DALEK DESIGNS WORST TO BEST *OUTDATED*| Doctor Who Ranking 

Want to see where the REVOLUTION Dalek ranks? As well as the new designs from the Timelord Victorious Series?! Check Out the UPDATED Ranking of Dalek Designs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KJzAla0pCS0.html

"Imperial" Daleks are the best for one simple reason. First to be seen going up a flight of stairs.

The backup plan of every member of the cult of skaro: EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!

Unpopular opinion: Moffat should have kept the Paradigm Daleks because he clearly had a plan for them, we never even found out what the yellow 'Eternal' Dalek was for.

The Paradigm Daleks, aka Runner-up of the Biggest Plot Thread that will Never Resolve Award.

There was also the glass dalek as well ... in one of the Colin Baker episodes. That was creepy enough ... a human becoming a dalek.

I love how Russel's team nailed the Dalek Design right out of the bag and it's stayed all these years.

The Silver Daleks didn't appear in Destiny of the Daleks, they appeared in Death to the Daleks which was a John Pertwee story

There's a Heavy Weapons Dalek in the Dalek Asylum, covered in chains & cobwebs. It's a blink and you miss it appearance, bt made me smile to see one in there :->

I think if the fans actually gave them a chance and didn’t complain so much, then Steven would have continued with the paradigm daleks and we could have seen these amazing new abilities and potentially some of the Moffat era dalek stories be improved by the interesting, new, original plans they had for these daleks. I’m not saying that that definitely would have happened, but it could have. But now we’ll never know.

I'm a simple man. I see an Ace Creeper video at 5:00pm that's about 40 minutes long and possibly long enough for me to sit down and eat my dinner while I watch it, I click. Disclaimer: I don't usually take 40 minutes to eat my dinner.

My top three... 1.Bronze 2.Genesis 3.Tea ☕️

I actually really like the Dalek Sec design. I thought it made him really stand out as a leader of this small group of daleks and an important dalek character and I thought that he was actually quite interesting as a character and I absolutely hate what they done to him in Daleks in Manhattan, it felt like a waste of, imo, a really good and unique design. I can understand why you don't like the design as much though

The scariest thing about this was you being 4 when 'Dalek' was first aired...

The Gold Dalek was actually from Day of the Daleks and i think it was either a commander or a supreme

Personally I love Daley Sec, the all black just made him feel powerful to look at

Lmao just realised that classic emperor looks like a badminton shuttlecock.

Trivia: 16 WAS a cushing Dalek. They borrowed it from Terry Nations personal collection. It was in a bad way and needed a new eyestalk and the lights had gone astray as well.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes colourful Daleks. My favourite designs are the original Skaro Daleks, the grey look from Genesis of the Daleks, the Paradigm Daleks, the Peter Cushing design and the Special Weapons Dalek.

The grey Daleks from the 70s and 80s will always be my favourite.

1:17 "Pervertly fine."

ooh a Ace cre- HOLY CRAP THAT'S LONG!

25 was actually the design from Death to the Daleks

My favourite dalek design has to be the special weopons dalek

A very interesting and enjoyable list! A couple of omissions. One was the Supreme Dalek from Resurrection of the Daleks - black with white spots. I guess you skipped over it as it is fairly similar to other black "command Dalek" variants. Another, which I think is a great shame you skipped it is one of my favourite ever Dalek moments in Doctor Who - the glass Dalek from Revelation. Clearly intended to be an incomplete Dalek undergoing construction, the creepiness factor is in the grotesque mutation and conversion process taking place inside it. Listening to the unlucky occupant alternating between ranting racial superiority slogans whilst begging to be killed is some of the most horrific material in the series. It really hammers home that the one thing that is worse than meeting a Dalek is becoming one.

My faves are probs time war design even though they were overused In the end Also... WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA???!!

I absolutely love those imperial Daleks, Remembrance of the Daleks will always be my favorite doctor who Dalek story.

Yes I know I got a few of the Story Titles wrong for a couple classic Daleks ~ Just another whacky stupid Ace Creeper mistake, not to worry! I should have double, triple checked - Whoops!

18:51 the purpose of the satellite dish was to be able to move on earth as in “the daleks” they could only move on electric floors

I should point out (unless you knew already) that Phillip Hinchcliffe, unhappy he'd inherited the Sontaran Dalek and Cybermen stories, told David Maloney that they were going to shoot the Daleks in low light, low angles and make them the silent malevolent centrepiece. Incidentally, He also told the actors whose characters were exterminated to scream in utter agony.

Your comparisons are absolutely fantastic. I could watch these all day.

My favourite is Dalek Sec and my least favourite is the Recon Dalek Don't kill me, people!

Ha ha... you make me feel really old. When 'Dalek' screened I was 26!!!! I really enjoy your vids. I liked the Cybermen one you did too : )

The Imperial Daleks from Remembrance of the Daleks was pretty cool

Great listing. Really enjoyed your countdown.

