01: The Archive of Islos | DALEKS! | Doctor Who 

Dalek Emperor: "When we arrive, I shall destroy you!" A.I.: "Understandable, have a great day".

At last, Terry Nation’s wish of a standalone Dalek series has been fulfilled.

Asking the Dalek Emperor if he wants a membership card after he blows up the visitor center 💀💀💀💀

"You are defenseless!! " "WE HAVE A VERY BIG DOOR" in door we trust

Imagine if the Dalek Emperor said yes to a Membership Card. The balls on that archivist

“The Daleks have come for the vault!” “Would you like a membership card?” 😂😂😂

"Do you want a membership card?" SASSY QUEEN!

Having the Daleks isolated from the Doctor and the confines of normal Doctor Who episode structure is just so refreshing. I love how they all have different personalities and morals!

Emperor: "You have nothing to stop us." Archivian (?): "We have a very large door." I haven't laughed like this since the sass battle between Daleks and the Cybermen 🤣🤣🤣

Archivist: it is incalculable Head archivist: then calculate it

Loving the Dalek Strategist. Notice how he's so much older than the rest of the Daleks, with a visibly older style of casing. I feel there's a lot of character to be explored there, which is not something you can say of most Daleks.

Love how the strategist is an original dalek from early Who. Nice touch. And the emperor with his massive dome... almost sounded like tom baker for a bit as well! Loved this! Dalek arrogance played so well!

3:10 Dalek Emperor: "You are defenceless" "wE hAvE a VeRy lArGe dOoR"

Dalek Emperor: Wants to win. Dalek strategist: Wants to know. Dalek Executioner: Wants to destroy. They are all daleks but with a little something that make them unique, that's what i was wishing for! THANK YOU! :D

I love this new restoration empire. They actually gave the different command Daleks subtly different personalities unlike the paradigm, which were just Daleks with different colours.

Civilians: *Exist* Daleks: *Genocide intensifies*

The animation is still a bit weird it looks like a PS2 game but The story is amazing 9/10

Channel: doctor who Series: daleks! Me: ok good

Ok, the emperor is my favorite Dalek. It has such a cocky personality.

The Daleks vs the Archivists: When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. This was really getting some heat at the end though! I already see the Daleks have goofed big time with their greed, probably more than they bargained for.

Quite a few cool new Dalek characters! It's great to see the Golden Emperor finally star on-screen too.

I like the concepts explored by this little episode, regarding the Daleks in particular. They're often portrayed as mindless killing machines and lately have only been shown as merely instruments of death, which is one of their functions, but only a part of it. I like how they actually incorporated a Dalek Strategist to show the more cunning side of the hatred that the Daleks represent. It offers a more sophisticated and conniving side to hate, the actual tact and thought that sometimes goes into the calculations and machinations of evil that so often characterizes that sort of malevolence. It is too often forgotten that ruthlessness is not always unfettered destruction, it is also calculated, unfeeling moves made to both incur suffering and maintain the upper hand, which is what can maximize the effect of ruthless regimes like the Daleks, so I like that they incorporated the strategist. I also love the fact that the strategist was an older Dalek, implying that the species does undergo development and experience as it's members age, showing that the Daleks actually are beings, and also expressing the idea that the Dalek race does not exist in "stages" of transitioning from one model to another, and that they do experience "evolution" and have a mingling of generations, so to speak. I also like how there was a degree of personality to each Dalek in the episode, with the Strategist being more subtle and intelligent while the executioner was brash and paranoid. This reveals that there can be some distinctiveness to the Dalek personality and that their true evil can take a wider swath of the spectrum, which really opens up more possibilities for the sorts of altercations we can have with them in the future. Lastly I was a big fan of how the 3 main Daleks of the episode, The Emperor, The Executioner, and The Strategist, each had their own slightly distinctive and independent voices. The Emperor was authoritative and grand sounding, reflecting his eminence and power as Emperor, the Executioner was jumpy and had ferocity, displaying his role as the killer and destroyer (ie an Executioner), and the Strategist was covert and low-voiced, representing his position as the thinker and tactician of the group. Overall I got a lot of good signs about the development of the Daleks, my favorite aliens and possibly favorite part overall of Doctor Who.

