Mission To The Unknown (1965) Review



Mission To The Unknown was a nice, bit claustrophobic story. It actually reminded me much more of Season 1 with its Marinus-esque jungle sets. I liked the futile attempts of the heroes to contact Earth about the impending Dalek invasion. It was all very nice.

There was one bit of dialogue that didn't make sense to me. The secret agency guy says at one point "stop talking and get back to work". The other guy replies with "look, just cut the chat, will you?"

The story focuses on a group of astronauts who've discovered that the Daleks(from 1000 years after The Dalek Invasion Of Earth) are planning to invade the solar system once more and try to get a message out before the killer plants get them. And they fail.

Overall, a well done prelude that gives off a sense of impending doom approaching. Especially since the next story is a comedy(it's made bittersweet when you know the Daleks are coming to get them the whole time).
