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
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
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.
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).
I’m getting tired of seeing the bronze time war Daleks. Could we get some other colors please? And no just turning the dome black isn’t enough, we need more.
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.
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.
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.
This channel is the best channel for infomation about these tin can machines! Please keep up the amamzing research and work!!!!!! Edit - Just became your first pateron supporter!
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.
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. Congratulations to all involved and thank you - please make another series!
The quality of these videos astound me and are absolutely fantastic and are more interesting than most documentary’s put on the dvds, keep up the excellent work
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. Happy, Times and Places.
Thank you for those kind words Christopher! It’s been a pleasure and we are really grateful for all the nice feedback we have had. We will be back soon-ish with more. Gav really could do with a break after weeks of solid video editing!
Wow absolutely fascinating, are you 100% sure that the countdown writer was not actually Terry Nation writing under a pen-name and consulting with Gerry Haylock about how he wanted the Daleks to appear in the strip? What a shame this series has come to an end, looking forward to the next one, have a great holiday 😎
The series thus far has been forensic in it's detail. I thought I knew the history of who well but this takes things to a whole new level. Well done. Your hard work really shows.
Same here I've been a fan for over 20 years! (ever since 1997) and I pride myself in my know how regarding the series (albeit the Classic stuff) and to be honest I'd say that I'm out classed.
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?)
I love the fantastic Supreme Dalek. Planet is a fantastic Greatest Hits Dalek story. Shocked the Thals have never come back since Genesis of the Daleks.
Go Gerry Haylock! I never guessed that. Well done guys this is truly an amazing end to an astounding series that I have literally looked forward to watching every Monday! Thank you so so much and I'm looking forward to the second series!
It's great that there's going to be a season two. Loved the Gerry Haylock connection in this ep. It's always a pleasure to see his artwork. Happy Hols!
In my honest opinion the Supreme Dalek and the Emperor Dalek were much better than the ghastly Dalek creator Davros who was not, a genuine Dalek but half Dalek and half Kaled mutant and also both the Emperor Dalek and Supreme Dalek were billions of times better than bloody Davros.
I built a Dalek using the plans from the 1973 special. Turned out a lot taller than it should have. Do you know what happened to the one they built for the magazine?
I only found your Channel at the beginning of your Series and followed you since. I love how you put a lot of time, effort and research into your videos and website to make them enjoyable and full of information.
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!" It's all really fascinating to learn about and always has some of the strangest turns.
a dalek stage play? what was it a musical? how does a mutant, war bent, son of davros, and a killing machine dropped in the middle of a time war on a spot in gallifrey without a roof for sleeping under, grow up to be a deadly timelord hunter, and the worlds gonna hear your scream, whats your scream man? EX-TER-MIN-ATE
I have really loved this series as it has been very helpful with gaining knowledge on these props. Thank you for making these! I hope that we can get a history of more daleks soon.
The Destroyers. Really? That is the intro to The Invaders, a Quinn Martin Production - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OAmFgmTjzTs.html
@@tkps5079 I've just listened to it. The "lyrics" are over the top and a bit pretentious but I could imagine imagine Matt Smith or Peter Capaldi delivering them as a "serious" speech. If the third Dr had said them, though, the Brigadier and Jo would have taken him on a nice little trip to the hospital with mattress wallpaper.
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.
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!
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!! ❤️❤️
Absolutely fascinating and well put together ... Loving the little videos and lots to consider and see! I do worry a little though that you might be putting 2 and 2 together too much re the colours ... For example, when I made my own Dalek from the Radio Times plans, I painted it black with Red/Orange balls, slats and dome ... but I never saw the Haylock strips as I didn't get the comics ... the reason I painted it those colours: because those were the paints we had in the garage, and I liked the contrast of the red with the black ... I'm not sure it registered with me that there were pics in that RT Special either ... Wasn't Nation still writing and working in TV very successfully in the 70s? So I suspect worrying about what colours his Daleks were or whether they had been used on TV or not was not top of his mind. And you do mention that the TV colours were pretty much down to the BBC rather than anyone else ... Also, colours of Daleks as toys depended at the time on available colours of plastics and so on ... so again it might just all be coincidence ... As we can't ask Nation or Haylock or anyone else what was in their minds, it's all speculation anyway, but I know from my discussions with MANY Visual Effects and Merchandise people that often things which seem preconceived or 'worked out' are anything but, and are usually as a result of coincidence or luck!
