Yeah. They took the character of Barbara and made her Susan's sister, or something, instead of her teacher. And the Susan character was very young rather than a teenager.
I don't fault Cushing at all as an actor in these flicks. He makes a very good Doctor. They just came off to me as being a vehicle to keep the Dalekmania band wagon going rather than attempting to make a big-screen adaptation of the show. If I had only seen the films and not the TV series, I would probably think they were really good. They just, for me, pale by comparison.
