Thanks for the clarification on Ian's surname! I kind of love that the Doctor gets it wrong (in my opinion, purposely). It reminds me of how the 9th and 10th refer to Mickey.

This is good to hear. It makes me excited for the more advanced ones. :)

Yup,the Daleks clearly improved their propulsion ability over the years :) Bear in mind,also,that they were never envisaged to become such iconic enemies; so the concept of them appearing in more than one story hadn't been considered up to this point. Ian's surname IS Chesterton - but the Doctor frequently gets it wrong (Chesterfield; Chessington etc) This story (although perfectly solid) is a good example of science-fiction storytelling of that era: Ugly = evil; beautiful = good. Things aren't quite that simplistic today (the 'misunderstood and sympathetic' Dalek in Revived series 1,for example). Nevertheless,I love how they gave us a glimpse of that nasty squid creature so early in the series run - and Ian clambering into the casing and imitating a Dalek is wonderful,and the first intentionally funny scene in the series, imo.

Glad you are enjoying it. If you like this, you certainly will enjoy more advanced classic shows.

Yes, Susan was 15 back then. Keep in mind the Daleks were much more primitive back then, the more modern ones do not need an electrified steel floor to help power movement.
