Day 345: Planet of the Daleks Episode 2

There's a supremely beautiful moment in this episode concerning a conversation that the Doctor has with a fellow scientist after they have both been captured by the Daleks. The scientist, Codal, seems annoyed at himself. He isn't brave like the other members of the expedition. Instead, he spends his time in fear of everything that surrounds him, too afraid to do anything. But the Doctor points out that he does do things, and that this is courageous. Courage, the Doctor explains, is being frightened but doing the right thing anyway. This is what Doctor Who does. It frightens children, but it also teaches them that it's OK to be frightened, and that being brave is OK as well. It's a simple message but one that's effective and works well within the episode.
