The episode Diane was thinking of was "The Dalek Master Plan", which did last 12 episodes. However, the Beatles were not in that one. They appeared briefly in another Dalek story, "The Chase", where the Doctor was chased through time and space by the Daleks, who had built their own time machine. (I remember reading that in Jean-Marc Lofficier's Programme Guide.) I'm not sure if this was the story which included the Mechanoids, who had defeated the overgrown pepper-pots in a Hartnell Dalek story. I wonder if there are any plans to feature another popular British band in an episode in the near future...... -- From under the smogberry trees....
