Is the Doctor simply pretending that he doesn't know who the Daleks are throughout this story - as he has already set a trap for them back on Earth with the Hand of Omega?

Wonderful creepy background music, the cliffhanger to episode 1 is superb.
__________________________________
At the beginning of episode 5 is a very strong scene:
(Ian is talking to Alydon and the Thals)
IAN: to have self- respect. At this moment, anyone could come in here. They could rob, they could steal.
DOCTOR: Let's see what he's up to.
IAN: They could even kill you. And you wouldn't lift a finger to help yourselves.
ALYDON: We will not fight. There will be no more wars. Look at our planet. This was once a great world, full of ideas and art and invention. In one day it was destroyed. And you will never find one good reason why we should ever begin destroying everything again. I'm sorry.
IAN: You're not sorry. You stand here, mumbling a lot of words out of your history. But it means nothing, nothing at all. You carry this around with you. Your history records. Well, it must be valuable to you. Supposing I take it down to the city and try and trade with the Daleks? Perhaps they'd think it valuable enough to exchange for our fluid link.
ALYDON: I don't believe you'd do it.
IAN: I would.
ALYDON: None of us would stop you.
IAN: If I don't get the fluid link back, the four of us will die. Perhaps the Daleks are more interested in people? Maybe they were holding us to experiment on us? I could take them an alternative.
(Ian grabs Dyoni by the arm and starts to lead her off. Alydon grabs Ian then punches him)
IAN: So there is something you'll fight for.
_________________________________
I also like the scene at the end when Susan shows off her new shawl given to her by Dyoni and then falls over for no good reason.
"It's lovely!" says Ian in a patronising voice.
