Product Description

Doctor Who: Day of the Daleks (DVD)

On Earth in the 22nd century, Daleks have enslaved the planet, and humans live in fear of their masters. Meanwhile, back in the 20th century, a peace conference is urgently needed to prevent World War Three. When reports reach UNIT of a ghost at Auderly House – the site for the conference – the Doctor and Jo decide to investigate. Danger is waiting for them there, including a trip two hundred years into the future without the TARDIS.

Daleks. A dark future. Time Travelers trying to stop the future that they started...confusing, no? The story is simple. World War Three somehow happened, started by a peace conference gone wrong in the 20th Century. The Daleks, of course, invade Earth. Again. And now human freedom fighters are trying to change the future into something better by coming back to kill the DOCTOR. HA! Didn't see that coming, did you? Well, yeah, they think he is somebody else but it still almost happens.
The feel of this story out-weighs the sad special effects. The plot and many themes help support a wonderful story about trying to save the future or trying to change the past. It depends on your point of view. The scenes of future Earth make me thing of 1984 and the Ogrons are an interesting idea as allies...er..thugs for the Daleks. They ARE loyal. Which helps the Daleks as there is only three of them on Earth. Oh, I mean millions of Daleks. Yeah, right.
It is also kind of nice to see the Daleks for the first time, in color, even if they don't really look that interesting. The Day of the Daleks Special Edition also makes for a wonderful extra - the remaking, with better effects - of the WHOLE story! There are other extras and, frankly, I loved the set. I think the story is one of the best Dalek story EVER.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great example of what made the golden age of Doctor Who....Golden!!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2011

I will keep this review short so you can go right to clicking the pre-order button to the right of your screen. This is one of the best Jon Pertwee episodes, easily one of the best Dalek episodes (with or without Davros... He is not in this one) and one the best Overall Doctor Who episodes (of any Doctor) ever made. Louis Marks script is so smartly written and paced that you never lose interest. The story takes place over two different time zones in Earth's history: Present day on the verge of World War 3 and 200 years in the future where the Daleks have enslaved humanity. Marks "Time Paradox" concept is mind blowing/boggling and will keep you thinking long after the final credits roll. Pertwee has completely mastered the lead role by this point and the Doctor/Companion relationship with Jo Grant is brilliant. This was the first time the Daleks ever appeared in color (on TV that is) and it did not disappoint then nor will it almost 40 years later. Be sure to watch for The Ogrons who are the servants/henchman for the Daleks in future and past. They are one of the best aliens ever created for the program. Their costumes, mannerisms and dialect make them completely believable as aliens (Petwee himself admitted in several interviews that they were the best alien he preformed with/against). In short if you ever wonder why the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker Era are considered the "Golden Age" of Doctor Who than this episode is exhibit A (or B, C and D)......Are you still reading this review? Stop immediately and pre-order this episode.
Enjoy the Show!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can the future change or doomed to repeat itself?
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2011

In the 20th century a well repected man of the United Nations Sir Reginald Styles is considered the most hated man in the 22nd century. IN the 20th century he was spearheading a plea for the chinese delgate to sit down to peace talks within the eastern part of the world. What Sir Styles doesn't know is he's being hunted by ghost from the future. U.N.I.T recives word from his assitant that they need more security and fears for his safety. The Bragider sends Captain Yates and Sgt. Benton along with The Doctor and Jo Grant to bolster security and let the Doctor see if in fact ghost are haunting him. What they discover is schocking rebels from the future who belive that by killing Styles the world will change and save the future they know. What the Doctor doesn't know is that humanity is under the grip of The Daleks and they will do anything to keep the future they have as the true future. With the aid of thier Ogron forces and human slaves the Daleks will stop at nothing even going into the past and stopping the confrence itself.
With that said this Pertwee era dvd is jammed packed with so many extras that its worth the price and watching no less then two times. The version with commetrey and the movie version with updated effects and voices. Of all the Pertwee era this one takes the cake. So sit back and watch Day of the Daleks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not so Special Special Edition? Actually it is very special and not in a short bus kind of way

This turned out to be an interesting find for me. I started off buying all the Special editions first. This release is not mentioned as a Special Edition. So I was surprised to find two disks in the box. Disk 1 being the original release and Disk 2 is actually marked Special Edition. Turns out this is a fairly nice Special Edition. The "Specially Shot Sequences" didn't do much for me until I went back and watched the original, turns out they add more than I thought. What makes it interesting is that they are subtle. They really don't stand out. Also the special features on the 2nd disk were pretty kool. Ok as usual I will skip the plot and tell you what you get with this release.

