Thank you! The one thing I had never yet seen was the inside of an original Dalek prop, now I can die happy.

Barry is my hero! I attended your show in Vancouver, Canada.

Very interesting! Thank you!

Thank you, Chris, for this fantastic video. Did that polyurethane plunger do the trick? If you need the correct bell shaped plunger for his remembrance appearance just let me know. I'm overjoyed you have one of my plungers on a magic pice of history. I hope to get a pair of of my resin beakers on the first film drone prop JK's just done a Fantastic restoration of, too. If you ever get the time could you send me a picture of classic monster with your new plunger on. I'd love to see it. Interestingly the bottom plywood return on the shoulders there are not the original but put in place for 'The Five Doctors'. You'll notice it follows the interior of the bands & not the fibreglass shoulders as per the originals. This was likely due to the original Shawcraft wood being chewed up beyond repair with the locating pegs damaging it. The new plywood is screwed directly to the shoulder bands which also gives the prop extra height. The neck may also be a complete swap from a goon. At least I think it is...

My Dad was a scenery shiftier at the BBC in the early 60s. When I was 4 he took me to the Dr Who studio and I was up close to daleks and saw the interior Tardis scenery. A day of excitement for me, but the end result was that it demystified Dr Who for me completely!

Fascinating video and an incredible collection.

This was absolutely fascinating! You really must show more of these beautiful props from the show history. Thank you for saving these beautiful works of art for future generations of Who fans.

Thank you, Chris. This was fascinating. I was born in 1963 & was told I watched the first Dalek episodes with my mum. I do remember “Remembrance…” though. What a joy to find out some of the first Dalek was in that special story. I found more joy in your video than I am in the current series. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you. As a child in the 1960’s I remember my brother and I hiding behind the couch terrified when the darleks came on. Thought with the more modern Dr who, they’ve sort of become Star Wars storm troopers than monsters.

are you with me fellas?

Wow that was really interesting and informative. Its amazing this prop survived this long

This was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this piece of history. Do you have any close up photos of the different bits that you could possibly share?

Thank you for telling us about this!

That prop builder you mentioned, that wouldn't happen to be a chap called Anthony from PB Props?

Thank you for this video, very interesting

WooWsa I found that mesmerising ......Thank You ...........great history and Brilliant its survived and in such a beautiful state now 🙂

Chris , I'm In the US, looking for closeup pics of the Whomobile , I am building one full size . do you know where I can find them?

For those too young, google Sit On My Face by Monty Python!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one in our backyard, and next door have a small tree/bush on their fence, and there's a small gap in the top where the robin comes and goes, and i always put bits of food on the fence for it. I've tried holding my hand out for it, but up to now I've had no luck. How do i get it to feed off my hand?

I was lucky enough to have Dalek 1 at home for a week back in 1981. It was to be used at our local school fete, and as we lived very close to the school it was delivered to us for safe keeping. According to the gurus at the Dalek68-88 website it was the top of Dalek 1 and the skirt of Goon 2, a later built series prop. I has 13 at the time and spent the day of the fete inside it operating the dome, plunger and ray gun to the sounds of the Dalek speeches I had edited on to cassette tape from the BBC Records release of Genesis Of The Daleks LP. I’ve still got pictures of me with it, both standing beside and sitting in the skirt section like Davros. Then a few years on, the same top section (Dalek 1) now coupled with Skirt 7 appeared in the Five Doctors. I’m told the skirt section of Goon 2 which it was married to when it was with us, was used as the exploded base in the Five Doctors where you can see the creature inside. I must get down to Beaulieu to see it once more, 43 years on! Great video Chris, many thanks for uploading it.

This is really interesting and I hate to be "that guy" but "the chase" was in the middle of the Hartnell era, before Patrick Troughton

Ty for videos!!!

PLRASE TEACH ME TODO THIS TO MY ROBIN ...HES MY BABY HE RETURNS E ERY SPRING

A,true genius 😢 RIP

Is this his last appearance on UK TV?

love robins, theres a few in my garden and 1 has become very friendly since ive been digging it up worms, when i sit outside it flies and sits on my foot, it landed on my hand for the first time a few days ago...i bet if i get some mealworms it will do it again

That summer, our coach from Taunton was heading to Southsea to catch the IOW hovercraft, when we passed the studios & saw the giant banana outside!

The old dear looks like he hit he complimentary bar prior...

He was hysterically funny in all his guises (and I really enjoyed his humour) but I heard he was a right b’stard in real life.

Graton Black bird or mother with young ones?

Brilliant. You can tell Matt is a little nervous about what Barry is going to say, but at the same time, he knows it is going to be funny.

Amazing video. Well done. It takes great patience and consistency to achieve such trust from any bird, let alone two.

Great video. Very well done.

Saw Les live many years ago. As he looked down on the audience he said to a lady - didn’t you used to be my secretary? I recognise the top of your head.

Brilliant. Never fails to have me in stitches. A sad loss for ‘fun’ comedy. The guys (?) timing was impeccable. And the facial expression on delivery. Just brilliant! The new blood should take note of what real comedy is!

A comedy genius, but this is a steal from an Ivor Cutler song 'Bend Down and Tell Me You Love Me'.

Muff diving

A very funny man for sure

Hopefully I'm going to be heading there tomorrow, I cannot pass up a chance to see the original Dalek 1-7, who's not only been a key part of Dalek prop history, but would be the third prop I've seen irl from Remembrance

The genius at work - superb

Saw him (as Edna) take questions from an American audience in the 80s. A lady asked, "do you watch Dallas?" Edna replied, "Dallas watches me."

Brilliant.

He was so so funny

They absolutely weren't ready for that

Absolutely brilliant sadly missed 😂😂

Good morning!

Les Patterson was genius i wish it ran for longer 😂 filthy but i loved him

Ah yes Saturday kitchen where the most annoying man in the world produces the most inedible food in the world and forces laughter on his guests

It’s a twist on Billy Connolly similar joke on Parkinson years ago, he said he’d written a song called ‘How can I tell you that I love you when you’re sitting on my face’

It took me a long moment to get the joke. Funny how the lady chef got the joke straightaway 😂😅
