"Photo Blow-up" Dalek! What nonsense!! The Dardis interior clearly suffered from dimensional instability causing some occupants to appear 2D.

I find it crazy that the most story-driven and most-appearances prop looks the cheapest, While the best looking props (the mechanoids) only appear for one episode and a bit.

Didn't the story also feature the prototype "Special Weapons Dalek", which looked suspiciously like a BBC studio camera??!😃

This channel is what other behind the scenes channels should aspire to be.

Such a clever design! A shame the realities of production didn't quite realise it effectively, but I love the ambition

When the TARDIS lands in the haunted house amusement, there's a shadow on the police box door. It steps away from the light before the door opens. I was hoping that might get a mention.

I always marvelled that the Dalek operators managed to get into the DARDIS (reasonably) smoothly. Looks tricky.

It's really obvious from this - for the first time - that the DARDIS was meant to be a more ambitious illusion outside than its chief inspiration. So it's doubly disappointing it didn't come off and wasn't even revised for its obvious successor: the prison ship in 'Doomsday'.

I enjoyed your forensic examination. But. Honestly. 8-10 year olds in 1965 watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it. And the surreal look of the 'Dardis' worked beautifully, fitting with the emerging psychedelia of the time, and of course, those always amazing opening titles.

Fascinating. I've always wondered why the DARDIS concept has never been revisited. I always liked the idea that the Daleks have made a rival "bigger on the inside" dimensional time ship and are just as competent technologically as the Time Lords. Makes them out to be a much more crafty threat, and one that could appear anywhere, and at anytime. Instead, later serials make reference to "Time Corridors," which are described as rudimentary time travel at best. It's a shame. I think it would be awesome if the writers at Doctor Who decided to give the DARDIS a proper comeback.

The DARDIS is like a magic cabinet used on stage to make a person vanish from the audience's view and reappear later elsewhere. A quick consultation with the Magic Circle of Great Britain would have discovered a couple of ways to do this well, possibly using a device that already existed, using mirrored doors to create an empty space within the DARDIS frame. The idea was used later, with Daleks appearing from a simple cabinet with a moving rear panel in a second Doctor story, this employing the 'Time Corridor' technology that links two objects or places with a similar location in another time, which the Daleks use often over the run of Doctor Who.

The Dastardly Daleks DARDIS Disaster Documentary. Brilliant!

Excellent video, raising issues about The Chase that has never occurred to me before. The poor old grams operator in Journey Into Terror had a rough time, missing several sound effects. I find the fifth episode something of a botch up in the direction stakes, until that glorious scene where the Daleks rallies their forces for the final attack, a beautiful piece of choreograph and with only one gliding camera.

The idea behind this prop is really clever, if only it’d been executed more carefully.

The crazy things is that I never noticed a single one of these mistakes, I saw the 2 movie Daleks in the time machine on my own but I had no idea they were also in the jungles of Mechanus until you lot pointed it out.

Woke up depressed and hungover, saw that there was a new video from this channel and now I'm just hungover

If I wish to ask you guys for a recommendation... Maybe do a video based on the development of the OG Tardis and the original functions, and how Terry Nation and the rest of the crew cemented certain functions that are now iconic staples. Maybe go over the props and og set in which the Tardis evolved from. Continue to do this as best as you can! I am an american fan and I do wish to see more from you guys soon!

More fabulousness. Even as a Dalek mad 7 year old watching this in 65 I thought the Dardis was rubbish...I remember thinking it looked like a wardrobe. Another great vid. Thanks

I like the idea that sometimes the Doctor's explanations are just wrong. Compare the haunted house with his much later speculation that the imagined 'monsters under the bed' must be real.

This is one of my favorite stories. I love the hopping through time, and the little easter eggs. I find the mistakes of those early years to be endearing.

Interesting video of this subject. Thank you. I remember seeing the Chase originally on TV, tunning in each Saturday excited to see how the Doctor and his companions manage to outwit the Daleks xx

The DARDIS prop might have been challenging to work with, bit it's seriously beautiful. It takes the bigger on the inside technology and takes it to its logical extreme. What stops the TARDIS exterior from simply being four doors attached to nothing? It's quite elegant really.

When you mentioned at this point, only The Doctor and the Daleks had time machine, I thought, wait a minute... then I remembered, it was in the VERY NEXT story we saw another time machine... only, it was from The Doctor's home planet! Maybe a year after "The Chase", THE TIME TUNNEL did a story titled "Chase Through Time", where Doug & Tony found themselves in 3 different eras, including 1,000,000 AD, trying to prevent The Tunnel from being destroyed in their now-distant past, due to The Tunnel linking their "present" (1968) to whenever Doug & Tony happened to be... and 1,000,000 BC at the climax. Watching that recently, I was delighted to find it was genuinely one of the VERY BEST stories in that show's short run of only 30 episodes. (Robert Duvall played the main villain.) Interesting that Verity Lambert wanted the show to be "consistent" conceptually, but later producers felt otherwise.

again, a wonderfully produced, informative video. You guys do the best Dr. Who videos. So many facts I never knew. Well done all.

