When it comes to Doctor Who foes they really don't get anymore well known then the Daleks. With the characters having been in the show since its second ever serial all the way back in 1963 with the characters being a staple of not only the show but also pop culture as such there alot of really good stories featuring the villains and so then join me as I review the episode that not only added a new companion but also a new head Dalek as well with the episode in question being called simply just "The Evil Of The Daleks" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is when the TARDIS is taken in 1966 The Doctor and Jaime have to find away of getting it back which includes having to help the Daleks with there latest scheme for taking over the world. Now then interms of I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and while the above synopsis doesn't come close to doing the episode justice it doesn't change the fact that this episodes plot is one of the best plots that the Daleks have ever been apart of with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield. Also starring in this episode is John Bailey as Edward Waterfield , Marius Goring as Theodore Maxtible , Brigit Forsyth as Ruth Maxtible , Geoffrey Colville as Perry , Griffith Davies as Kennedy , Alec Ross as Bob Hall , Windsor Davies as Toby , Sonny Caldinez as Kemel , Gary Watson as Arthur Terrall , Jo Rowbottom as Mollie Dawson , Peter Hawkins as the Voice Of The Daleks and Roy Skelton as The Voice Of The Daleks.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good which is really nothing new for this show as this show even at this point in its life span always had some really good acting in it and that's something that's also true for this episode as well as all of this episodes actors really do turn in some really good performances with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.
For once I actually can't tell you who did the animation for this episode as there is no animation company listed anywhere online. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode being one of the more better animated for the more recent Doctor Who animations with this episode blending 2D flash animation with 3D CGI animation with the episode mainly using 3D CGI animation to bring crowds of Daleks to life and to give some really stunning shots that wouldn't have been possible to do in 2D.

As was mentioned at the start of this review this episode does see two aspects to the show get introduced those being new companion Victoria Waterfield and The Empeor Dalek. With The Emperor Dalek being a large Dalek who is plugged into several walls and who has a large and booming voice who commands The Daleks and is a good edition to the show as it adds more lore not only to rhe show as a whole but to The Daĺek race as well as they now have someone who is just as threatening as they are and while this new edition to the show is one that's really good what isn't is The Doctors new companion Victoria Waterfield as she really doesn't get much of a chance to show why she should be chosen to travel with Jaime and The Doctor which is of course of no fault of her actress Deborah Watling and as such it really does come out of nowhere when at the end of the episode The Doctor announces to Jaime that she'll be joining them in the TARDIS.
This episode does technically have two villains with the second one being the far weaker Theodore Maxtible. As he really doesn't become a villain untill the final three episodes of this seven part episode by which point he's pointless to make as a villain as the story is wrapping up by that point with his main motivation for willingly helping the Daleks with there goal is just because he wants to know a secret and that's really it compare that with the Daleks own end hook which is to forcibly give humans what they call The Dakek Factor to turn them into Dakeks then his plan comes across as being the weaker of the two with the episode not really needing a secondary villain as The Daleks themselves are strong enough to hold an entire episode by themselves.
Now then whilst I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly two hours and fifty seven minuets. With this episode being a whopping seven episodes in length and it really did need all of those episodes in order to fully tell it's story as either cutting an episode or adding an episode would do some damage to either the story itself or the pacing of the episode with the episode having just the right amount there interms of plot to really cover that very large amount of running time and while the episode doesn't take as full advantage of it's episode count or running tome as it really could have done but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode having a big Dalek civil war between the pure Daleks and those that have been given the human factor by The Doctor and it was just so cool seeing these two sides going as well but we oddly get more action scenes in this episode as we both which aren't that good as they are just Jaime ever getting into a badly down sword fight or taking part in a badly done fight both of which would have been passable if they were the only action scene in the episode but given that we get that awesome Dalek Vs Dalek fight it's rhat one that's the best action scene in the whole entire episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this episode is quite easily one of if not the best Dalek story from early Doctor Who with this episode being not really a must watch but one that alot of people who don't like the show will enjoy just as much as those that do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
