Really a highly underrated story. The Dalek parts themselves are pretty boring, which I think accounts for it being a pretty forgotten serial, but the overall plot with the Daleks traveling back in time from a future where they have conquered Earth is really good. Pertwee gets in some of his best angry zingers at the human bad guy, too.

The timeloop plot is there, too!

I really liked Day of the Daleks. I had an early VHS copy that was edited together (with faint cliffhanger stings intact!). Agree that the Dalek bits were pretty dull but I loved the stark atmosphere of Dalek-controlled future, the creepy Aubrey Woods and his lobotomised (robotised) workers. Three making himself at home and eating cheese in the big house was grand. I agree he was at the top of his zinger game across the board.

Am I right in remembering that the Daleks were shoe-horned into an unrelated Louis Marx script?
