500YD S5E4: Pushed up in the Schedule (The Chase) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturday 22 May 1965. The Chase. This week, Adam Richard and Kevin Burnard join us for a picaresque and shoddily made romp through time and space, with Daleks, followed by a devastating emotional farewell.
500YD S5E3: The Power of a Pair of Clutched Lapels (The Dalek Invasion of Earth) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturday 21 November 1964. The Dalek Invasion of Earth. This week, it’s our annual trip to post-apocalyptic 22nd-century London to see how David, Tyler and Jenny are getting on. Turns out, probably better than we let on last time.
500YD S5E2: Splitting the Party up for No Reason (The Keys of Marinus) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturday 11 April 1964. The Keys of Marinus. Terry Nation has left the Daleks at home this week, but he’s still bristling with so many ideas that the TARDIS crew rush through no less than five mini-stories in six weeks, proving that while the sea-bathing on the planet Marinus is basically lethal, there’s still a lot there to keep the tourists occupied.
500YD S5E1: Captures and Escapes and Reversals (The Daleks) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturday 21 December 1963. The Daleks. Doctor Who has barely even started when the writer of Episode Five shows up and decides to take the show in a whole different direction. That writer was Terry Nation, and that episode, or possibly the one after that, will change the world forever.
