How Did A Crime Create the Dalek Supreme? | Terry Nation Army | Ep 6

[@vyr01]

I love the fact that there are enthusiastic fans who will take the time to document this minutiae so I may enjoy it

[@britanimations2002]

Blackburn stole the Dalek I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!!!!

[@dreamcastfan]

Amazing, I never imagined the history of that Dalek Supreme prop could be so convoluted, especially when it comes to marrying up different top and bottom halves.

[@ohmydinosare]

A great final episode to the series, the black and gold Planet supreme is probably my favourite design from the show, it's just so distinctive, so it's fascinating to learn so much about the prop's history. Enjoy your break, you've earned it.

[@garybryant1501]

A Purple Dalek I want one now 😁 nice to know I'm not the only person who loves these pepperpots maybe even more than their parent series 👍

I’ve heard the Dalek Time Strategist is colored purple

[@davidmccann9811]

@Ciaran Eldrett It would. I'm sure the audio is available.

[@menwithven2862]

Still don't know how you condense all this research into 20ish minutes and yet keep it so compelling.

[@chriswinwood6501]

It’s the casual mention of Cliff Culley’s diary that made my head fall off. How on Earth (or Venus or Mars) do you do this? Amazing. Don’t stop.

[@V-grandraccoon]

This was a lovely series. It’s also nice to see your channel blow up after watching your more random videos for years now.

[@Dalek6388]

Yes thanks! It’s just goes to show what putting a bit more effort in will achieve! 😂

[@andykey78]

This whole series has been amazing! The level of detail and research has been incredible. Like many comments I have waited to watch each episode to make sure I can pay full attention with no interruptions which is rare for me to do.

[@davidmullen6011]

Thoroughly enjoyable series! This channel fully deserves a wider audience... This episode got quite complicated, with all the swapping of Dalek parts and the ongoing alterations of the Nation Dalek props, but what I felt was most interesting is your research on how Terry Nation was influenced by 'Countdown' and the power of Colour to sell both the Daleks, and generate ideas. It's easy to forget that back in the early 70s colour in entertainment was very special, as it was so sparsely used - most people still watched B&W television, comics were still mostly B&W of duo-tone, and so when you had 'Countdown' arrive on the shelves this was a comic that was a cut above most others on the shelf... Colour comics offered visual appeal and an enormous Pull-factor obviously, but to a creator like Terry Nation they offered 'ideas'. Suggestions. Seeing his Dalek creations being used and illustrated so imaginatively certainly does seem to have fired his imagination, and ambitions. And while you seemed to tippy-toe around the subject of whether Gerry Haylocks work was influencing _Nation's_ approach from this point on, or whether there was something particular influencing Haylock with _his_ colour choices, you certainly did a good job in highlighting how Nation could be very strongly influenced by other media, and advertising. Today we're saturated with Multi-Media. Back in the early 70s though Media was limited, often in B&W, and it took something as imaginative and special like 'Countdown' or TV Comic to break those accepted boundaries, and show a different way to 'do' things. As a fan of that Countdown comic it's so nice to see just *how* influential it actually was...

Loved every minute of these episodes, I love the detail you guys went into and the amount of time you have used to research and write these. The colourisation of he photos was amazing too. Honestly was better than than most TV documentary’s I have seen! And your voice is perfect for narrating, sound classy, cool and tough. (Maybe the next David Attenborough?)

FYI, those 2 missing daleks weren't stolen. They escaped.

[@ephwhomera4312]

I don’t use this word often... but this is simply gorgeous. Are there any more photos of the Selfridges 77 display? I cannot believe I have not seen anything from this before!!! Simply stunning stuff.

[@Dalek6388]

We have searched and searched for more images of the Selfridges display but never turned up any. I’m sure there must be some around but there are people who don’t know how important they are!

[@ephwhomera4312]

Dalek 63•88 I just can’t believe I’ve not seen that photo before. It’s a thing of beauty - the Zygon there!! I’d need to check but would this have been loaned from Blackpool at the time, as I’m sure there was only one costume on display around this time? Where did you discover if I may ask, or has it been readily available for a long time and I’ve just been completely out of the loop!? It’s amazing that we’re finding out so much more about the show as we march further and further on from its original transmission. You’re doing wonderful work for the show discovering this stuff. As a long time follower, I cannot wait for more!! ❤️❤️

[@Dalek6388]

Doctor Who - 1990 it was part of a Pathe newsreel video. If you search KZbin for Selfridges toy fair 1977 then you should find it!

