From the first episode (An Unearthly Child) until The Gunfighters, each
part of the multi-part stories had a separate name.  The first part of
The Daleks was called "The Dead Planet".  When the parts were combined to
produce a feature-length story for the US (, etc...), the name at the beginning
of the first part was left in.  For An Unearthly Child, this happens to be the
name of the full story, but for The Daleks it isn't.
