"We got rid of Hitler, so I think we can handle one stupid Dalek" Thats gotta be used in the actual show at some point, it's such a cool line xD

The Blue Peter picture you show was one I asked Peter Purves to sign at an event at the Quad in Derby. He said that he didn't have that picture in his own archive and commented on how awful the jumper was he was wearing and that his clothes taste had improved since 🙂 I later gave him another copy of the photo for his own collection.

Will I ever need to know ANY of this information? No. Did I still just sit through this entire video? Yes. Thanks :) I'm not sure as a kid that I ever noticed one Dalek from another at any point in the history of the show, but the kid in me (who created a card-filing system to catalogue every episode, season, companion, Doctor, actor, writer, you get the idea) does love that other people had such keen interest.

Always blown away by the amount of detailed research that goes into these videos. Such an utter joy to watch.

I personally think this behind the scenes history of the Daleks is absolutely fascinating, showing us ( the Dr. Who audience at large ) all those interesting little bits and pieces that under normal watching conditions, none of us would ever notice. Thankyou, who would have guessed all these years later they could still generate such interest?

Please do more of these! Maybe tell us the history of Doctor Who's original Tardis set, and what happened to each version!

I love seeing non-show footage of 60s Daleks and Who monsters in general, especially when they're just out walking along the streets. Another fantastic video as always!

The gold Dalek from 'Day of the Daleks' also appeared in Episode 6 of 'Frontier in Space.'

Imagine just asking the BBC to borrow one of their expensive Dalek props for a car boot or something... and they say yes! You'd never get away with that nowadays

Love the research, love the presentation, magic! As an 8 year old in 1967 I thank you for the nostalgia.

It’s so awesome how much you can learn from a few minutes of footage, your mix of history and Daleks is so cool and inspiring!

these are THE highlight of my day anytime they are posted. absolute top tier content. thanks for all the hard work of everyone behind the scenes keeping this history alive! also the idea of a dalek leaving little footsteps in the rain is fantastic haha

Wow! sitting here late at night in the U.S . watching this video thinking what would the world do without the British! Thanks so much 🙏👍 love this old stuff 💞

This is, quite possibly, the most fascinating episode ever. And this is the same show that showed new photos of Dalek’s Master Plan in its first episode. To think that, even with all the research, we can just FIND a brand new Dalek publicity stunt out of nowhere…

This is a criminally unsubscribed channel, the detail in these videos are always top notch.

There's something charmingly British (or Pythonesque) about inviting fictional killer robots to a church fundraiser.

I bought a piece of Dalek 7 from Reliquary, a dream come true, love you videos please continue

It actually amazes me how long many of these props seem to have been in active use for if they were still using many of the original ones from the early shows in Remembrance of the Daleks.

Given how many tragic tales that exist about the fates of some Daleks, it's nice to hear a story that's almost a 'Little Dalek That Could' kind of thing.

All these years later & it still breaks my heart to see a Dalek prop in a skip!!! Unbelievable

Arguably the best series on KZfaq. Absolutely love the amount of detail and the monotone voice 😊

Really loved that. Please keep these coming. Narration is superb!

It's concerning how wrecked these dalek props get

Such detail and so clearly and accessibly presented as always.

This is brilliant, sweet, glorious, well researched and a little bit crazy. I love it so much!

I have had tea at that cafe many times over the years, never realised a Dalek vivited the site.

Excellent video as always guys! It's nice that the newly discovered footage has given us more of an idea what happened to one of these dalek props. Awesome stuff 🙂

I love this channel. It takes everyone back in time.

i would like to think that the Dalek parts that were in the skip got rescued by someone. my late father worked as a skip lorry driver and would salvage anything of interest he could, much to my mum's dismay.

Many thanks for the nostalgic dalek footage! I was born in '67 and happen to like vintage sci-fi. Interesting to see the BBC daleks on a publicity stunt, be it a charity or an expo. Must've been fun for the dalek operators, schoolchildren, and the Troggs--this was dalekmania in the late 60s! That's something seldom seen nowadays. 🚀🚀🌌🌠

Pure gold. Another great video. Look forward to these so much. Great work guys, as always.

Not a fan of Doctor Who at all, but totally blown away by the knowledge and research gone into the making of this video. There must be people all over the country with intrinsic knowledge like this. Very well described indeed.

On a sidenote,i met Peter Staples,The Troggs bass player and his wife on a train from Lisbon to Paris in 1982,in the same compartment i met Sheila from Canada who kept me in Paris for 3 days,if you read this Peter,thanks for the memories and those beers you got me!,and yes,i did sing for my supper.....I went on to become a repeat witness to UFOs in the 40 years in between,during my research i found out Peter had a UFO encounter with Reg Presley,i wish i had know this at the time.

