Accidentally thrown together, Dr. Who, his granddaughters Barbara and Susan, and their friend Ian cross the universe in Who's new invention, the space and time machine known as "Tardis". When they land on the planet Skaro, the travellers meet the kind and placid Thals, who live in fear of the dreaded Daleks. Somehow, Dr. Who and his party must find a way to help the Thals overcome the deadly mutants who live inside impenetrable metal casings.
Propaganda no propaganda submitted
Daleks’ Invasion of Earth 2150 AD
Synopsis
Policeman Tom Campbell stumbles into Tardis on a normal night and ends up being taken to 2150 A.D. by Dr. Who.

Synopsis
this is a song realeased in 1964
Propaganda
I'm gonna spend my Christmas with a Dalek,
And hug him underneath the mistletoe
And if he's very nice
I'll feed him sugar spice
And hang Christmas stocking from his big lead toe
And when we both get up on Christmas morning
I'll kiss him on his chromium-plated head
And take him in to say hi to Mum
And frighten daddy out of his bed
I mean this singer clearly has a weird think for a Dalek. Also it would never be nice (Anastasia Cousins)

While I do think Sue-Susan-Ruby is the triad we’re going for, make no mistake, I do believe that Susan of Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD (different to The Dalek Invasion Of Earth set in 2164 don’t get confused) is also canon, don’t worry, but she didn’t need to be involved in this because she doesn’t have abandonment issues, Dr Who was a good grampy to her.

What About Tuesday Thru Saturday?
What About Tuesday Thru Saturday?
How big was the spy craze in the wake of ‘Dr. No’ and ‘From Russia With Love?’ So large that interested parties in grabbing onto the phenomenon splintered off all sorts of directions composed of knock-offs, variations, and eventually even to spoofs.
Filtering down to TV this included similar but distinct derivations that truly crossed genres from the straight-up (‘The Man from UNCLE), to westerns (‘The Wild Wild West’) to comedies (‘Get Smart’}, but it also caught a cross-current of a particular type of show which was fading but still very much a fixture in the fall of 1963, the anthology show.
‘Espionage’ was an anthology series telling different and unrelated stories of espionage set in many countries and historical periods. Sold as a trans-Atlantic co-production which would feature actors from both sides of the pond, but in practice tilted heavily to that wonderful cadre of British character actors which suffused British television at the time since the series, which only lasted the one season, was almost entirely shot in England.
Now the Tour Brain Trust swears that we are not obsessed with stalking Patrick Troughton down through the years of his very productive career. It just so happens that he seems to pop-up with some regularity in our meanderings through the rich tapestry of classic British TV. And such was indeed the case with episode 5 of ‘Espionage’ in an episode titled ‘He Rises on Sunday and We on Monday.’ Set in Ireland during the Easter uprising during the World War I, Patrick Troughton plays John McBride, the local leader of the separatist movement. Although Billie Whitelaw was listed as the lead in the episode playing Troughton’s wife, make no mistake, Troughton is clearly the lead in this story and dominates it in so many ways as a singularly focused, dangerously so, patriot.
Those accustomed to seeing Troughton in a small, affected, accent-heavy character parts might be surprised at just how much screen time Troughton gets here, despite the presence of Whitelaw and other notable actors like Jack MacGowran, T.P. McKenna (from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, and Andrew Keir (‘Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD’). It’s worth seeking out.
Can the Tour steer out of Troughton ‘skid’ anytime soon? Perhaps, but we hope not.
