The last story in Season 4 is considered a true classic. Evil of the Daleks was intended to be the final Dalek story in Doctor Who, so it was a big story. We also get a new pic.twitter.com/A3vgSdXHYI

companion in Victoria Waterfield. Picks up directly from end of Faceless Ones. With it being 7 eps, this is mostly setup, not even seeing a Dalek till the last minute. pic.twitter.com/OzlOJ8bsuk

The only ep of the 7 that exists, so I'll use the real one vs animation. The Daleks become more of a thing here vs the cameo in Ep1. Victoria Waterfield is introduced in pic.twitter.com/7VJkmfrWrk

this ep, and we get an idea of what the Daleks are up to in 1866. They want the Doctor to experiment on Jamie to find "The Human Factor" to help them. Nice pace to this ep. pic.twitter.com/fmNnGxe19x

Back to animation. The Daleks force the Doctor to start their experiment on Jamie, which is to rescue Victoria from the Daleks. I actually got into watching this episode and pic.twitter.com/MtMXAxrpU6

forgot to write down plot points for these tweets, so that's a good thing. Was busy enjoying it. Interesting to see the Doctor & Jamie argue here. This episode looked GREAT! pic.twitter.com/QvrieGGiR0

The Daleks seem a bit more personal and manipulative in their actions here. I wonder if it is because the story wasn't written by Terry Nation. Waterfield emotionally pic.twitter.com/UDBIE83zdz

breaks down over the capture of his daughter. The Doctor works towards the goal of "The Human Factor". I like the incidental music, something I don't always in 60's eps. pic.twitter.com/89uceQCSjA

Jamie finally rescues Victoria but she is captured again. The Doctor manages to get "The Human Factor", and put it in three Daleks who start to act like human children. pic.twitter.com/SkoKahVao7

Waterfield finds that Maxtible has betrayed them to the Daleks. The Daleks realize that the Doctor has discovered "The Dalek Factor", which they can infuse humans with. pic.twitter.com/GjMillr7aw

Now we're down to it. Eps 6 & 7 were the ones I was looking forward to - as we get into the heavy Dalek action. The action moves to Skaro where Emperor Dalek wants to pic.twitter.com/GvrhirPLcx

reintegrate the "Human" Daleks. He also says "they will be impregnated with" which sounds quite creepy. They want to put "The Dalek Factor" in all humans. #AlphaBetaOmega pic.twitter.com/Hg7eE5ZXNZ

This is the big Dalek episode. And at the time, the expected last ever episode with the Daleks. Emperor Dalek tries to put "The Dalek Factor" in the 3 humanized Daleks and pic.twitter.com/fTmEkj3UX5

the Doctor, but he fakes being converted, and sabotages their machine, causing many Daleks to have the Human Factor. As a result the Dalek civil war kills them all. For her pic.twitter.com/x2ETJEQAlq

first story, Victoria is barely in this. When she is she is just standing there. Really enjoyed this story, & the animation is better than a lot of them, too. #DizzyDaleks pic.twitter.com/yREXiemAiM
