Review of Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) by Allan C — 19 Nov 2017
Weird non-cannon Dr. Who film had potential with the casting of Peter Cushing as The Doctor. However, the film strays so much from it's source material that it becomes more of a Jules Verne type of Victorian adventure tale than a piece of contemporary science fiction, which Whovians would come to expect.
The Doctor is no longer an alien Time Lord and is now a human doctor named Dr. Who, who invents the Tardis. Cushing travels to an alien planet and must battle Daleks, which do look the same as in the TV series.
If you'd never seen the TV series, this would probably be a pretty entertaining film, but anyone hoping to see something similar or even remotely like the TV series is going to be sadly disappointed.
