Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks

The Daleks, Doctor Who's oldest and most ruthless enemies, have one goal — total world power. Their prime weapon is time travel. In the late Twentieth Century, they attacked the Planet Earth. Their plan: alter the course of History. Start World Wars. Wipe out the human population. They were very effecfive.

Can Doctor Who, trapped in the Twenty-Second Century, reverse history's course in time to save our planet and every living thing on it, including himself, from the devastating and evil force of the Daleks?

Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, and very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine. Since there's a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to. This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the universe and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in strange and often perilous circumstances.

Doctor Who, created for and by the B B C, is one of the longest running and most popular shows in British television history. Now this incredible space fantasy can be seen on television in major cities throughout the United States via Time-Life Television.
