Fifty Years of Shit Robots

59. DALEKS' INVASION EARTH 2150AD

Season 6, Ep. 12

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we visit both the future and the past with another non-canon Dr Who movie, DALEKS' INVASION EARTH 2150AD. The daleks are back but are they still shit? We are joined in this episode by Dr Who writer and animator, Niel Bushnell.


WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
