About this listen
Before the astonished eyes of his companions Ben and Polly, the Doctor's whole body has apparently been transformed. Now they are confronted by a stranger who claims to be their old friend...but how can they know whether to trust him?
The TARDIS's arrival on the swamp planet of Vulcan brings its own problems; the Doctor is mistaken for an official come to solve the Earth colony's in-fighting, and soon he and his companions are embroiled in political wranglings. However, a far more serious threat lurks within the colony. The scientist Lesterson has discovered a crashed space capsule, within it a group of inert metallic creatures which the Doctor identifies as Daleks.
By the time the Doctor and his friends discover the Daleks' true plan for the colony, it looks as if it might already be too late to stop them.
Anneke Wills, who plays Polly in the story, narrates this debut story for the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, first broadcast in 1966 and long since missing from the television archives.

The Doctor, meanwhile, is rendered invisible and given the challenge of completing the fiendishly difficult Trilogic game.

Taken to the Greek camp by Achilles, the Doctor is introduced to Agamemnon and Odysseus and forced to admit his less¿than¿godlike status. He is then given just two days to come up with a strategy for defeating the Trojans.

An intersting way to preserve history.
I'm not a Who fan, but I listened to this for a book trade with a friend of mine. A great way to preserve the lost episodes. This short 2 hour romp was a fun enough adventure.

Classic Doctor Who at its best.
This was a great way to introduce a new Doctor. By having the first monster he fights be the Daleks. Patrick Troughton was a great Doctor and I will enjoy listing to his adventures.

Electrifying Dalek thriller
If you could sum up Doctor Who in three words, what would they be?
This is the daleks at their most chilling. Possibly never beaten, certainly right up there in the best with the likes of Genesis, Evil, the original, the Invasion of the Earth & Remembrance. The story conforms to the great elements of greek tragedy, and the plot cleverly uses devices such as usurpation and multiple conspiracies, impersonation and mistaken identity, secrets and lies.
What did you like best about this story?
It is very hard to go past Power in terms of depth of agency given to the daleks and the degree of character growth afforded them. They are also up front and centre throughout the story. It is a Dalek fest.
Have you listened to any of Patrick Troughton and full cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I love the Troughton era and this is one of a number of unsurpassable gems.
