All out Dalek War
24 October 2015
The Imperial Dalek shuttle lands at the School, and the Daleks set off to capture the Hand of Omega from the Renegade Dalek faction.

This is literally the single episode that got me hooked on Doctor Who, as an 8 year old with access to a Video recorder I started taping them from here on in.

The battle scenes between the two sets of Daleks look awesome, the explosions are massive, possibly the biggest I've seen on the show? The Special Weapons Dalek was an awesome design, great to see that its popularity is still there, and it made a re-appearance 26 years later in The Witch's Familiar.

The Doctor's speech is one of Sylvester's best moments in the role it's a shame that some of it was cut in the edit. Credit too to Jasmine Breaks, she played a key part throughout the serial, she was great particularly in Part 4, creating a sense of unease, a sweet looking girl behaving so monstrously. Terry Molloy was great too, his voice was perfect.

Overall I think Remembrance stands out as a great piece of storytelling and a series with very surprising production values, it felt like a superior production to anything in McCoy's opening season. McCoy and Aldred are both excellent throughout.
