By 2012, the BBC had accumulated quite a lot of Daleks, plus they borrowed a lot, so that a large number could all appear on screen together in Ayslum of the Daleks. In this investigation we break down every scene to understand all the props seen used on set and confirm exactly how many were held by the production team at the time.

It’s oddly reassuring to know that original daleks from 2005/6 were still present in later stories. They kind of feel like cast members at this point

yeah, kinda like how the old series had the same cast of dalek props all the way through lol

It shows how well they took care of them in storage, to the point they look quite well, even been the very first props build for the show.

It really is a pleasure watching these videos, you all do a great job of getting this information across in an enjoyable way without losing any of the actual educational value, which is a tricky line to balance. I've always heard that the Paradigm props had their hunches redesigned for Asylum, but they've always looked identical to me, so it was revelatory to me when you actually showed what the difference is!

Amazing work, you Dalek Detectors have done it again! This is amazing, I love that through keen Dalek prop obsession you have all uncovered continuity placement errors in a story that most people working on the production would have figured 'Dark room full of Daleks, no one will notice.' Excellent stuff, also I know it was a gag but I happen to like the offshoot topics like the Jack the Ripper video. Can't wait to see the next vid, whatever the topic is!

I did however feel a little short changed by the time spent on NSDAD1 and 2 just because i find them so interesting and thought you might have mentioned their future career in the experience or time fracture.

You have just made me like rusty. To think that his history no go as thus: First surviving the three doctors during the last day of the time war, only to go insane from the encounter (understandable) and end up on the darlek asylem. Next he tried to kill Rory and finally (after escaping the asylem) end up being captured by humans only to be "saved" by a fourth incarnation of the doctor who has now become his god. What a tale.

It's a real shame the Daleks no longer sport the oil/weathered look (apart from MT1) like they did in the early seasons. Especially so in the Stolen Earth / Journeys End, the bronze Daleks in that looked great, with all the weathering applied it really did bring them to life, And ever since the repaint for Victory of the Daleks, as well as all of the other casings that have been procured, this weathered look is missing and just makes them look toy like.

@Just-Plain-Potential 10 ай бұрын

I would be interested in seeing the history of the Dalek Mutant prop. See, I know it debuted in 2005's Dalek, was reused for the emperor (skipped over Sec, cos he had to be CGI to eat Mr Diagoras whole) and was then used again for Caan, the Prime Minister and Rusty. From what I gathered, was 9 years of appearances before they stopped using it and eventually made a new one for the Resolution dalek which was used throughout the Chibnal era.

@unimpressedlink2507 9 ай бұрын

The one we see in Caan isn’t the same as the Emperor and Metaltron. That was destroyed irreparably as the water from the Emperor’s tank ruined the animatronics in the mutant prop. I believe Caan and the Prime Minister are the same, but I’m not sure of Rusty

It's so crazy how you're obsessed with, and I'm fascinated by as I watch this video, something that absolutely doesn't matter whatsoever. It's actually mental how insignificant it is how many Daleks the BBC own and which shots each one is used in, yet you go to extreme lengths to learn this information. I don't even mean that in a bad way, because we all have obsessive quests for knowledge like how you have for Dalek props, a common example being sports statistics Although this channel is about aliens, I think it says a great deal about the human condition.

Very detailed breakdown! Can I ask a geeky favour, on this channel (I'd post the link but that seems to get comments deleted) there's a video about me and my family going to the studios in Cardiff (competition prize) just days after they finished filming Power of the Doctor and met a dalek in the office in the studio. Based on it being there I'd assume it's a screen used one, I don't know how great my pictures are but if you can figure out if it is and which one it is (when it's appeared etc) and could let me know that would be great! Thanks in advance if you do take on this challenge!

Hello! Thank you for showing us the video. And congratulations on winning the competition! The Dalek you met is the one we call NSDPOTD2.
