A bit over-generous there I think Dave... on a good day I'd give
"Revelation of the Daleks" a 6/10, on a over-critical day a 5/10.

Like all stories from the JNT era if you ignore the flaws the
stories could be enjoyable enough, but if you wanted to nit-pick
then there were plenty of things to find fault with.
