Doctor Who: The Daleks in Colour

Doctor Who: The Daleks in Colour

The Daleks return… and this time in COLOUR!

2023 · 75 min · ★ 6.1 · Science Fiction, Drama, Adventure, TV Movie

The very first crew of the TARDIS land in a petrified forest on an alien planet. Determined to explore, the Doctor leads his companions into the metal city, where they discover danger at every corner and what will become his deadliest enemy... the mutant Daleks. It's time to encounter the Daleks once again, but this time in a way you've never seen them before. Originally transmitted in December 1963 to February 1964, the seven original episodes of the first Dalek story have received a cosmic makeover, dazzlingly colourised and woven together into a 75-minute blockbuster with brand-new sound and a brand-new score created by Mark Ayres. The Daleks has been gloriously updated, whilst ensuring the original story remains as thrilling as it was in 1963.

Directed by Richard Martin · Written by Terry Nation
