Jay and Stu talk Doctor Who: Dalek (2005)

[@JRHainsworth]

Circumcision of the Daleks

[@JoboVT]

One of my favourite moments from dalek is when the dalek is fighting the soldiers and to show how smart a dalek is it goes the most efficient way of taking them all out by using the sprinklers to get water everywhere and then with one shot the water is electrified and kills everyone.

[@RyanJSmith]

To whoever made the fan arts, it's really cool you did the episode I suggested to Jay and Stu. Thank you

[@menwithven2862]

Thanks man! Hope you didn’t mind Frobisher, Peter Kay and Stephen Moffat showing up😂

Recently did a series 1 full watchalong. Watching all of it in two days. Holy shit, Dalek is so fucking strong! Great writing, great acting and a great story with godly music! Nothing will beat the RTD era at its BEST!

[@Solkpjish]

This episode showed me how amazing of an actor Christopher Eccleston is and I'm disappointed we only got him for one season. Up until now he was kind of goofy and capable of serious moments, but I was disturbed watching how quickly he flipped to being driven mad by grief. He acts so hard in this episode that at one point he begins to actually foam at the mouth. This is one of my all time favorite episodes.

Stu, will you be doing that video about Genesis of the Daleks as a He Who Moans or one of these videos with Jay?

[@Stubagful]

@@Jedi_Spartan possibly both

[@Jedi_Spartan]

@@Stubagful Also, at 1:10:16, do you still need to pay for Big Finish stories with that app because (given my lack of income) I've only been listening to the limited amount of Doctor Who audios found on Spotify and if that app gives people all of them for free, I may get it.

[@greghawkins59]

Jay: **interesting point** Stu:... yeah

[@dustinakadustin]

I'm rewatching New Who at the moment and yeah Dalek is just excellent. Definitely one of the best episodes in the shows history, I feel like you could show someone this episode and it'd work as a very good introduction to the doctor and his arch enemy.

[@____uncompetative]

DJ Chris Evans bought Billie Piper a £100,000 silver Ferrari covered in red roses despite the fact she couldn't drive. I can't drive either.

[@dustinakadustin]

The Dalek reminds me a lot of Darth Vader, it's expressionless but we get so much expression from it.

[@Jedi_Spartan]

I've got some possible discussion suggestions: 1) Best and worst of [Insert Villain Here] eg: Daleks, Cybermen, Master etc. 2) Some discussions on Big Finish stories that both of you have listened to.

[@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502]

I'd watch "absorbaloff" any day. Also Yeah, I almost wish this had been the last dalek story (at least specifically in the show) even if that means we would have lost parting of the ways.

[@peterthompson1989]

Love how casually stu mentions having drinks with Rob Shearman. One thing I was wondering. I remember before the show came back the Daleks might not have returned due to agreement issues with the Terry Nation estate. There was even a thing or maybe just a rumour when they sorted it that they didn't have the rights originally to say exterminate. Apparently RTD came up with the idea of the Toclafane way back in 2004 as a replacement. Do you think the show would have been a success or as big of a success if they hadn't been able to use the Daleks? I mean I also think the time war helped by adding some mystery and conflict that happened off screen during the wilderness years and wonder if the show would have still done this but with something else and would that be as affective e.g. cybermen instead of daleks

[@engineerforthefuture8593]

I'm excited for the standalone episode, " Abzorbalof"

[@hada__02]

I’m looking forward to “Scongo”

[@greghawkins59]

I like that they keep redesigning the tardis and the sonic, reflects the doctor's personality.

[@peterthompson1989]

I can live without the sonic redesign but I'm always interested to see what they can do to the console. Also like with the person playing the doctor if your not keen then at least it will change at some point. I'm not really a fan of 13s Tardis console room. Can't fully explain why but I think the others felt more open and played in far better to the bigger on the inside part. Ruth's console room however is beautiful

[@squishymusic9723]

Best Dalek episode I've seen, one of the few good ones IMO, actually gives them respect

[@jamesdunne8504]

There is a parallel universe where the Nation Estate didn't let the revival use the Daleks and this episode is about the last Quark in existence

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha goddamn, Jay talking about being 5/6 in 2005 makes me feel so old.. I was a sophomore in high school when new who came back, Tennant's run was through til senior year and a year after, Matt Smith was college and Capaldi was my mid 20s haha I mean '89 vs '99 isn't that big of a difference but it seems such a huge change from then to now

[@pyrosmantia8117]

with peace and love idk how you can say dalek is the best S1 story when the empty child/the doctor dances is right there

[@Log-On-Line]

season 1 i think is such a great season i love all the episodes in it not a single episode in that season makes me bored or not intrested in what happens

[@z9ey]

Wait Jay is actually trans omg sis 💖

[@thatoneguy4452]

The only issue with the episode being set in 2012 is that Stolen Earth and Journey's End presumably take place in 2008, so you'd think Henry Van Statten, Alex, and everyone else in the bunker would know what a Dalek is, unless the bunker the so secure that no-one's been out or had outside contact for several years. Then again, stuff like that happens all the time and cracks in time or whatever.

[@alexmelling5261]

Statten literally owns the internet tho, there's no goddamn way he wouldn't have found out

[@DonnaCPunk]

Or he truly knew and didn't care. Just the Doctor falling into his lap was very fortunate. I got the sense he mightve hoped the Doctor would know a way to make Daleks into a profitable commodity. Like the same dumb shit they've been doing for ages now - Weyland and the xenomorph, that recurring dumbassery in the Jurassic World films, etc.

[@harley69]

Or it’s the relativity of time. Maybe Van Statten’s museum did exist in 2012 but because of the events of Journey’s End, it doesn’t anymore, or maybe it existed in a different way. Time isn’t linear, remember?

[@JRHainsworth]

Didn’t they do that exact thing with the missiles and slow mo in Dalek, with its shield in slow mo melting the bullets, and it’s midsection turning as the new feature?

[@DrillEntertainmentNetwork]

except the slow motion and swivel is actually cool

[@scix8794]

Master is one of my fav audios

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I'm hyped for zygon cursed media

[@Backfisch5927]

I haven't seen this yet, I don't know if either of them mention this, but a tiny nitpick I have is that they have that one locked door with one billion combinations, and then the dalek wants to open it and the doctor says "A dalek can calculate one thousand billion combinations in a second" and then the dalek takes like 10 seconds to open it

[@MrDarthT]

I got the Second Empire reference. Mechmaster does good stuff.

[@Myne1001]

Reminder that 'Dalek' also predicted the 2012 Presidential Election too

[@YEs69th420]

literally 50/50

@@YEs69th420 I know but it's still an accurate prediction. There was a 50% chance they could've got it wrong.

[@Mayeur000Donz]

I would've replaced "the woman you love" with "the people you love". Seems like "love" being used in a more oldschool "I have fondness" way, that applies to platonic relations.

You should actually make those episodes you thought up, but do off brand name changes to avoid copyright infringements.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

I would allmost agree Ecclestones so good in that scene, but not the best He captures the doctors intensity so well after the time war But I would say Tennant has a few better scenes about it and his reaction But Capaldi still has the best speeches for sure, gotta say. He wins for acting chops Zygon inversion and heaven sent still get me

[@noahbanks5876]

Dalek copied the flying seen from remembrance of the Daleks

[@peterjoyfilms]

Dalek did it better though

[@rhodriwilliams2599]

I think remembrance of the Daleks wasn’t at the forefront of people’s memory in 2005, everyone was still taking the piss out of the Daleks stairs thing so having that moment was still impactful.
