Traitors, battles, reveals, Part 3 is a rich episode.

I think it's a great episode, firstly it looks really smart, the clothes, costumes and sets are great. The scenes on board the Dalek Mother ship look really good, very imaginative. I also like the effect of the shuttle landing on the playground.

The Supreme Dalek also looks really good, as does the Emperor. The concept of The Supreme breaking away defying the Emperor is also a clever one.

A little dialogue heavy at times, it felt a little like the Doctor was explaining a lot to Ace, but it all added to the story. I thought the logic behind the battle computer was rather good, and the reveal of its operator was great, I'm sure many would have been expecting it to have been Davros.

Remembrance of the Daleks: Part Three

Another episode that is rich in atmosphere. When producer John Nathan-Turner saw that the script required a Dalek shuttle landing on the school playground.

No problem, he got a crane to plonk a life size shuttle. No messing around with scale models.

The Doctor has a plan. He wants the Daleks to get their pungers on the Hand of Omega, it has to be the right faction.

Ratcliffe dreams of being the strongman leader, every country needs one. Only to realise that Daleks only see one function for humans. Slaves as the rest of Ratcliffe's men are exterminated.

Group Captain Gilmore discovers that some of his soldiers like Mike are traitors. They have been working for Ratcliffe.

There were some aspects cleared up. The role of the sinister looking schoolgirl.

What really stood out was Ratcliffe's fascist dream lying in tatters.

Trivia
Sylvester McCoy ad-libbed The Doctor nicknaming Gilmore "Chunky". Simon Williams had this nickname in real life.

Quotes
Gilmore: You were hired as a chief scientific advisor. One tends to expect advice from one's advisors.
Rachel: For one thing, Group Captain, I was not hired - I was drafted. And for another, do you think I'm enjoying having some space vagrant come along and tell me that the painstaking research I devoted my life to has been superseded by a bunch of tin-plated pepper pots?

Crazy credits
Since Terry Molloy had played Davros twice previously, he was listed in the credits as "Roy Tromelly" (an anagram of his name) in order to avoid giving away to observant fans that the Emperor Dalek was actually Davros.
