Mr TARDIS , you are a liar . The first dalek story is the 1963 - 64 version . I have divided the original doctor who series into 3 parts . The Golden Age starring William Hartnell and Patrick Thoughton . The Silver Age starring Jon Pertee and Tom Baker . And lastly the Bronze Age starring Peter Davison , Collin Baker and Sylvester McCoy . Also the BBC should have never cancelled the original Doctor Who Series . Each episode ended with a cliffhanger . Cliffhanging endings are largely missing from the Doctor Who Series from this Century .

[@ob2kenobi388]

Yep. It mirrors real-life nazis, as well. Nazis require there to be a target-some group of people that they can oppress to convince themselves they're superior. Whether it's jews or queers or communists or what-have-you, they need a target. Their ideology cannot survive without a victim. This naturally means that a nazi "victory" (god forbid) would be quickly followed by infighting over who is "the most pure". If the Axis had won WWII (they couldn't have, I consider it completely impossible, but if they had), I can absolutely guarantee that Germany and Italy would turn on Japan for not being white enough, then Germany would turn on Italy for not being German enough, then Germany would tear itself into a thousand pieces because their hatred would have no other outlet.

[@richardgregory3684]

Actually Davros designed his own mobile life support system. The superb Target novelisation of Remembranc eof the Daleks gives a great backstory to Davros. After his laboratory was struck by a Thal atomic shell, the Kaleds debated whether to keep him alive; it was only due to his brilliance they decided to spend the large amount of resources to do so. When Davros first saw what he had become he screamed in horror, so they anaesthetised him. Later they left him in a room with a mirror and a switch that controlled a lethal poison. Davros accepted his new self, and was filled with a terrible determination. At that point he assumed leadershipp of the Scientific Elite saying he would give theKaleds victory.

I assumed the Nightmare Child was one of many beings who used the Dalek attack on Gallifrey to launch attacks of their own. The Timelords had many enemies, due to their supremacy over time, and were willing to help even the Daleks to end this. However, I assumed they were all destroyed by both Timelords and Daleks alike, as this was obviously a private party.

An excellent video detailing the Dalek's history. The amount of effort you put in your videos is astounding as ever.

[@albertcapley6894]

I read somewhere, exactly once, and I can't remember where, but the implication was that, at some point, the Daleks are the target for mind transference with the Yithians from the Lovecraft story "A Shadow out of Time" (and many others). The most obvious justification for this is the obvious resemblance between the Dalek "suits" and the physical appearance of Yithians, a central conical mass with every interactive "organ" being placed on the end of a stalk which extends from this central mass. Given how they were humanoid originally, it makes sense that the Yithians switched minds with them and it was the Yithians minds who influenced the design of the armoured suits. One reason this is a particularly good theory is because the Yithians spend centuries studying any species they decide to switch minds with before actually doing it, so that they can do this without any other beings noticing that it has happened. So they work very hard to maintain the ruse that they don't exist, having been wiped out some 850 million years before the present day, the truth is that they put the minds of an entire species into their bodies just before they were wiped out, and they do this same process every time their "hosts" are on the verge of extinction. Therefore they maintain their technology, and use it to subtly advance the technology of their "host" species, again trying not to alert any outsiders that that has even occured. The desperation which lead to the creation of Daleks is likely the influence which pushed them from feeling apathetic towards other species, to actively hating all others, particularly the time lords, who realistically are the only ones who could even figure out the Daleks aren't even Daleks but Yithians.

[@MrUndersolo]

This was not bad. I have 'The Dalek Handbook' and it is hard to create a straight handbook for them. Also, I have been a fan since I saw No. 4 in 'Genesis of the Daleks' and have been fascinated by them ever since! Good work, sir!

[@royhay5741]

The renegade Daleks brought Davros back to Skaro to stand trial as well as his new Necros Daleks to be reconditioned. Davros and his Daleks quickly overpowered the renegade Daleks, kicking them off Skaro and claiming the planet for themselves, becoming their planet.