You managed to make 43 minutes out of this... well done. Amazing

The “Stolen Earth” Red Supreme Dalek also appeared in “The End of Time Part 1” in archive footage, in “The Day of the Doctor” as its Head appears in the black archive and also in “The Zygon Inversion” in the same archive footage (scene in the black archive) from The Day of the Doctor”

With the Recon Scout, I’m honestly surprised it took them this long to try and make a Dalek animatronic. Figured in 2005 they would have switched over to that method.

Crikey, I did not know there were so many Daleks, I have been following Dr Who since the late 60's and they still are by far the real Dr Who Nemisis, I too was frightened when I first met the Daleks probably around 4 or 5 like yourself, Simply the Best. Thanks for a detailed review fo all the types of Dalek's and to be fair your countdown was probably close to the mark, but I have to say I did like the coloured Daleks. Your No 1 was certainly one of the best :-). Great Video !

As a new fan I thought this list would be a little boring for me but I enjoyed it. It was fun and educational. I was always aware of their place in pop culture but I never realized how many variations there were . Your story about the first one that scared you as a pre-schooler added a nice touch. Of course my favorite is the Recon Scout. That episide was a blast to watch as a new fan.

Dalek sec is my favourite that’s what made me get in dr who

The best doctor who centred RU-vidr!

Great video, always nice to hear others opinions about the various Dalek designs.. One of my very favourites came last though! Lol Was wondering where you’d rank The Dalek Prime Minister from Asylum? Also where the original silver Daleks (with blue hemi’s) from The Chase, Dalek Masterplan, Power and Evil went? Machine gun Dalek? The glass Dalek from Revelation? Saucer commander from DIoE? Supreme from Resurrection? The patchwork Daleks from Destiny? Oh blimey, I need to lay in a darkened room now as I started to do my own list!!!

Congrats on getting 100K views on this video

Resurrection of the Daleks quote 'Withdraw'

I cannot decide which emperor voice I prefer. They're both imposing but the original is more robotic while the new one sounds angrier.

Very interesting video - I really really like the Paradigm Daleks, I really liked the roles behind the colours and the purpose they served. Which adds to that I don't understand why they slowly disappeared over the Smith Era. But nothing can beat the Time War Dalek it's so Iconic now :)

12 was my favourite Dalek design for years and probably still is if I think about it. I used to have a remote control toy version of it in my teens that would just sit on my shelf and look imposing.

Imperial Daleks are easily the best Dalek design. They are beautiful!

I think for the new Dalek it could be have a classic and a new Dalek together but I like the new daleks

Great video, you clearly put a lot of effort into it. Only a few errors I’ve seen after skimming through it, Silver ones first appeared in Death and Gold one first appeared in Day. I’m sure it’s just an editing mistake, but I thought I should tell you.

Absolutely loved this 🙌🏻

What about the Pakistani Dalek and its child dalek?

Silver dalek first appeared in death to the daleks and gold-ish brownish dalek is from day of the daleks and I hate the fact that that bothered me so much I need to leave the house...

The colours do signify what time period and rank they're from though, though they could have just had a different dome colour to signify rank/speciality or something like that

When the Paradigm Daleks were later shown with darker colors instead of just being flat matte colors I actually did like them because they actually looked a little bit more imposing in those colors.

I’m offended by your choice!!! Dalek Sec is my FAVOURITE!

My favourite dalek are the imperial daleks from remembrance of the daleks

The grey/green colour is Olive Drab, used on most World War 2 Allied vehicles :-)

I didn’t know the chase daleks were different... you learn something new every day

I love the Recon Scout, the DIY look with all the hubcaps and old dalek parts make it look so brutal.

Lol my favourite one is silver and black dalek lol the one at the bottom XD

Cool video, agree with lots of your choices. Special Weapons Dalek though, would be in my top 3, still looks badass today. I also do love the Imperial Daleks, I think my love of Remembrance is perhaps clouding my judgement, great job!

I really enjoyed that, thanks... (my faves are the Imperials, btw) ! :)

Unpopular opinion but I love the paradigm daleks

The Recon Scout should have had travelled on treads.

The time war and the classic Daleks and Sec

Great video, thank you

I feel like I'm the only one who loves the recon Dalek from 2019

Unpopular opinion: the paradigm daleks are poor. (Since the comments are full of people praising them that's the true unpopular opinion tbh) They're just too big and painted like a bag of skittles. Also they didnt have to exterminate the ironside daleks, they could've used them as willing slaves. But why exterminate your long standing mortal enemy standing in front of you when you can waste time exterminating your predecessors who would happily do whatever you say.

One thing that I think helps the paradigm Daleks be more threatening is that it's like a council of Daleks looking down on the others which I think is pretty cool

Classic Daleks rock, Modern Daleks suck. Both in visual design and the stories they’re in.

I’m sorry but when you put the Resolution Dalek that high on the list, you lost me.

Well done on putting together the list, such a time investment. I can't help thinking that half the list were essentially classic dalek designs with different paint schemes and slight modifications, so for me some of the choices were six of one and half a dozen of the other. I'm not surprised with No.1 at all, nor am I surprised the Paradigm Daleks made it so low, I think they're pretty agreeable choices there. The best on the list were the ones I knew little about but were that much more different, like the recon model. Should Davros, or the half-dalek have been eligible? What about the other daleks in the cult of Skaro? More New Who daleks could have made the list in my view, given the similarity of the Classic Who daleks.