Glad you are enjoying the videos David! It’s interesting to speculate on some things isn’t it. With regards to the merchandise there is definitely links between the 10th anniversary RT and some of the merchandise. The Weetabix cards drew on them and the Denys Fisher Dalek would have to be a hell of a coincidence if it wasn’t based on Nations Dalek. Even their Cyberman has hints of the Cyberman on the cover. We have footage from goodwood of two Daleks based on the RT Dalek plans that are coloured in the way they suggest so again there is evidence it happened. Maybe the stuff about nations choice of colours AFTER Planet is a bit speculative but it’s clear that beforehand he was making sure he had a Supreme Dalek ready for use on TV. And we know he wanted a red Dalek for his aborted USA idea. So he did have previous! 🙂
One of those Dalek "toys" for seven years stood in the upstairs of the, then famous, "Romer Parish" toy shop on Linthorpe road in Middlesbrough Teesside, I visited it many times as a boy and tried in vain to persuade my father to buy it for me for the price of (if memory serves) £57.50, an exorbitant amount of money. Eventually some one must have bought it as it disappeared, leaving me inconsolable as it was pointed out very few of them existed and there was never likely to be another in stock.
Another incredibly informative episode! So which props actually took to the stage with Trevor Martin for Seven Keys?? And why are there so few photographs from that production? I’ve see one photo of the Tardis console, one photo of a ‘clawrantula’ no photos of the Tardis prop used and nothing else. No sets, no Daleks, no stills from rehearsals or a press performance!
If you have a look at our Facebook page we have a photo album for ‘various other Dalek props’ and there is a picture of the Daleks in there. It seems as if they borrowed the Supreme Dalek as they look like that
Ever since the Daleks made their reappearance back in 2005 I've been hoping we'd see a return of some of the older designs. I was rather happy with the paradigm Daleks when they appeared, as they reminded me of the older designs, seems I was the only one to think that though...
I waited all day at work to come home and catch this episode, and it did NOT disappoint! I love all the extra details you have brought to our collective attention! A suggestion for a future series topic, Daleks on Display - covering the Tussaud, Wilkie, and other Daleks that were displayed to the public. Was there a Dalek in the USA Exhibition trailer? Good luck to all the subscribers for the giveaway.
Brilliant stuff yet again. I've loved every minute of this, and I'm so glad it's not quite over (looking forward to the snippets videos). Enjoy your holiday. You more than deserve it after producing this excellent series.
my head is spinning from all the Dalek mix and match detail...but how did the Supreme's neck section change? or did I miss something? Anyway, without wishing to sound like a creep...another amazing video.
It's really interesting to see where all these props ended up and how they kept getting re-painted and rearranged. The surviving ones did look really tired by the end, not sure if I missed it but did we find out where the surviving props are now?
I just discovered this series yesterday, and it's great! If you ever wanna branch out into other old Doctor Who stories, I'd definitely be interested in watching that!
Influences might also have been James Bond's 007 and a toy which was popular in the UK in 1964 called Johnny Seven, a multipurpose gun which had a rocket launcher etc. For some reason,, if you are looking for a "cool" number then Seven seems just cooler than all the other digits.
INSTACLICKS, thinks to self: ‘No, no, this is a 63.88 video, it needs treating with respect!’ grabs beer and snacks, settles in, presses play: CONTINUE! Edit: oops, typo, 63 not 66, bugger, fixed, oh well, as ever I really enjoyed that guys, thanks so much, and who knew Daleks were so hard to hang onto!
Best video yet ,they lead a rough life now someone has daleks out there, i think some disappeared on a promotion tour of USA after the films, also the sugar puffs Dalek giveaway . Great to see how they changed and being modular swapped about, so some unknown added the torch and made the new neck to repair damage,this is going to take some re watching, also there was the book the Dalek special that had the special Dalek on it, Terry was famous for re hashing his own scripts I know with my dads generation the Daleks were seen as something separate to the program
At 12:48, the two 'Mark VII' dalek toys caught my attention due to the shape of their mid section. It's probably an awfully large long shot, but they do resemble that of the 2011 paradigm Daleks in their overall body shape, especially with that midsection. Do you think that these may have had an influence on the paradigm Daleks, or do you think that its just a big coincidence?
It's Monday night! - Oh, but it's one week after your series ended. Just shows how fantastic your series has been, as, although only a few weeks long, somehow my brain has set an internal alarm clock. Looking forward to whatever you produce next. Thanks again.
Although I remember the Daleks from watching Dr. Who during the 80s, I wouldn't say I had a particular interest in them, but I've found this series of videos absolutely fascinating
@@Dalek6388 Honestly, your eye for subtle detail and identifying them by such things as rivets and screw holes is incredible. I'm probably not the only person who didn't have much more than a passing interest beforehand who's been glued to these videos. Fantastic job!
