A SEAT AT THE REGAL

SIT TIGHT - THE DALEKS ARE HERE!

A tense scene from "Dr. Who And The Daleks"

THE Daleks — metal-clad monsters whose television adventures have enthralled children everywhere — are coming to the screen of the Regal Cinema, Lichfield, for six days next week, in a fill-colour film called "Dr. Who and the Daleks."

The part of Dr. Who, inventor of Taris, a "time an relative dimention in space" machine, is played by Peter Cushing.

With his grand-daughters Barbara (Jennie Linden) and Susan (Robert Tovey), Dr. Who demonstrated the machine to Barbara's boy-friend, Ian (Roy Castle). Ian trips and stumbles against the control planel ... and the four humans are instantly ejected away from the earth.

Landing in a vast petrified forest, they find a box of drugs mysteriously placed near their spaceship. Leaving these inside the Tardis, they set out ot explore a futuristic city -- and there they are captured by the greedy war-mongering Daleks who are determined to "ex-ter-min-ate" both them and the only other form of life on the planet, the friendly Thals.

Only after the earth visitors have escaped from their captros, crossed massive chasms and monster-infested swamps, tricked their pursuers and destroyed a giant neutron bom, is peace restored to the ravaged planet. Dr. Who and his part are free to return to Tardis and -- they hope -- Earth ....!

"Coast of Skeletons", the supporting film, stars Richard Todd and Marrianne Koch.
