The Daleks returned in 1964's The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

I was sorry to read that actor Mark Eden who played the role of Marco Polo in the 1964 story of the same name has died age 92.

Dalek stuff good.

'Fam' stuff shite, although better than most of the other 'fam' stuff we've seen. That's not saying much.

Barrowman fun as always.

Pleased about John Bishop being a new companion. Hopefully it will put a stop to all the Yaz / Doctor romance gossip.

As far as Dalek revolutions go it didn't last long - gold Dalek death squads just came along and exterminated all the 'new' Daleks.

Was it me or is my hearing going , I felt the background noise, effects, music etc etc was so loud and over bearing and volume of the voices was low that I struggled to hear what they was saying ? I ended up putting subtitles on lol.

Not just you, gag. Most BBC dramas are like that nowadays.

I remember that alt WWII drama with Sam Riley a few years ago. SS-GB. Couldn't tell a word he said.

They always sound great on dvd though.
