Review The Dominators (1968)

[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this story....

The TARDIS arrives on the planet Dulkis where the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie decide to have a quiet holiday. Only to find the Evil Dominators and their robotic slaves, The Quarks have arrived on a radioactive island, where they plan to detonate a bomb in the planet's core, which will turn the entire planet as source of radioactive fuel for their invasion fleet.

This was always a bit of a "meh" story for me. Most of the time I was rooting for the Dominators given how pathetic the Dulkin? people were.

Five episodes of largely tedium.

I think the Quarks had potential. It sure wasn't realised here though.

Of course, Derek Sherwin went and made a deal with a comic behind the backs of the two writers for the use of the Quarks. After the writers complained, Sherwin got a right royal telling off and hated the two writers with a vengeance second only to Khan Noonian thereafter.
