The Moroks were obviously a metaphor for the British. They once had a vast empire, but now it's apparently in decline. Showing how they had captured a Dalek and put its casing in a museum was a nice touch, but I think they should have shown more than that to demonstrate how formidable they once were. For the Xerons, we need to see more motivation for why they were so reluctant to rebel. Many of them looked like teenage boys and young men, so maybe they were just trying to impress Vicki. Vicki came across as capricious and reckless. This aspect should have been explored, at least a little, although as a product of its time I can see why it was promoting revolutions without thinking too much about consequences..