I love the heavy synth used for the background music, its very reminiscent of the 60's and I also love how the strategist is a battered 60's style dalek

I love this new Emperor. He’s like a sadistic manipulator.

The animation is a bit iffy, but I'm always down for MORE DALEKS!!!

This is what I have been waiting for. Daleks taking over planets and no humans.

*The irony when the Daleks are the ones in the conversation speaking ‘regularly’*

*The Strategists voice is so goddamn phenomenal*

To anyone complaining about the animation quality, just remember that this is additional content that was produced during a pandemic and can be watched for FREE. There's really no need to complain - just enjoy it! I personally thought it was a great first episode. And after that cliff-hanger I'll definitely be tuning in for future episodes!

They have made the Daleks actually *scary and terrifying* again, I'm TOTALLY IN for this web series. LONG LIVE THE DALEKS!!

This is basically the dalek version of clone wars. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm liking it so far.

It's nice to see the Daleks having lots of dialogue.

I know the animation is low-budget but it actually has a great style lol - it looks comic-booky

Very enjoyable first part! Also am I the only one who likes the emperor's design? 😅

5:08 - I'm not completely sure why, but this scene really gives me some "Dark Crystal" vibes. The "strategist" is probably a new favorite Doctor Who character for me.

am i the only one who thought: "donna noble has left the *archives* " "donna noble has been *saved* "

I’m just happy that the fandom is staying alive enough for something like this to be possible. And big thanks to the folks behind the whole time lord victorious stuff, really getting us through COVID when there’s nothing fresh to watch anymore

Really excited for the rest of the series, please tell me it's a weekly thing

I love the minimalistic, but detailed art style and the classic style of music. I quite like where this is heading.

“We offered them…you!” From that sentence alone, you can catch the implications that The Mechanoids want some revenge on the Daleks for what happened in the past EDIT: Aight, so it wasn’t the Mechanoids coming through the portal but in the newest episode, it looks like they still want Daleks dead

Why are people hating on this animation, we’re being given free content, it’s a RU-vid video do you really think the bbc would give it a big budget? They’ve done well be considerate

Dalek Emperor: WHAT DID YOU OFFER THEM??!! Bot: We offered them, you Dalek Emperor: sh*t

Love it. Always great to see the Daleks exercise their cunning and cold-hearted manipulation so they aren't just reliably defeatable baddies who shoot everything that moves. Also really enjoyed seeing that the Strategist is an old school generation one Dalek from the 1st Doctor's first adventures.

The particle effects are a bit naff but this rules. The executioner is so cool.... The strategist dalek sounds so sinister. I love it.

This better be on DVD, in some shape or form!!! This is amazing!

So the graphics are a little low budget, yeah, but I think they're well done for what they are, especially in the midst of a pandemic. The storyline's decent, and it seems like the voice actors were having fun with it. For a RU-vid short, I think they did well. Sticking around for the next one.

They do daleks extremely well. Brutal, Merciless, and intelligent.

A thrilling opener with such sublime results, from the animation to the suspenseful plot. Daleks couldn't satisfy me enough!

Love it! Terry Nation would be proud.

The Daleks are leveling cities like they are nothing! This is the destructive side of them we rarely ever see! Just make Doctor Who an animated series from now on!

When I used to read The Daleks in TV 21, I really wanted a toy/model of The Golden Emperor. I want one even more now!

That archivist needs to be a companion! "Would you like to apply for a membership card?". " We have a very large door". 🤣

The sound mix was PHENOMENAL

I really enjoyed this! Also the reason the animation is like this I think is because it's trying to look the the graphics of the tv21 comics.

Whoever made this got the animation budget equal to the cost of a small sandwich and they still made something cool.

This reminds me of the old TV Century 21 Dalek comic, right down to the Dalek Emperor having a larger head and the flying platforms. Really enjoying this so far, the strategist's rusted/beaten shell and twisted logic makes you think they've seen some things. Meanwhile you've go the executioner who is just trigger happy and ready to shoot anything, it's nice to see different dalek roles being played out like this, as though it's what we would have gotten if the the new dalek paradigm idea wasn't abandoned.

