In the third instalment of Music from Terry Nation Army, we journey back to the second Dalek movie made in 1965 (AD) at Shepperton. This music was featured in the second episode looking at the making of Dalek's Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. at Shepperton studios... While most of the music composer Graeme Allan wrote for that episode was original, there were a few minutes of original music from the movie transcribed and arranged for inclusion in the soundtrack, and it is these that are presented here.

a combination of composer Graeme Allan's memory of Dudley Simpson's score for the Doctor Who story The Chase, and original music based on it. The composer's memory was a little too clear and there's as much Dudley in this piece as there is Grame! Also some Saint-Saens and a tiny bit of Bartok...

Inspired by Dudley Simpson's opening theme for the Doctor Who story The Chase, this music was used as a backing track for Dalek 63-88's first episode of Terry Nation Army.