Excellently put together, filled with titbits. Very high standard of production as always. We do appreciate all your hard work..

Another error when Ian and the Doctor first go down into lab, a Dalek can be seen in the arch way below even tho they have not arrived there yet.

The House of Horrors stair statues (Weeping Angels?) can be seen in an early Black and White Steptoe episode.

Thank you for this. Your channel is a must for all fans. So interesting, facts which add to the viewing of the original episodes and make them if more entertaining.

Even in the 90s , when I first saw these episodes, I was fascinated by the Daleks TARDISes, so I suppose on some level they actually succeeded!

The Daleks time machines were awesome in trillions of ways

I couldn't help but crack up every time the word 'DARDIS' was said haha

More excellent forensic deduction by "Dalek 63.88 boys!!! Wonderful stuff!!!!!!

Not sure I like the idea of the TARDIS requiring twelve minutes to reconfigure before its next takeoff (even though it nicely mirrors the twelve regenerations of a Time Lord and the twelve hours on a clock face), but it could be chalked up to some kind of side effect of the ‘DARDIS’ locking onto the TARDIS and thus buggering the latter’s takeoff computer mechanisms. I also didn’t realize it was Terry Nation who popularized the idea that the TARDIS’ interior can be made into a comfortable home unto itself, even though it makes perfect sense to modern sensibilities that a TARDIS would be equipped for some very, very, very long journeys away from Gallifrey (from the perspective of the occupants anyway; I guess a TARDIS could theoretically return to Gallifrey seconds after its departure) . . .

Once again, the research amazes me and it’s presented so clearly and logically. Bravo!

How do you not have more subscribers?? Gawd, KZfaq is stupid. Such top quality videos, I'm not even all that interested in Dr who, but these videos are so interesting ,I love them !

These really are brilliant. Keep them coming!

Always excited to see a new vid. Well done

Another great video. Thanks guys.

Loved the video! Always thought the DARDIS prop was a bit naff, so great to hear more behind the scenes info about it. It's a shame they didn't realise it better.

I honestly thought the Dalek time machines were SIDRATs, but a Google shows that is from The War Lords and I think maybe from the old FASA Dr. Who rpg I used to have. Thanks for the video!

Excellent video as always guys! It's been so long since I watched The Chase that I kind of assumed that the Dalek time machine was partly cylindrical and that the entrances we see the daleks come out of in the episode is always the same sides. Me and my partner are currently watching the show from the very beginning and are currently on The Space Museum so it's going to be interesting going into this story with these new bits of info!

MORE TIME!! MORE TIMEE!!!!!! I cannot wait, these shows a sooo good.

Another perfect slice of TNA whimsy - great research with wonderful illustrations as always. In general I like The Chase more than the broad DW fan base portrays, and the DARDIS is the second TNA video to convey how final execution took the edge off a tale with bags of potential. Thanks

Fantastic video as always. But a cliffhanger! Aarrrgh!!!

Brilliant content as usual. Thanks, guys.

Part of the War Of The Daleks board game resemlbed the Dardis

Love weird AI Vicki from 3:08 terrifying dead eyes of a doll 😲

Your channel is such a gift.

So interesting can’t believe I never noticed all the strange editing and stage hands 😂 are you going to make a part 2 covering Daleks master plan? 😁

The people running the show: "Yeah lets do a TARDIS with doors acting like mirrors and have the Daleks go around in it." *Illusion is ruined multiple times and one even gets jammed entering.* Edit: I realised that ALL times the Dardis is seen on the cameras it's always in the way that ruins it and was never seen once with the cameras properly as intended.

Another Fantastic video! Extremely enjoyable. Well done 👍

If Peter Brachaki hadnt designed tje Tardis then thecDardis interior reminds me of how the Doctors ship could have looked: Silver flats and funky swirly things. Thank goodness Peter tried harder...

Always interesting, thank you! Neat the way you added up the Daleks and concluded only 3 visited Mechanus. Ha!

Wish to see a fan project of The Chase where they could fix the issues and flaws in the Dalek Time Machine and the other editing problems. (10:51)

Amazing as always

Never heard of this before brilliant 👍

I for one am glad that Verity Lambert changed it to a closed down tourist attraction.

You'll end up as a couple of burnt cinders floating around in Spain!

Love Verity's contributions to Who, but disagree on her choice to play down the haunted realm. Means the Daleks got defeated by little more then malfunctioning Carnaval attractions, that can somehow withstand a Daleks ray blast?

