Fans of the current Doctor Who revival that began in 2005 may have missed out on two 1960s curiosities that came from the franchise. Two feature films, 1965’s Dr Who and the Daleks and 1966’s awkwardly titled Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD, brought the character to the big screen with Star Wars actor Peter Cushing in the title role.Who fans have since learned there were plans for a third film. And this time, the Doctor would be battling giant crabs. It’ll all make sense in a moment.
