My reaction
Synopsis: chased by Daleks through time and space
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), yesterday
Concept: Good.
Story: Bad. Much of the story centers around gags that aren't funny.
Characters: Indifferent.
Dialog: Bad.
Pacing: Bad.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Bad.
Acting: Bad.
Music: Good.
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad). Just plain dumb. Every now and then they have to bring in Terry Nation to write a story, to make the rest of the show look good by comparison. It could have been a lot worse (and some 1980s stuff is a lot worse), but I can't think of any significant redeeming value.
Objective Rating: 1.6/4 (Eh).
