Description:
"Remembrance of the Daleks," the final Doctor Who story to feature the titular mutant cyborgs, is a particularly notable adventure for the way it ties the plot into the very first story, "An Unearthly Child," made 25 years before. It is 1963, and the seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, arrives in London with new companion Ace (Sophie Aldred), where two Dalek factions are engaged in a deadly search for the Hand of Omega. Ace quickly proves herself adept with high explosives, and while there are references to the history of the show, including some nice in-jokes, the drama is played much straighter than in McCoy's first season as the time traveler. This is Doctor Who with a decent budget; the period setting is surprisingly lavish and there are some fairly intense action sequences. The Daleks remain as menacing as ever, the plotting has an intriguing air of mystery, and McCoy injects some steel into his characterization.

Aldred serves an ace as a heroine with attitude (very much post-Sarah Connor from The Terminator), and if this really does prove to be the Daleks' swan song, at least they go out with a bang. --Gary S.

Remembrance of the Daleks is actually one of the better McCoy stories.
I like the sentimental touch with the Doctor's return to Totter's Lane, the Hand of Omega, and the introduction of the Special Weapons Dalek.
Its not as dark or surreal as some of the McCoy stories which is why I like it.

I like this episode, if only for the fact that the Daleks can finally get down a flight of stairs!!! Actually, this one is a pretty solid episode with lots of memorable scenes, and is one of the few McCoy episodes I enjoy from start to finish

For fans of Doctor Who both old and new, this is a very good title to add to your collection.
The plot and dialog in "Remembrance of the Daleks" are both quite strong. This story takes the Doctor and his new companion Ace back to the very location where Doctor Who started its run in 1963. The Doctor's oldest enemies, the Daleks, make great villains as always. In this case there are two factions of them fighting each other and the Doctor. Basically one faction represents the classic Daleks ... Read More

By 1988 "Doctor Who" was a show with a long enough history that it could time travel into its own past, and yet a fine enough show that it could do so and still be fresh and engaging rather than musty. "Remembrance of the Daleks" brings the Doctor and his relatively new companion Ace back to the old London junkyard where it all started back in 1963, and countless little continuity references and in-jokes pepper the story throughout its four episodes. Sometimes this can bog a story down and be confusing ... Read More

"Remembrance of the Daleks," considered by many to be one of the best McCoy stories, is pretty good. It attempts to make the entire series up to that point come full circle for the twenty-fifth anniversary of Who. No anniversary celebration would be complete without the good Doctor's greatest (and most loved by fans) enemies--the Daleks. In this tale we find the Doctor and Ace back where William Hartnell was so many years before them and the "Professor" has returned to finish what he started. Two warring ... Read More
