Members' presale until Friday 24 July, 12pm. This film contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. This screening will have an extended introduction from film and culture writer, academic, programmer and curator Lillian Crawford, author of The Mind of the Doctor: Across the Neurodiverse Universe of Doctor Who , and followed by a book signing. Dr Who and the Daleks sees the Doctor travel through space and time in the Tardis to find himself on Skaro, the birthplace of his arch-nemeses, the Daleks. Skaro is a planet devastated by nuclear fallout, where the hideously mutated Daleks have to live in metal suits to survive, and where they plot the destruction of the planet’s other life-form, the gentle Thals, who are doomed to extermination unless the Doctor can save them.
