Destiny of the Daleks

Last night I was watching a Doctor Who story from 1979 called "Destiny of the Daleks". In the story, the Fourth Doctor (played by Tom Baker) and his companion Romana (Lalla Ward) arrive on Skaro, home planet of the Daleks, where they soon find out that the Daleks are excavating the subterranean ruins of their old city in an attempt to find their creator, Davros and enlist his help in their latest war with the ruthless alien Movellans, who have also arrived on Skaro and are determined to stop the Daleks at any cost. It was quite a fun story, but it has not aged well, with the special effects severely lacking, for example the mask for Davros was obviously designed for another actor, and was visibly too large for the head of the actor who did play the role, and it wobbles quite obviously throughout the story.

This morning I got up quite late and went along to the supermarket to get my groceries for the coming week, and spent some time cleaning in my kitchen.
