Not only that, but the very first return of a popular monster and it was a big Earth invasion story - the show's first!
I hate annual stories for any monster or villain. I'd much rather each season the production team grabbing writers and saying, 'come back to us with your ideas for a story featuring X' and only doing one if it you get a great pitch.
The Daleks have been watered down in the new series. The Borg were watered down in Trek. The Master got watered down in the Davison era...
What I'd like now is a story where, at the start of the season we have our Dalek story and the Daleks get everything they wanted - the Doctor loses. Then at the end of the next season, you have a story with the knock-on effects of the previous victory, and the Doctor knows it's because he failed.
