I saw that as tying in with The Evil of The Daleks, the 2nd Doctor 7-parter where he and Jamie first meet Victoria Waterfield. The Daleks are trying to become deadlier by absorbing "The Human Factor". They can't get anything from Jamie so they try to take it from The Doctor. The result is playful, friendly Daleks who want to have fun with the doctor. the two Dalek species then get into a civil war. I liked the opening of the movie for that very reason - the good Daleks won and were now helping the Time Lords.
The story of the Time War really threw me for a loop.