[@Grinder-one]

The majority of us have probably waited 40+ years for this series. I still remember diving into the bottom of the weetabix box's each week to get my Dr Who cardboard figures, and it was almost 40 years to the day that Destiny of the Daleks hit our screens. As I was almost 13 then, this is the series I remember the most as I had been counting the days since seeing an advertisment.

[@Dalek6388]

Thank you!

[@britanimations2002]

So I'm ever so slightly confused, if two Daleks were stolen, (presumably you meant the top of the original Planet Supreme and the bottom of the stunt Dalek) what happened to the skirt that was recovered? You said one of the Dalek, (halves) was found and since the original Planet Supreme wasn't in Planet I assume the skirt was found and then left without a top half

[@Dalek6388]

Two Daleks were stolen from the purple records stunt. But one complete one was found. So he had three left by that time.

[@britanimations2002]

@@Dalek6388 So the whole of the stunt Dalek was stolen then?

[@Dalek6388]

From the record promo, the top of 11 and the skirt of 19 was stolen. So, the top of the prop destined to be the Supreme in Planet and the skirt of the Supreme from 2150 Ad. The complete stunt Dalek vanishes after the Swales motors visit. It may have been stolen as we have heard a story that one was stolen from the Selfridges display either when they were setting up or getting them ready to send back to Nation

[@davidthedeaf]

@@Dalek6388 I wish the thieves would return them.

[@RiainRamblez]

It always amazes me how many weird and quirky Daleks came out of the 4 stage props. Different arms, guns, eyes, "ears", and of course the rainbow of colors applied. It's like a slideshow of knock off Daleks.

Every time I hear more about the behind the scenes info on the Daleks, the more I realize it's one gigantic mess that generally always comes down to "We don't own our villains and the owner keeps trying to do his own thing with them!"

Thank you for uploading this wonderful series, I'm sad to see that this is the end as I've always enjoyed watching those videos. In fact whenever you'd upload one it would be one of the main highlights of my week, no kidding! Honest! In fact I always enjoyed being told facts about our program that I never even thought to think of, which did make me feel a little like a member of the Tribe of Gum (or should that be 'the Tribe of Orb'? Never mind) which means that while I'm not completely stupid like an Ogron (otherwise I'd have been zapped by the Doctor by now) but rather ill informed, but at the same time to be capable of learning, indeed you could say that this has been quite my Dawn of Knowledge Hmm??? Dear dear, now where were we? Oh yes... Hopefully you will upload more Who related vids in the future, I also like the fact that you corresponded so nicely with your subscribers (I'm one of them by the way) and I liked the way that you enjoyed my little jokes and references to various aspects of all things (Classic) Who.

Thanks for an amazing series. 1: Surprised how often the publicity pics used props with just 2 busted tubes instead of an arm & a gun! 2: First time I've ever known about Nation's two 'Mark 7' toys - wonder where they each ended up? 3: I always thought the stolen Dalek prop stories were a myth or prank - it'd be incredible to know their actual fate? 4: With Nation's props having different origins & ownership to the BBC classic props seen on TV, there must be a whole other story about those & where they've all ended up? Can't wait for series 2.

[@projectdalekmark]

@@Dalek6388 I'd love to know what the eye is made up of. both the white slotted plastic tube over the torch and the barrel of the torch, I don't think were actually part of a real torch. I notice the mirrored cone of the light isn't fixed into the housing (as it wobbles in its housing as the dome turns) which makes me think that something behind the bulb/wiring was pushing it out or wasn't countersunk. The barrel/handle also looks like it had a piece of acrylic tube placed over it with a bolt going through to secure it to the end of the stalk.

They never seem to use Dalek props to their full potential in the TV series, look at the fairly recent episodes where lots of old Daleks came back only to sit in the background whilst the 2005 models get all the lines.

[@Nige031077]

I really like the look of the Daleks in DTTD, as apart from Asylum of the Daleks (and even then, their appearance was briefly visible) they never popped up in Classic DW again, not even in The Curse of Fatal Death (unless I'm wrong).
