Rented a couple of Dalek serials this week.

First was 'Death to the Daleks' with Pertwee's Doctor again. Some beautiful atmospheric location photography (With a nice alienish colour grade).

The setup was interesting focusing on an abandoneed power-draining techno-city. This causes the Tardis to have a blackout and The Daleks' rayguns to malfunction. Resulting in a funny moment when they issue their usual Dalek threats and suddenly find that the humans aren't at all scared and have no intention to "Obey!".

The Doctor and his new little friend Bellal (A great character) have to solve a series of puzzles including this boobytrapped floor...

...which had me wondering if the later "Easy as Pi" scene from 'The Five Doctors' was a homage to it...
