…And so to old New York, 1930, where Daleks have hijacked the construction of the Empire State Building. The whole edifice teeters under the weight of too many plot elements: the Great Depression, Pig Men, a revolting human-Dalek hybrid and Busby Berkeley routines, although Miranda Raison (Spooks) comes out a star as sassy showgirl Tallulah.
