Remembrance of the Daleks

(Series 25, Episodes 1-4)

Summary: Could that mysterious indestructible creature in the shed possibly be…a Dalek?! We’re back to where it all began, in a junkyard in 1963, where Daleks are appearing in the basement of Coal Hill school and searching for the hand of Omega. Ace experiences a bit of 1960s' sexism and it seems as if the Doctor has been playing a long game with himself. Personally, I ship Alison and Rachel and hope they are very happy raising begonias together.

Watch it because: Not since Barbara Wright ran them down with a truck has a companion attacked a Dalek with such vigour.
