The first of 6 episodes of "The Chase", the third overall Dalek story. This first ep has a sequence w/the Beatles that was excised from US DVDs, but is fun if you can see it. pic.twitter.com/acUCuGZFcy

A quick follow up to yesterday's #DoctorWhoMarathon post. This scene with Bill Hartnell exclaiming "THE DALEKS!" gets me every time. I love the inflection here. It's both comical and serious at the same time. I don't know why, but I love this small bit. #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/pBRHMEIjkw

The crew are eventually reunited w/help of natives, but are blocked by the Daleks who have surrounded the Tardis. After some fun with a Dalek, they escape and the chase is on. pic.twitter.com/z4KIpgF2Cl

... and in another video update for #DoctorWhoMarathon, Episode 2 of "The Chase" might have the first ever levitating Dalek in #DoctorWho history. ;) pic.twitter.com/xNrkS6SxlP

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 74 - "Flight Through Eternity" (3/6 - Serial R, Story 16) - 5 Jun 1965. #DoctorWho 1/2

The crew are chased by the Daleks, landing on top of the Empire State Building in New York & the Mary Celeste trying to get away. That's the bulk of this episode. But.... pic.twitter.com/uJeTpbuWJD

The glory here is 5 mins w/the character "Morton Dill" played by @purves_peter. His "stereotypical American" interactions w/crew & a Dalek are awesome. #BringBackDill pic.twitter.com/NupNpb2mYZ

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 75 - "Journey Into Terror" (4/6 - Serial R, Story 16) - 12 Jun 1965. #DoctorWho 1/2

The chase continues, with the crew landing in basically a haunted house. Made for silliness with Daleks interacting with Frankenstein. The Tardis leaves Vicki behind, tho. pic.twitter.com/g0OpGUeF3E

The Daleks decide to duplicate the Doctor so their robot can kill the Tardis crew. Doesn't look a whole lot like Hartnell, tho. The crew decide to stop & fight the Daleks. pic.twitter.com/j1pDGUWqhB

The crew meets the Mechanoids - a race of robots intended to be the "new Daleks", but they only appeared here. They meet Steven Taylor, the next companion for the show. pic.twitter.com/jHM5CvA8X6

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 77 - "The Planet of Decision" (6/6 - Serial R, Story 16) - 26 Jun 1965. #DoctorWho 2/3

The Daleks eventually get into the city and there's a huge fight between them and the Mechanoids - which for 1965 Who has some decent sfx. Very 60's stuff here for sure. pic.twitter.com/iHMsCwQzh0

Forgot this. @Purves_Peter played both Morton Dill from Ep3 and Steven Taylor from Ep6. It's one of the only times (only?) an actor has played 2 characters in same story. pic.twitter.com/tITkM3ceMl
