Doctor Who: Second Series Summary
The second series really stepped up the game in terms of this project. The lineup got mostly fours, and was only brought down by The Web Planet.
Taking a slight detour on my way to the third series, I’m going to take a look at one of the unofficial adventures with Peter Cushing in the role. After that, it’s off to Galaxy 4 and the road to the 12-part return of the Daleks.
Planet of Giants – 4
The Dalek Invasion of Earth – 5

It used to be that the Cushing films were the only Doctor Who readily accessible. As proper movies they were available on VHS and if you were lucky you might find them at a Blockbuster or see them on a cable channel. Now that all of the actual classic series is released I find it hard to remember that the Cushing films exist. I doubt that I’ll watch them again unless the blu rays that were released in England ever get released here. I’m interested to hear what you have to say about them.
