About this episode

The episode discusses the experience of watching The Daleks' Masterplan episodes for the first time.

Thanks to the fantastic people behind Film Is Fabulous, the four Something Who panellists sat down to watch Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks' Masterplan at various times and in various places over the Easter weekend. In a companion piece to our Episode 125, when we watched these episodes as photo and soundtrack reconstructions, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the experience of now watching the moving pictures. What have we learned that we didn't already know from the soundtracks, clips, photos and camera scripts? What did we enjoy most about the experience of viewing these episodes for the very first time? This podcast episode covers The Nightmare Begins, episode 1. We'll be back soon with our thoughts on Devil's Planet.
