DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS (1965)

This week, the Pop Culture Historians break down the very first Doctor Who movie, 1965’s DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS (note the spelling of “Dr.”). Topics include: does Peter Cushing count as one of the official Doctors? Does adapting a seven-part TV serial into a 79 minute film actually make the story better? How cool is it to see the Daleks in color? And why did they change all of the characters’ personality? The movie is currently available on BritBox if you want to watch along!
