 Watch this if you've forgotten how bad the 1970s was! July 11, 2002

Half a dozen "Space marines" in flared nylon tracksuits take on the Daleks (three of them, plus a few cardboard extras) and some extras in naff monster outfits. In a quarry. pIf anyone ever wanted to spoof 1970s Doctor Who it would probably come out like this. It has everything you'd expect: chanting alien priests, a handful of Daleks because they couldn't afford to make more than 3, dodgy flares, a spaceship made out of a lampshade, dodgy video effects with thick blue lines round the edges, quarries doubling as alien planets, a robot snake made out of vacuum cleaner tubing - this list goes on.pThe whole thing gives the impression of having come off a production line where the people making it had long since run out of ideas and money.
 Definately one of the better Dalek stories in the series February 6, 2002

Even though I was young when I saw this story, I still now find it entertaining. The story sets on a planet where power is absorbed by the beacon of a city, and so the daleks are rendered inable to kill, leading to an interesting alliance to say the least. I still enjoy this story even now, and although Jon Pertwee is not my favourite Doctor, I will never forget the commentary on the dalek battle with the underground robot. Good shot, sir!, A hit! Yes...a palpable hit! and the classic Well, it obviously wasn't fond of me, but it positively hated the dalek!
Utterly hilarious... December 19, 2001

If you're thinking of watching this because you find/found the Daleks terrifying then think again. This story, that sees them rendered temporarily powerless on a barren quarry, sorry planet is pure comedy. The acting is hammy, the space-age costumes are so badly period that any suggestion that the events are set far in the future is tossed out of the window almost immediately, the Daleks spend most of the time falling in pits and getting jammed in doors, and the incidental music is provided by the local Scout orchestra. Not one of Pertwee's best, by any means, but very enjoyable for all the wrong reasons.
 Not the best Dr but still a thoroughly entertaining story May 2, 2001

Before I bought this video I read many reviews, most of which described it as a weaker dalek story, but I must disagree. It is a thoroughly enjoyable story and a classic Who story at that.pWhilst Jon Pertwee isn't the best Doctor, this is one of his better stories and Death to The Daleks features Sarah Jane Smith, who in my opinion with Harry Sullivan, were the best companions.pEven though the Daleks lose power and their weapons are rendered useless, they still manage to kill in the classic style with their altered weaponry. A Dalek story without killing would not be a Dalek story!pThe dalek models in this are brilliant, they glide smoothly along the ground and at a nice speed to.pThe only minus point in my view is that the human base is way toooo seventies.pOverall, thouroughly good entertainment. A must for Dalek and Who fans. Brilliant!
