Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere is a scene where the Doctor and Jo are working on the TARDIS console in the Doctor's lab. A mistake by the Doctor causes another Doctor and Jo to briefly appear at the entrance to the lab. Originally the serial was to end with a scene where the Doctor and Jo went back to the lab, and saw their earlier selves working at the TARDIS console. However, director Paul Bernard refused to film it, saying "Once it's over, it's over". Terrance Dicks would later restore the scene in his novelisation of the story.
- GoofsAt the start of the Brigadier's phone call, both the caller and the minister can be heard at the exact same time. The minister then says "hello" twice before The Brigadier responses.

Featured review
There are many different kind of ghosts.
The house of Sir Reginald Styles is under attack, from the future, but who and why?
It's the first time fans will have seen The Daleks since Evil of The Daleks, a five year break, but they're back, and in colour, and in need of strepsils.
It's a good watch, it's very atmospheric, it's well paced, it looks good, and it sounds..... terrible. This is what happens when someone is making a show, but doesn't know the history of it. Fortunately the Blu ray hides all its faults, the updated special effects and voices really do make a difference.
I really like the controller, and the operators, they look wonderfully sinister. The Daleks look great in colour.
There is some familiarity, we have the stuffy Sir Reginald Styles, a character type used several times in the Pertwee era, we have peace processes, and Chinese delegates, if does at times feel like we've been here before.
If I'm honest I prefer Pertwee's other encounters with Skaro's finest, but it's a good start, 7/10.
