ID this British sci-fi movie

I got to thinking about this movie the other day (mostly because I was in LeVideo, which has nearly every movie ever made.)

Back when I was a kid, I caught the tail end of a British sci-fi movie one Saturday morning. It appeared to be from the 60’s, and involved a group of about 4 people who were (I think) on board a space station. There was a robot (which looked a bit like the multi-armed Gog, if you know the robot I mean) and I think people had little bathing caps that they could use to feed information into their brains. The movie ended with them using a matter transmitter to go back to earth- I think they landed in a ditch, and a policeman asked them what the idea was.

“The Terrornauts,” based on “The Wailing Asteroid” by Murray Leinster.

I think you might have seen the tail end of the movie “Dr. Who and the Daleks”. I think I’ve seen the end of it, too. The “robot” would have been a Dalek. Peter Cushing, I think, played the Doctor in that one. The two Dr. Who movies aren’t compatible with the TV series, so Whovians generally ignore them.

The movie doesn’t sound to me like “The Terrornauts”, which is a wonderfully bad flick.

Glad to hear that someone else knows about “Gog”. Did you know that Gog, when first released, was a 3D movie? Explains all those crooked corridors and in-your-face centrifuge shots.

I think you can rule out both “Doctor Who and the Daleks” and “Daleks–Invasion Earth 2150 AD.” Neither one has a matter transmitter in it, and the Daleks do not resemble Gog.

Guy Propski:

You’re dismissing my suggestion too easily. Gog and Magog DO resemble Daleks – multi-armed metal boxes on hidden wheels. If you could teach them to say “exterminate!Exterminate!” you’d have a fair imitation. I don’t know about the matter transmitter, but IIRC the Doctor and friends DO end up in a ditch at the end, to be greeted by a policeman, and there’s a multi-ported flying saucer. Sounds like a match to me.