Great video! Love the cine footage. I really liked the part at: 14:17 where you put a year label stamp on the prop. Almost cataloging it. Would like to see more of that for the other props. Gives me good OCD Vibes. 😁

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE your channel! All of this is just fascinating and entertaining. True Pop Culture History at a level of granularity one would have thought impossible!

I was on a school photography trip to Oxford recently and I walked past ship street and recognised it from this video! I tried to explain the significance of this street to my friends but they didn’t quite get it 😂

Love this kind of stuff. Keep up the good work!

Awesome video (as usual)!

Another fantastic video! And I loved the Longstanton Spice Museum email from Tim gag, proper belly laugh :) Superb work gents, thanks so much!

Wow, the color was so vibrant on that cine film! Great episode

I really enjoyed that! Amazing attention to detail. 👍

Always enjoy your channel your indepth research and attention to detail is never missed ...superb 👍👍👍

Absolute Splendid Video... My Thanks to Andrew for letting us enjoy part of our past that otherwise just was in our memories .. bur now lives AGAIN!

That was bloody fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks Andrew!

Excellent footage, research and presentation. Thank you!

Another fascinating video. Thanks :)

This is so fascinating, thanks to all who helped make it happen!

Great little bit of history.

Amazing details as always, wonderful stuff

Another fantastic, informative video - thank you! As someone who was captivated by the Daleks when they first appeared (I was 8 at the time) it amazes me just how much info about them is still to be learned if you know where to look! And, obviously, that's where your detective work shines - great work! It's always a pleasure when a new 63-88 video comes along. Oh, by the way, I see one of our Norfolk place names caught you out. There's plenty like that around here whose spelling bears little resemblance to how they are actually pronounced! 😁 - Tacolneston is actually pronounced more like "Tacklestone" - at least you didn't have to "tackle" Wymondham (Windham) or Happisburgh (Hazebro)!

Fantastic 👌🏽

What a superlative video, well done!! When you mentioned the Tacloneston Transmitter Open Day near Norwich, it brought back memories of playing inside a Dalek on the Jenny Lind ward of the old Norfolk and Norwich hospital around 1978 - I was almost 11 years old. Not sure why there was a Dalek there, and no idea if it was an actual prop or a life-size model, but you could certainly get in, sit, articulate the dome, arms and eye stalk, and move it around. Great memories...

Love these! I watched the intro 3 times, just cause I loved it so much!

I never realized Daleks were such bodyswappers.

Superb I’m going to send you photos on Wednesday from my collection it’s the best on the net this

Fascinating stuff !

Does anyone have any memory of a Dalek in Durham? I was in Durham’s Dryburn Hospital on the children’s ward in 1977 (the week of Saturday February 26th as the first episode of Talons of Weng Chiang aired and a visiting patent switched to ITV after 5 minutes). In the playroom/library conservatory of the ward was a full sized Dalek. It had seen better days, being chipped and scratched. It had wiring to the ear lights. At the time I thought it couldn’t have been a real prop as why was it abandoned in a hospital, but it was too well made to be a amateur model. That week had a mini Doctor Who exhibition in the hospital too. It was a welcome but surreal experience as I recovered from an operation aged 6. I can’t remember the colour scheme of the Dalek, I think a light silver with black hemispheres, different from my silver/blue Palitoy Talking Dalek (but the memory cheats). Later that year my dad made me a Dalek costume for the Silver Jubilee in Sherburn Village, Durham (it was white with red hemispheres, blue neck rings). I should have won the fancy dress competition easily but it frightened some of the smaller children so I was disqualified.

Wow, that is amazing

This guy is literally a detective

This is Brilliant History. Well done

I hope you do more of these videos there brilliant.

Wonderful, detailed and meticulous Who history as ever, cheers guys, always a pleasure.

Brilliant.

Totally fabulous, thanks

Great to see the Dalek at St Giles in Oxford. I came to Oxford when i was 5 in 77 and spooky worked in a shop right next to the church in the the footage in the 90's (Boswells) so thank you

This was so lovely! I have a weird question though, all the little scuffs and damage they accumulated - was that from being on set or was it from these public appearances? They seem to be treat quite roughly in some of this footage!

Such a amazing and a wonderful piece of history, thanks to the man in question, thank you so much, I love to see more apperances of my fav foes, heres that I hope im not the only one wishing there is media out there of some public apperances of 80s Daleks easpecially the Imperials, necros and SWD.... it looks to be a maybe... by the chances of these tape recordings, so who knows there maybe a camera in storage with some that will be unvailed soon .... fingers crossed Lovely work as always and hopefully more to come I hope.... Cameron

Wonderful

As a child i remember the Dalek at the St.Giles Fair Oxford.

