Miles below the surface of Utah, a captured alien - a METALTRON - is being tortured on the whim of the world's most powerful and influential man: Henry Van Statten, who has made collecting alien artefacts a lifetime hobby.
The Doctor and Rose arrive in Van Statten's museum in response to some kind of distress call. And when the Doctor professes to know a thing or two about alien technology he is thrown in with the Metaltron and ordered to "make it talk".
Within seconds, the Doctor realises that the 'Metaltron' is in fact the lone survivor of a race he thought he'd destroyed...
So begins a journey of deep, personal discovery for the Doctor, the Dalek and Rose.
How far will the Doctor go to ensure the failure of his oldest foes?
What dark secrets does Rose learn about the man with whom she's been sharing the adventure of a lifetime?
And can a Dalek really change into something better?
Join WHO Corner to Corner as our intrepid hosts Paul & Geoff journey all the way back in time to 2005 to ask the question "Is 'DALEK' still good?"
Of course, the story itself hasn't changed. But our hosts are now 17 years older and wiser (well, older anyway...). So have their opinions on it changed?
Listen to our podcast and let us know what YOU think of this seminal story from Series 1 of Doctor Who.
