Radiation nil, oxygen normal, pressure normal...an earth reading! The Tardis has landed in London. A menacing deserted London, with no sign of life and no sense of normality, but the decaying city is not as empty as it seems. The year is 2164 and the travelers soon find themselves facing antagonists whom they thought they had destroyed...the Daleks. They have conquered the Earth.
Ten Years after a cosmic storm, continents of people were wiped out by a plague. Then the Daleks came in saucers, shipping humans to vast mining areas, turning them into robomen and against their fellow humans. Earth contains something no other planet contains - a magnetic core - but why are the Daleks digging for it and how can the Doctor prevent them from tampering with the force of creation?
Classic 6 part series with the Doctor, Susan, Ian, and Barbara and their second clash with the Daleks.

not terrible per se, but knowing from the outset that it's a pilot for a short lived NINJA series that co-starred LEE MAJORS and that i'll probably never see a single regular episode was an immediate downer.
still, it is somewhat enjoyable with a few nice action sequences mixed with the requisite witty repartee.
one can also take refuge in the fact that there is a plethora of better martial arts films available to see, and several more yet to be made. and eventually "the six million dollar man" and "the fall guy" will be released on DVD here in the states.
4/10

the way the credits were presented and the fact that it very basic incidental and theme music leads me to believe that this was a pilot movie for a t.v. series for NBC that was not picked up.
i doubt that it ever aired when it was first made, and it was probably only eventually aired because of the success of bill maher.
i like the concept of a cop from the future teaming up with his great-grandfather to solve crimes on the mean streets of l.a., and maher was funny as the goofy techno-geek cop from the present, but if this had been picked up as a series, then i imagine that this teleplay would have been re-shot since most of it is as dull as an unsharpened pencil.
