The 1st Troughton ep. It's lost. I wish we had this more than most because of his craziness in Ep1. There's a few scant clips, but not enough to do justice to the performance. pic.twitter.com/Dj56ogVyll

There was a LOT of WTF in this ep, from "Is that the Doctor" to his behavior. The Doctor pretends to be an examiner, and gets involved in local politics over a capsule project. pic.twitter.com/Cg2384IPKJ

Forgot to mention the animation was done in widescreen. Part of me wishes it was in 4x3 like the original, but not a dealbreaker. Lesterson is hiding a third Dalek in his lab. pic.twitter.com/p6WIpi9fiD

The other two Daleks are dead, and need power to be activated. Both The Daleks and Lesterson think they're using the other one. The Doctor wants the Daleks destroyed. pic.twitter.com/jzwaMgPtAA

The Dalek pretends to be a servant of humans, but the Doctor (as the examiner) tries to get everyone to believe they need to be killed. Local politics prevent any of that. pic.twitter.com/UyqNkbP4Q9

The underlings all plot to take power in the base - that's the bulk of this ep. They also knock out Polly. The Doctor still seems kind of unstable, and you're unsure of him. pic.twitter.com/6qIzqiR3hK

The Daleks work towards full restoration while letting Lesterson think he controls them. The Doctor realizes there are more than just 3 Daleks here while searching for Polly. pic.twitter.com/2iQTGOY1SS

Lesterston realizes the Doctor is right about the Daleks, and has a breakdown. While this doesn't feel like filler, it is i the mid part of the plot where things just move on. pic.twitter.com/sgaDvYeneG

Lesterson has a mental breakdown once he realizes the Daleks are making more Daleks. His assistants are against his plan to wipe out the Daleks and try to help the Daleks. pic.twitter.com/1tQ6ibgvl1

I would like to see the actual performance of Lesterson, as the animation made it seem a bit plastic and screamy. The Doctor, Ben, & Polly are freed, and start to fight back. pic.twitter.com/i4ptEhyrXH

The vibe of Eps 5/6 are different than the first 4, now that the Daleks are more like Daleks here. The bulk of this episode is the various humans fighting back against the pic.twitter.com/nS9oZoyNBY

Daleks and Bragen. The Doctor eventually defeats the Daleks by shorting out their power source, and they explode. Bragen is killed, and our crew escape to the Tardis. pic.twitter.com/R8AvfGcWJL

In Nov 2016, I saw Power of the Daleks in the cinema - never ever thought I'd see 60's BW Doctor Who in the theatre like that. Very much enjoyed it. #DaleksConquerAndDestroy pic.twitter.com/n5Ml0WMwyB
