Just for context: the Dalek is THE doctor who monster. Dating back to the second ever story. Alongside Beatlemania the UK had Dalekmania where the daleks were everywhere and immensely popular. The Daleks were written in a post WW2 society to be a Nazi allegory. they’re the manifestation of the Nazis fake race science, with everything that isn’t Dalek (including humans) being seen as sickness to them (That’s what makes the Daleks evolution at the start of this episode so bold). They were also created with the fear of nuclear war in mind (hence why the Daleks are mutants). This episode was also a great exploration of the Doctors dark side. The fury of the time lord is a key part of the doctor’s character as the survivor of the war. “You would make a good Dalek”.

BBC did also say he was replaced since he wasn't a good fit so they say. But he actually loves doctor who it self, and has never talked bad about the Role, and even is aware of how much it did wonders for his career, and enjoyed his time on the show. I wish I knew more, since some people think Christopher was a rude person who bashed doctor who, but it's the complete opposite. It was the fans of his role as the doctor that helped him and he said that the fans healed him, and he's always so happy when he meets fans who say he was their favourite and want to shake his hand, it makes him really happy to know he has a loyal fan base and not always hating on him

As some others have already mentioned; the Daleks are the oldest and most popular villain of Doctor Who, first appearing in the show's second ever serial way back in 1963. They were one of the reasons that the show found success. Also the whole 'Dalek deafeated by a flight of stairs' bit is a playful nod to classic who as many fans made jokes about a Dalek's inability to climb stairs.

The first time we saw a Dalek levitating to climb stairs was in the 1988 episode "Remembrance of the Daleks" with the seventh doctor Sylvester McCoy and his companion Ace (Sophie Aldred ). A flying Dalek had though been seen earlier in the sixth Doctor Colin Baker episode "Revelation of the Daleks" in 1985 and all the way back in 1965 in the first Doctor (William Hartnell) episode "The Chase" a Dalek is seen levitating up through a pile of sand. So the joke had been put to bed by the mid 1980s and should really have died in 1965 though because of the sand being there (necessary to obscure how the Dalek was actually being levitated since there were no CGI or other advanced special effects techniques) it is perhaps unsurprising that that levitation was not really remembered.

@twofacetoo75 21 күн бұрын

The thing to remember about the Daleks is that they basically function on a binary system: is it Dalek? If not, it's bad. Simple as that. This Dalek was mutating, becoming more human, developing wants and desires outside of just 'exterminate'... and for a Dalek, that is WRONG. Daleks shouldn't want anything more than total extermination of other life-forms. A Dalek daring to dream and want and imagine is nothing more than a betrayal of what the Daleks ARE. It could FEEL itself changing, and it HATED itself for it.

When the Doctor says that Daleks are the ultimate in racial cleansing, it’s very much the case that they were written back in 1963 (less than 20 years after then end of WWII) to represent Nazis. This is even more explicitly shown in a 4th Doctor story called Genesis of the Daleks, which I strongly recommend you check out sometime. By the way, the head on display which the Doctor looks at in the opening scene was another Classic DW villain called a Cyberman (think the Borg, but actually conceived of in the mid 60s before Star Trek). If you’re looking for other things Eccleston has featured in, there is quite a lot, but I can strongly recommend The Second Coming (2003), Lennon Naked (2010) in which he plays John Lennon, and Fortitude (2015).

Thank you Angela, and Xander too. The producers of the show did a fantastic call-back job with these early episodes, and introduced some incredible new lore for old fans. The old series stopped BEFORE the Time War, so ALL fans are in the dark as to what actually happened. The show-runners then gave us the call-back to what had become a cliche - bad-guys in rubber suits. THEN they gave us this. Daleks that were truly terrifying. Old Who Daleks (no cgi back then!) COULD have been defeated by stairs, and that's what saved us from nightmares... now?! Holy Moly. The grumpy pepper-pots of old have been re-booted along with The Doctor. There are some moments in this episode that stand out from ALL of Who. The Doctor simply never, ever, uses weapons. To not only pick up a weapon but be pleased at the opportunity to use it, is antithetical to who The Doctor is. Christopher Eccleston's acting is outstanding here - to be told by a Dalek that HE would make a good one, we SAW that break something in The Doctor. The Daleks are defined by hate. Breathtaking acting that is responsible for the success of New Who. Without Christopher Eccleston we would never have had more.

Also keep in mind that they have a Time machine, almost nothing is ever truely extinct to The Doctor. Events never come in exactly the right order for both groups.

The Daleks were designed in 1963, Dr Who was low budget the Daleks were cheap to build out of plywood and glass fibre with Mini car indicator lights on top that lit up when they spoke. There were castor wheels underneath, the operator sits on a plank inside and shuffles about. Gay male ballet dancers were often selected as Dalek operators. As soon as the Daleks began giving orders ans threatening to Exterminate people you suspended disbelief. Don't call them goofy, they were the latest thing in 1963.

@Pooglian 28 күн бұрын

The daleks were a _very_ long running recurring villain in Classic Who. It's arguable that without the daleks we wouldn't have Doctor Who today. The first storyline when Doctor Who premiered in 1963 was kind of meh, and not really pulling in viewers (back then a story would run over multiple half hour episodes). It wasn't until the daleks showed up in the second story (starting with the fifth episode) that people really started tuning in. They were so popular for a while that the UK news outlets actually referred to "Dalekmania" in similar terms to "Beatlemania". When the new series started, it wasn't certain that the daleks would be in it. Thanks to a weird copyright situation, the daleks are partly owned by the BBC and partly by the estate of the writer of that first dalek story, Terry Nation. There was uncertainty in whether they could negotiate a deal for their use, and the writer had to write an alternate version of the script in case they couldn't. Not sure how long it took, but I'm pretty sure they were in production (of the series, not the episode) before they secured the rights.

The Daleks were from classic who. The Daleks literally saved Doctor Who. The show first aired in 1963 on the Saturday after Kennedy was assassinated. Everyone was busy watching info on Kennedy and not watching the show. It was almost canceled, but producer Verity Lambert convinced the network to allow one more episode. And it was the first appearance of the Daleks. The show became a hit because of the Daleks. Many people believe that the time war began on the episode, 'Genesis of the Daleks',
