script, Eric Saward.
