The second Dr Who feature film which, on the whole, is marginally better than the first released a year earlier. For one thing Bernard Cribbins is on hand to supply the comic element. The result is a magnificently dated piece of crude British sci-fi fare which will appeal to children immensely. And it's surely worth adults watching just to hear the classic line: 'We'll have to bypass Watford - the place is full of Daleks'. Peter Cushing reprises his role as the charismatic Time Lord, fitting the part like a glove. He was surely one of the most convincing holders of the sonic screwdriver.
