ANZAC DAY, APRIL 25
DR WHO AND THE DALEKS (1965) TV2 goes back to the beginning for this big-screen spin-off from the BBC serial of the early 1960s, and many of the familiar TV characters are substantially changed. Peter Cushing moves over from his horror roles to be the inventive and absent-minded Dr Who. His two grand-daughters, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey, and the elder's boyfriend, Roy Castle, join in the adventure when Dr Who's time machine takes them to a planet where the Daleks are planning to destroy the peace-loving Thals. The four intrepid earthlings manage to ensure good triumphs over evil in this acceptable juvenile entertainment. The heavy-handed attempts at humour make it less suitable for adult fanciers of science fiction, though the Daleks are admirable villains.