For mine, The Chase is a real mixed bag. The first ep is nicely mysterious and troubling, and seeing a Dalek rise up out of the sand is a shock. But some segments are just poorly framed and directed, as though there was some confusion on set about what the intention was. I'm thinking for instance of the performances and framing of the Doctor v Doctor fight, or the encounters with Dracula and Frankenstein etc.

It amazes me how many issues there were during production.

This is my 11th time watching this video over the span of almost a full year

Terry Nation was ahead of his time.

I've watched Doctor Who for over 50 years and have never heard the phrase dardis

That's really rich that Verity Lambert wanted the show to be realistic after making The Web Planet.

Just discovered your channel and I adore your content! Your style reminds me of CleverDickFilms who is awesome!

The great thing is that, back in the '60s, us kids didn't give a damn about continuity or logic errors.

Would have been great to have in the series had the finish product not fail to work as intended, i could only imagine what the Dardis would look like for each new Doctor who season involving the Daleks :3

Dodgy hardboard sets, Tardis doors not closing properly, studio hands in the shots, flat pictures of squads of Daleks that were supposed to look real on the old gas TV; these were all classic hallmarks of early Doctor Who. I thought the Dardis was a cool idea that showed how twisted thinkers like the Daleks might get their heads (?) around the multidimensionality of a time travelling machine. I liked the idea of getting in through a door that made as much sense as an Escher drawing. Sure, the SFX of the time (read BBC budget) wasn't up to the job but what the Skaro? It was great!

I just finished the chase on the blu Ray collection set today and noticed they've FIXED the screen overlay going over the dalek eyestalk. It seems they've done some jiggery-pokery and the eyestalk now appears to go infront of the screen like it should. I've not seen ANYONE talk about this or mention it

I see notification I click video faster than speed of light

Dennis Spooner & Terry Nation both had 'elf ears'... 👂

It's uncanny the Dalek squad is comprised of eight as that's the number in a modern western Army Fire Team, the basic optimal infantry unit.

Another great video, and a nice surprise, not announced on your Facebook page?

The thing I remember most about the Haunted House is that it's in the 1990s, the future at the time.

11:50 Both of Vicki's audio errors got fixed on the DVD I think. Certainly I was listening out for them and didn't hear them on my rewatch last week.

Is that DARDIS CAD model available for the public? It's ever so good.

I really love to see This Time traveling craft returning in a New future story!

Cute... To tell the story of a time machine's further adventures... You need more time! Thank you for the history I didn't know about the show - was way before my time!

8:38 Missed an opportunity to say "I'll explain later."

i am sure thqt if this was done today it would be marvellous to watch. the idea is incredible and works well with the over the top technology seen often in doctor who

That "Frankenstein's House of Horrors" in Ghana in 1996 that was "Closed by Peking" was pretty darn confusing to me when I saw it in the actual 1990s. Was the signage meant to indicate that China would be dominating western Africa in 1996?

I wish they'd bring it back in some form in the current series. Parallel universe or something.

I am still so confused at the design 😭😭 this is the most bizarre thing i have ever seen lolll

Why didn't Ian and Babs just take an aeroplane flight home from New York in 1965? Safer than the risk of becoming cinders in Spain. And Morton Dill could've joined to help the Doctor and Vicki, later teaming up with his descendent Steven Taylor.

The design of the Dardis kind of reminds me of the interior of the Mego/Denys Fisher Tardis.

15:00 Agh! Weeping Angels!

Terry Nation..the greatest Dr. Who writer!

Once I complete my time machine, I'm going back in time to fix this prop. Magnets in the door frame would prevent it getting open/help it get properly closed. Or going further back, instead of what we got, why not a revolving door design?

What I don't quite get is why the daleks weapons didn't destroy the funhouse robots? They were able to destroy the mechanoids with them. They could have been holographic but then Frankensteins monster beats one up. Perhaps it fell over and died of fright?

I actaully like the Dardis and it was pretty cool the daleks got their own time machine

Nobody loves the chase more than me

The realm of the Celestial Toymaker is specifically an other dimension under his control ... the problem with the Chase is that he house of horrors is not ..

You have ruined my childhood! I hadn't noticed any of this stuff.... Good old 405 lines and excitement!

Early Dr Who is much like amateur dramatics. Well meaning but with little budget, under rehearsed and people who never quite grasp how technical things are meant to appear making a pigs breakfast of things. Ask me how I know!

When did they decide Daleks didn't have (regular) access to time travel or bigger on the inside tech? (Excusing the emergency temporal shift)

I feel like several of these issues could have been fixed with some of those weak magnets they put on kitchen drawers and fridge doors

I always thought that the T in TARDIS stood for time

Leaving a like and comment for the care and feeding of the Almighty Algorithm. 😁 ❤️❤️

What did that ending about "Needing more time" mean.