Everyone when they see a Paradigm Dalek: What's with the colours? Me when I see the Paradigm Daleks: I wanna know what an Eternal Dalek is.

The dish on the back of the Dalek Invasion of Earth Daleks was there to increase their mobility because when the Doctor first met them on Skaro (which took place millions of years in the future), they were only able to move on metal. The dish transferred static electricity into them, which they used to move.

37:00 "when I was 4" wow, that makes me feel old now.. 16 years ago, time flies!

A great countdown of the Dalek designs. The first Dalek design I saw was in the original broadcast of Genesis of the Daleks and I suppose I judge each design against that. However, I do like the Black Dalek and the Time War Dalek designs. Why? Just that they look like real machines. On a trip to the Doctor Who Experience, I was surprised at the differences in size and features between the Scaro Dalek and the TW Dalek. The Scaro version looked small and cute, and I found myself crouching down beside it to get a photo.

The colourful "Chase" Dalek wasn't made to add a bit of a change; it was a film prop from the first Cushing movie, with the fender removed (it'has no fender section at all as a result), being used to pad out the group Dalek scenes. It's always in the background trying to not be noticed. The rest of the "Chase" Daleks were the ordinary ones, now with vertical waist slats, that went on top appear throughout the sixties.

Im gonan do a top 5 on the spot but it does change daily also i really enjoyed the video! :D 1)time war 2)scuicide bomb (withoit bombs) 3)gold and white ones 4)skaro daleks 5)gennesis

I love the Paradigm Daleks

14:54 I believe that the Supreme Council Dalek prop was in fact one that had been used for the Cushing films [Or at least one of them], hence the similarities.

Ace: metal must not be shiny. Great video loved seeing all of them together.

Hi mate, could you send me a link to the page thanks

do you happen to have a list to the site you used to make the list?

I have a darlek gold which has some rear armour which has been replaced , less told this dalek was named ?

Very good video!

You missed the Emperor Dalek from Remembrance, the one who at last looks similar to what I always thought the Emperor should look like thanks to "The Dalek Tapes" comic strip from Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly.

Even Classic Daleks had replacements instead of just plungers, not only the Cushing ones. The larger bumpers on the Cushing version was so that the actors could stand and move more easily. Despite various color changes and a few additions (grippers, slats, etc.), they were all the original four props with relevant repairs.

I'm gonna be honest, this video kind of activated my fight/flight response when it came up in my recommended list, because I've seen so many of these kinds of videos that just absolutely trash some of my favourite designs. So I am really glad that this video isn't at all what I was expecting!! I remember back in 2010 when the fandom was finally starting to gain some traction where I live, and suddenly all I heard about for years was how ridiculous the Paradigm Daleks were, about how they looked candy-coated, all the power ranger jokes, hunchbacks, et cetera. But like, I always really liked the design? I agree that the colours were a bit bright and the super sleek texture made them look a bit too plastic, but other than that I had no problems with it, and I was a bit disappointed when they phased them out and pretended it had never happened. Especially so when I finally got to see one of the models in person at the Doctor Who Experience a few years ago, and I realized how tall the Paradigm Daleks actually were. Like, I'm fairly short irl, but that model towered over me. Now, rationally speaking, I knew it was just an empty prop on display, but there are few things more intimidating than a Dalek that can actually look down at you holy heck! And that bit about changing out their weapon types would definitely have been interesting to see, kind of hope they bring back that concept, if not the design itself. Oof, sorry for the rambling. What I mean to say is, good video, excellent takes on the various designs!

My fav is the Genesis Dalek- grey and sort of battle damaged look. They had a way on the show of making them appear out of the shadows which scared the hell out of me as a kid!

Ooh! I also love the time war daleks! The golden one from 2005. It's the first Dalek I've ever seen and he was just really great. I also love the red on the supreme time war dalek

I love your passion. I'm not certain I totally agree and yet I value it... And your accent sounds like mine

Have you got that Model of the Ironside Dalek?

I'm actually quite fond of one of the designs for the Time Lord Victorious Daleks. It uses the model of the TIme War Dalek, but the colour scheme is more classic: Silver, with blue sensor orbs. It really works.

You know, I'm really curious if you'd listened to stories with some of the Big Finish Daleks, like the Dalek Time Controller, the Dalek Time Strategist and the Dalek Overseer, and where you would place them onto the list.

Tough, my most favorite Dalek design would probably be... hell... yeah totally, the Time War Dalek! Fucking terrifying, and all that you said. My most favorite Classic Dalek would absolutely be the Special Weapons Dalek, you already know why.

Gotta agree with the placing of the Time War Dalek. When I think of Dalek I think of it and I remember my gasp at the reveal in Bad Wolf.

Its amazing after 55yrs The Dalek has kept pretty much the same basic shape and with good reason it's iconic. Another great list Ace.

18:52, no the dish gives the dalek power, previously they received power through the floor in the dalek cities, and they would die if contact with the floor was lost, which is what happens in 'The Daleks' when one gets pushed onto a coat or something, cutting out its power