Disk 1
4 episodes and Special Features

Special Features include:
Audio Commentary
Blasting the past (Making of)

The first story from Jon Pertwee's third year as Doctor Who comes to dvd, with all four twenty five minute long episodes complete on one disc.

There's much more to this release than that, though. But more about that in a moment.

What better way to grab the attention of the viewers and get some publicity for a new season of the show than by bringing back an old monster? At the time this was shown it was the first time that the Daleks had been seen for five years.

The story sees present day [as it was then] Earth on the brink of war. With vital peace conferences being threatened when the one diplomat who can make them work is threatened by mysterious soldiers. Who vanish into thin air. The Doctor and UNIT are called into investigate. And the former finds himself two hundred years in the future. In a nightmare future world where humanity are the slaves of the Daleks.

It's all connected to the peace conference. But as the Doctor knows, the web of time can be a very tricky thing....

The format for these years was well established by this time, and all involved are at the top of their game. Trying hard to be full of action and intrigue it does pretty well at both - although some suspension of disbelief is required for a bike chase sequence - and the central idea is a piece of genuine science fiction. It's not entirely original, but it's something the show hadn't really done before. So it works fine.

Like most season openers it's not the greatest story ever. But it's a very good one. And a great representation of a great era.

The one trouble it does have is that the Dalek voices don't sound right at all. But...more on that in a moment.

The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:

Languages: English.

Subtitles: English.

English audio captioned.

Extras are as follows:

A commentary from two of the cast, and three of the crew.

A thirty five minute long [approx] making of documentary. A very good and in depth one, as well.

A view from the gallery: This runs for nineteen minutes and sees producer of the story Barry Letts and another member of the crew revisit bbc tv studios and reminiscence. It's clearly a labour of love for all involved but it's all a bit dry and technical so may not appeal to all.

Nationwide: A four minute long clip from the 1970's version of the one show, showing schoolchildren who won a competition to obtain their very own dalek - which is not full sized - and their reaction to it. It will bring back memories of the 70's for many.

Blue Peter: a clip of egual length from a 1970's edition with Peter Purves remembering his time on the show as a companion, complete with a clip from a first doctor story that he was in. And the Daleks in the Blue Peter Studio.

Radio times listings for the story as PDF files.

Production information subtitles.

A photo gallery of images from the story and it's production.

And a trailer for the next dvd release in this range.

And that's just disc one of this two disc release.

Disc two contains:

A new version of the story. As ever with classic who the budget and the visual effects weren't quite enough to match the vision of the script. So this tries to address that. Adding in new specially shot sequences that seamlessly match in with the original to make the battle scenes better and to get more Daleks on the screen. And one which has the current actor who does the Dalek voices do them. And make them sound right.

Extras are:

A making of documentary about the special edition. It runs for fifteen minutes [approx] and shows how it was all done. And how little of it was with computer graphics. So it's an interesting watch.

Now and then: is a four minute long look at the locations from the story as they were when it was filmed and as they are now. Those that the film makers can get to, that is....

The UNIT family: Part two.
Second in a series of features about the Pertwee years - part one was on  Doctor Who - Inferno [DVD] [1970 ] which came out a few years back - this runs for thirty minutes - approx - and has cast and crew from the time telling tales of the making of each story from the start of Jon Pertwee's second year to the end of his fourth. Some stories get more of these than others thus it does rather gallop through the middle of the period it covers. But it has lots to interest in it and is well worth a watch. You might get something in your eye when it discusses Roger Delgado's death, though.

The UNIT dating conundrum is ten minute long feature that looks at the old question that has bedevilled Doctor Who fandom for years. In what years are the UNIT stories set? It takes a wry and humourous look at this and is very good fun.

The cheating memory is a feature of equal length and asks why our childhood memories of certain stories don't match up to them when we see them again for the first time in year. It offers some interesting answers as to how memory works.

And there's also a short trailer that was made and issued especially to publicise this special edition.

A very good story. A special edition. A great lot of extras. It all adds up to a five star release.
