It only really deals with the Peter Cushing films, I think.

Its a good documentary, its also available on the Dr who(Cushing) movie DVD collection box set.

Two fantastic movies.

weren't the cushing movies explained once as stories written by barbara and made into films within the doctor who verse??

^^I have no idea, i know the official reason they exist was because of the success of the Daleks in the TV show, so they went big screen, got a big cast(Cushing), and filmed it in colour, which was the first time the Daleks were seen in colour, with the same the following year, then it would be 6 more years before they were seen again in colour with Pertwee's Day of the Daleks.

Its just a pity they did not make the third movie in the trilogy.....and as for fitting them into the Who universe, i personally simply look as Cushing playing a version of Hartnell's Dr.

Yes, it's an interesting little piece about the Cushing movies. Well worth a look.

There's an amusing false trailer for a third movie, based on 'The Chase'
