In the third episode of the six-part story "Dalek Invasion of Earth," the Doctor (William Hartnell) is rescued from a Dalek operating table by his traveling companions. By now thoroughly dedicated to fomenting a revolt against the Daleks, the Doctor must first discover why the evil mutants have come to Earth in the first place. If star William Hartnell looks queasy during the closing scenes, it is because the actor injured his spine during filming. Written by Terry Nation, "Day of Reckoning" first aired on December 5, 1964. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
