Peter Cushing stars as "Dr. Who" [ick!], an earth scientist who invented the "TARDIS." The first movie is based on the series story "The Daleks" a.k.a. "The Dead Planet" (#2). [This is supposed to be available on videocassette now.] The second movie (*) is based on the series story "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" (#10). (*) - [Does anyone in the NY/NJ area know if this will be aired (on WOR?) on TV soon? If it is on WOR, it may appear on cable systems in other areas.] Is there going to be a third movie? By the way, in the movie versions, the right side door of the TARDIS appears to have a "clover leaf" type design on it, but I haven't noticed it in the TV series TARDIS. Is it the same prop? Also, on the subject of early Dr. Who, the book "Doctor Who - A Celebration," lists in the back that there was a "Pilot" and then "An Unearthly Child." Is this a mistake? I thought that "An Unearthly Child" was the first show (repeated the next week) with "The Tribe of Gum" episodes following it. One more question - Is the "proper" name of the second show (prod. code B) "The Dead Planet" or "The Daleks"? I think it is "The Daleks" and that "The Dead Planet" is only the name of the first episode. -- Paul Kemp ihnp4!hou2a!pjk "Are you sure this planet is supposed to be here?"