[@wolfehoffmann2697]

This was done quite very well! It's missing some things, which isn't the fault of the writer, more because the BBC destroyed many episodes, and unpublished stories. This was a very nice refresher, as I saw clips of episodes I didn't even know existed. I'm from the USA, so growing up, our entire country only knew of doctor #4, Tom Baker. I didn't even know about regeneration because our networks not only only showed us Tom Baker, but also never showed past episodes played by other actors, including any episode that even mentioned a word of it. The only thing I give credit to, in regards to the networks broadcasting the show in the USA, was channel 9, the first network to broadcast the show. To bad the BBC didn't hold off on killing all those episodes, because that first ever showing would have proved the past episodes had more life to them. Sadly, not the case. The executives for channel 9 broadcasted the first ever doctor who here which was the one I saw when I was 8 one Saturday. Sadly I had missed the first episode and tuned into the one episode that got me hooked on the show, which was Tom Baker trying to prevent their creation. Moment I saw the mark 3 travel machine, and Davros, I litterly said Space Nazzis!!! That episode got me so hooked on the show, was the first show, not a cartoon, I was willing to watch. Very very captivating. Next few years, other networks, like Connecticut Public Television, who helped me to go to my first Doctor Who convention and meet Collin Baker in person. PBS was responsible for spilling the beans over here that Tom Baker was not the only one. Sadly, they did these out of order, so was just dumbfounded seeing Aderick, and some blond guy I at first thought were trying to rescue Tom Baker, until Aderick said "Doctor...." That not only threw me through a loop, it got me in serious trouble with my mom for the $48 phone call I made to the network, asking where the hell did they put Tom Baker!!!??? I still feel the sting of that phone bill!! Spoke to the director of Connecticut PBS who didn't want to ruin the show for me, so just said Regeneration... Keep watching. If they didn't want to ruin it, they should have kept the episodes in order. That I found out In later years, was the BBC stupidity. They seeing their cash cow, priced the episodes too high, so only a select few made it to the USA late 80s. BBC got so greedy, it caused the shows cancelation. Thank God someone like me, loved the show enough to reboot it in 2005. I love the reboot as much as the oldies, but sadly Tom Baker had to share the spot lite with David Tennant. My two favorites!!

[@randomericthings7506]

Someone theorized that Davros uses emergency temporal shift to escape the Crucible. We’re never shown him dying we just see flames erupt in front of him and then cut to the Doctor as he screams. That would explain why Davros is dying all of the sudden in “The Magician’s Apprentice”; the emergency temporal shift left him on the verge of death.

In Genesis they are at the _end_ of a thousand years of war. The nuclear, biological and chemical weapons were used in the first century.

The war has turned into a grinding attrition and a stalemate similar to World War One , neither side can win, their resources are exhausted to the point where they are starting to use more and more primitve weapons - even spears and bows and arrows.

Great video, loved to be able to see things in a straight line.

The Daleks have such tragic life. I can only hope they would be cured from hatred into something more conscience to follow than killing them. Not only they look astonishingly awesome beings but also one of the few surviving species who felt so desperate to seek out any possibilities for survival and restore the empire again.

We NEED an Evil of the Daleks animation

Good news it’s coming

[@jimgravesus]

Well done. Very entertaining.

That was fantastic. I often wondered what it would be like to see the Daleks from their time perspective. I must have miss-remembered though, as I thought the 4th incarnation of the Doctor, (Tom Baker), accidently helped create the Daleks.

I know it's unlikely that this will happen, but it would be really cool if after the boss fight with Mephiles, there was a cutscene where he notices the change in time and the fact that Shadow doesn't remember him and he disappears for a while, then there could be a post-credit scene showing him escaping to the restored present after the defeat of the Time Eater and Black Doom.

My word, that was comprehensive to say the least. As a kid in America I grew up watching and loving Baker introduce us to Doctor Who you can't have Doctor Who without having the iconic enemy what's a distinctive voice yelling exterminate exterminate exterminate!

“So the Daleks just built a Time Machine” truly, a Tuesday afternoon.
