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......