It makes you wonder just how easy it was to hire out an actual BBC Dalek! Kudos to the church for thinking of it, but it would never have even occurred to me that one could ask. Maybe they knew someone in charge of the Daleks?

That was quite sweet!

that was an awesome video

Quality and detailed research, not to mention presentation. Being from Norfolk and an electrical engineer, a slight correction in the pronunciation of Tacolneston, pronounced Tackleston.

that was the year I was born and grew up fearing the terrifying creature. there was always a pillow at the back of the sofa. thanks for a dip in the past.

Wow...most interesting!

Love your videos, always pleased to see a new one... But have a minor suggestion- the background music was a bit loud and distracting. Maybe bring the volume down in future?

Can anyone explain why the Daleks in the 70's had a kind of oval plate in the centre of the shoulders? What was it supposed to be for? It's bugged me for years!! Great video again!

Excellent work guys! Just a quick question but what scanner did you use to transfer the cine footage? I can scan in up to 3K if you need anything doing

How about that scene where the Doctor, having blocked the only khazi in the Tardis, has to enlist the aid of a Dalek with its plunger thing to unblock it... or have I imagined that bit?

I wish I was old enough to have seen these old props in person =(

How did you stabilize the cine film frames to keep the subject centered (at the 8 minute mark, for example)? Another terrific video!

What a lovely piece of cine footage! The children's reactions are fantastic! (I do have to be a typical pedantic fan and mention that it's "Tackle-stn" rather than "Tackle-neston", though!)

That, s why Star Wars was so hugely succesful. Imagine that R2 was looked like that coffee tin .

If only Shawcraft or someone at the Beeb had put some markings inside the parts that formed the Daleks, the skirt of Dalek 2 would not have been placed under the dome of Dalek 7 and variety of variation thereof, you know what I mean, I can't remember what book it was, it may have been Doctor Who the Sixties, which had a lovely behind the scenes pic of a squad of Daleks waiting on the floor, before being taken to the location, and domes and skirts were probably mixed up then, because once the operator got out, no one could recall which two pieces were used and that's why switches occurred. But you know that.

Cool. This is like archaeology, the past being painstakingly reassembled from bits and pieces. What else is there possibly to know?

It’s amazing to me how often the BBC loaned out actual Dalek props for very minor local fundraising events.

Oh fuck, I wasn't expecting to see my hometown mentioned in one of these! That was a shock. Had no idea Maldon had ever had an event where a Dalek turned up :u

Wicked stuff as ever. It`s amazing how many Daleks or their parts just disappeared without trace over the years. Landfill? Someone`s shed? They`re out there somewhere.

GR8 vid, as usual! ... Jon Pertwee famously said that the Daleks were made from an Egg Whisk, a Sink Plunger, and Tennis Balls, and that they were "Ridiculous!" ... I started watching Doctor Who in 1971, with "Mind Of Evil" (the Keller Machine still creeps me out!) and I'm disappointed that Pertwee was so dismissive of the GREATEST TV VILLAIN IN HISTORY! ... Yes, on paper, the Daleks are indeed "ridiculous," but it didn't stop them being hugely popular for 59 years and counting! ... Long live the Daleks! ... S.O.S. "Sons Of Skaro!" EDIT: I'd also like to add, when I first encountered an ACTUAL DALEK, at the Blackpool Doctor Who Exhibition in 1974 (aged 11), I nearly shat myself! ... Kids burst into tears! ... Happy days!

Fab!

I haven't seen a Yeti since they were on Dr Who in the 60s until I watched this fascinating film. Yetis freaked me out far more than Daleks. Big hairy bastards.

Wow - and I thought I was a nerd!😊

What an awesome find! Do we know if the BBC differentiated the upper and lower sections for these appearances, or did they just select the nearest parts and ship them out?

Really interesting video! Love a bit of archive home film… Couldn’t hear the narration over the music, though… 😢

I love the title music from these videos. It reminds me of the music from Death To The Daleks, but is it just a rearrangement or a new composition?

Another great vid, I have one dalek question, why do they have little studs on top of their dome on resurrection?

This is great- I’m curious where that film of the domes being painted comes from? Is the whole thing available anywhere?

An actual Dalek was first prize in a competition run by the BBC in the 60s, I entered and won a lesser prize of a cardboard Dalek I had to assemble myself. On a side note I had a neighbour who was a cyberman he did extra work in Cardiff studios.

Standard 8 film is a lovely gauge. Scissors and glue to edit. I will pretend I did not hear that.