I found that more entertaining than series 11 of Doctor who.

This was great! Well done Doctor Who team! Been loving every element of the Time Lord Victorious saga so far and cannot wait to see how "Daleks!" factors into it all! Roll on Episode 2!

Hello, yes, I have a complaint... It's too short!

OMG That Cliff hanger!

The Dalek emperor looks like Kim Jong Un

The story and writing has the same charm/humour of the 1960s comics. Love it.

This looks like the opening cutscene to a shooter from the early-mid 200s lol

More... this is a great start and a return to the vibes of classic Who!

Who else loving time lord Victorious?

Does anyone else's mind go Doooooweeddoooooooo randomly too?

5:12 The Emperor sounds fearsome but man, the voice of the Strategist just makes your skin crawl.

Digging the soundtrack, proper vintage space vibes

Love the comments, who disliked before it started, what about everyone that liked without watching it first?

That was actually REALLY great to watch. I was confused with the Daleks being manipulators but it worked well that it got turned around on them. One problem though I had was with the Emperor. I get that the classic series, thats what it looked like, but I feel the new series design, with the emperor being a huge, in charge, non movable being is much more imposing.

Intriguing start, I’m liking the animation style and the Dalek voices are as great as usual. Hope this is a success because more animated Doctor who spin-offs is something I think could work really well for the franchise.

Man that robot lady was high on sass

The story, writing, animation and soundtrack are fantastic. Felt like Classic Who.

I think the "textureless" models give it some charm, the actual animation isn't that bad. I like it.

This series is like the chase and that’s the best possible complement I could give.

“Do you wish to apply for a membership card?” 😂 love it!!!!

I imagine this is what a nicotine patch is like for smokers trying to give up smoking feels like. Looking forward to more and sustain me until new who is released!

I want spider daleks to be a thing, great big ones

Noone gonna talk about how the Dalek Executioner looks dope as hell?

The simple, stiff animation honestly suits a series about daleks pretty well. Their movements are just as lively as in live action footage anyway.

This is how the Daleks should be in the actual television series as in recent years they haven't been as ruthless and cunning since the early Russel T Davis era but the Dalek episode ''Resolution'' was a step in the right direction to bring them back as the ruthless evil conquers that Davros intended them to be.

That was far more entertaining than the last two series on the BBC.

Could really go for a series 2 right now.

I do love how "Classic" these Daleks felt. Like something we'd see in the old series. It's cool seeing a fully fledged Dalek Empire

The animation really doesn't look very good but (in my opinion) the actual story and contents are on point

Okay Who disliked this vid before it started, explain

I would love to see the dalek empire grow in power so much that they imprison the doctor at the end of the series

The comic like aspect of it looks so cool and the daleks voice is so good too

Absolutely love it! And I actually really like the animation... Seems more stylised than low quality *Time Lord Victorious Comic Spoilers* I'm guessing this is going to the the prelude to the Comics and the thing from the portal will be theHond

that leader women was so sassy to the emperor lol

Nick Briggs voice range is just so good

I love the emperors voice how he convays his frustration and rage

This is really good! I can’t wait to see more of it

That was really good! I mean, the toxic portion of the fan base is going to complain about the animation quality, which, you know, clearly isn’t Pixar, but when the storytelling is good, who cares? Good job guys and gals. Ignore the daleks in the comments and keep up the good work!

The dialogue in the first couple of minutes is hilarious, it's like Garth Merenghi's darkplace. 'The damage is incalculable' 'calculate it'

Lot of detailed work and good story. Very much the start of a Dalek epic .

I would love to see the dalek empire in live action please 🙏

Much better than I expected! Can't wait for the next part.

Good fun and a wonderful tribute to the classic Dalek comics. Thank you.

That weapon that Davros made for the Dalek's for self defence was so far ahead of its time. Here the Daleks are so many years later and that weapon still kills everything in a single shot.
