A publicity image for The Ribos Operation (1978). Whatever Tom Baker has just said, Mary Tamm is struggling to keep a straight face.

"An out of this world 4K restoration of Dr. Who & The Daleks (1965), starring British film legend Peter Cushing as everyone’s favourite timelord. This was the first big screen film adaptation of British TV’s most iconic sci-fi hero, and the first time Dr. Who was ever seen in colour!

Having invented the TARDIS, a strange machine capable of travelling into other dimensions, the Dr. and his three young accomplices set forth on a quest through time and space. Their journey takes them into the dark, undiscovered depths of the universe and to the planet of Skaro, a primitive world devastated by nuclear war and populated by two warring species, a peaceful tribe known as Thals and a life form heavily mutated by radiation, encased in protective machines, merciless force of destruction known as The Daleks!"

Susan reaction at the cost: Far Cough!!!!

"Regenerated in out of this world 4K, Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. directed by Gordon Flemyng, stars Peter Cushing in his return to the big screen as British TV’s most iconic sci-fi hero, Dr. Who. The earth of 2150 A.D. is a desolate and hostile ruin of a planet, crumbling at the edge of civilisation, slowly disappearing into the darkness of space. For the future of planet earth now belongs to The Daleks, a destructive army of alien invaders who have turned humans into cowering slaves. Meanwhile deep within the London Underground a group of resistance freedom fighters are planning an attack. But there’s only one man who could possibly help them succeed in destroying their extra-terrestrial enemies and take back control of planet earth. A man of mystery, a man of time and space, a man known only as… The Dr."

I'd love to hear the commentary by Newman, Shearman and Gatiss.
