The sequel to Dr. Who and the Daleks follows in its predecessor's footsteps: Peter Cushing is Dr Who, the Daleks are being nefarious and the whole thing is in colour!

Just as the first film was a remake of the TV episode The Daleks, this is a remake of the second Dalek story The Dalek Invasion Of Earth. In it, the Daleks have invaded Earth and are planning to excavate the core and turn the planet into a giant spaceship. Luckily, Dr Who is on hand to save the day with help from his granddaughter Susan, his niece Louise and a policeman called Tom Campbell.

Tropes used in this film:

• Alternate Continuity: Let us count the ways!
  • The character of the Time Lord known as The Doctor has become the human scientist called Dr Who
  • He has a niece as well as a granddaughter
  • His ship is known as TARDIS (note the lack of the definitive article)
• Cardboard Prison: Invoked by the Daleks as an intelligence test for captives.
• Compressed Adaptation: From six 25-minute episodes to one 81-minute film.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Louise and Tom replace Barbara and Ian.
• You Look Familiar, Albeit Much Older: Tom Campbell is played by Bernard Cribbins, who would reappear in Doctor Who as Wilfred Mott.
