The Lost COLOUR 1960s Dalek Episodes | Terry Nation Army | Ep 5 

Lovely story Simon! Thank you for sharing and thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Just like David Tennant's father in law is his former self.

Brad Phipps and david’s wife is the Doctor’s daughter, quite literally. Peter Davidson is her father.

@@anonymystical4413 mind blown

Is this true?

@@JD-rt8ym Yes - Vertue was Moffat's mother-in-law. She died in February this year.

The documents he shows tell a different story to the one he is narrating. BBC attempting to get a cut of his film and merchandising, even though they have nothing to do with making it... BBC bullshit.

Because they didn't realise they would be anything bigger or more popular than Any number of their other 'monsters' and in house creations. I should imagine that's the reason ? I find it hilarious that tony Hancock and Terry were friends and he used to go and sleep (without sleeping much) round Tony's and it was here he fleshed out his daleks with the help of tony Hancock who no doubt suggested the plunger ends and eye stalk...definitely nation who suggested upside down shuttlecock which Hancock found hilarious.

A real shame Destroyers wasn't made and picked up by ABC, back then, there was an automatic demand for any English media productions in the US. Many of us relied on PBS (Public Television) to watch Doctor Who and British comedy series.

He's responsible for the Daleks and Blake's Seven. Give the genius a break.

@@Nautilus1972 I know. The Daleks are my favourite baddie and Blake's 7 is better than all the Star Trek's apart from the original, which I think it's equal too.

He might have worked on the basis of not knowing something is impossible, and therefore making it possible.

Many people in film or TV know next to zero about Production unless they are directly involved, trust me.

I would also like to point out how it was a different time. Nowadays even authors who will never have a chance at writing for film or tv will ponder on what they will do with the movie rights of what they write, but we wouldn't have the history of rights battles if there weren't people to whom this stuff happened as the first precedent. And they didn't have the internet back then, researching that kind of stuff would have been tedious.

Thank you Richard that really is appreciated! Not quite the end yet though!

RU-vid's gone to HELL since Google took over.

That’s right! And yards away from the Shawcraft workshop!

Might have to visit there someday next year.

I thought that too - on first transmission.

The BBC wiped a lot of children's shows and shorts in the 1990s under the assumption they had no commercial value. There is a possibility this was destroyed, but I hope not. Hope you find it!

I really doubt they were interested in any sort of Doctor Who related continuity.

Maybe it would’ve been a prequel to her time on doctor who

It's all relative...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

@@Nautilus1972 Ah ha.

ABC was the US studio that wanted the pilot, not the Australian BC.

ABC was called “Associated British Corporation” although American Broadcasting Company wanted the Pilot

Thank you!

Yes, because it is all about how the BBC are the 'good guys'.

Cyberman: Delete... Delete

Thank you Oliver! Glad you like them! 😀

Ray Cusick deserves as much of the credit as Nation.

@@brianthesnape exactly, Nation lucked out because the design was so great.

Well compare it with Dixon of Dock Green. The eponymous character first appeared in The Blue Lamp. By the end of the film he was dead!

Thank you! Yes we hope to be around for a good while yet and we have some great stuff coming up!

I agree - but, I enjoyed Class quite a bit. Too much blood though I thought - that damaged the show.

@@tortysoft I also loved Class, but a Dalek spin-off would definitely have been a wiser choice.

Its some royalty free music that Gav found on YT.

We still have it too just in case. But it was only a few seconds of cuts.

Thanks Alan! You should visit @BapVendor on Twitter for lots of great OOTU stuff!

Thank you Paul!

Thank you! I’m not 100% sure about the Blake 7 thing. I’ve heard it before but it would be something to look into.

It was just a dream...

@@proudsnowtiger I also Dreamed this then, what happened youtube cant take the awesomeness

I watched it as well!

Yes, yes they do.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 🙂

I’m afraid we have nothing on it no and I’m not really sure I want to know more! I’d be intrigued to see pictures of the Daleks only though.

Thanks for your help, as it stands I was more interested in seeing the Daleks themselves and how they were worked into the act rather than the actors in blackface more than anything else. I have seen, thanks to RU-vid, a few of the other acts that they did for their little show and while I am not racist I must admit to having a morbid fascination with such media (eg 'Tintin in the Congo') granted I may be somewhat desentised due to my repeated viewings of old films plus the fact it is seen as taboo does often draw me too that kind of media, but the historical context of the times it was made in has always interested me greatly plus the kind of thinking on the part of the original audiences of any era of which my interests would have been presented to interests me as well as I feel that understanding such things helps me enjoy old media a lot better. I would recommend such thinking to anyone who wants to lets say, watch an old horror film on its own merrits rather than see it as 'old rubbish'. Happy Times and Places!

Rob Alexander that’s probably why the Dalek’s were overused when he was show runner

Well they do like to keep it in the family...

Thank you!

Thank you! :)

Can you recall much about it?

@@Dalek6388 Hi, only from faded memories. I do clearly remember the main protagonist shooting the gun at the Dalek, as the Dalek was a manifestation of his childhood fears. I watched it in black and white as we didn't get our first colour set until 1970

Sorry, found the answer on your excellent website. Ta.

Glad you found it Eric! 🙂

They ended up showing later ones. I distinctly remember seeing Tom Baker & Elisabeth Sladen era. I do remember not seeing any of the Dalek episodes.

If its the music I'm thinking of then its royalty free music by Ross Bugden: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zuw_O5MU5CE.html

@@Dalek6388 ... thank you so much!!...and I can't thank you enough for your videos... they are top notch!!!

Thank you. Glad you enjoy them. More to come soon!

It’s the Death to the Daleks incidental music done in the style of Seven Nation Army by the white stripes. It was arranged and performed for us by Graeme Allen. He has some music from the series on his channel but I don’t think the theme is available separately as yet.

@@Dalek6388 No no, that's not the piece I'm referring to. The music that starts at 40 second into the presentation, not the theme music :)

Ah sorry! I think Gav used some royalty free music for that. It’s available on RU-vid somewhere but I forget the name. I’ll see if I can find out

@@Dalek6388 Thanks I'd appreciate that. It sounds very WHO

I think that may be a myth. I’m fairly sure that the DW box was made specially for the show.

like I know I'm stoned as hell right now but I mean, damn

Also is it just me or was Terry Nation kind of a greedy asshole?? All this drama so he could make a few extra bucks? yikes

We do have a website at dalek6388.co.uk but unfortunately the letters are not posted there as we only have permission to use brief parts really.

What memories do you have of it? Can you recall how many Daleks they had there?

@@Dalek6388 I remember there being one grey dalek on day we went, it was towards the end of the exhibition, although there was an operator in the dalek he appeared tired and didn't move about much, you couldn't get close due to crowds of other kids. The dome would swivel and the eye would point at a kid who would run away screaming. There was also an ice warrior and a yeti they appeared to have been stuffed and left in enclosures behind barriers. As an adult I made my own cyberman outfit, as a child we'd visited St Paul's Cathedral and walked down the steps at outside, seeing the cybermen invading a place I had already been to made an impression on me. My cyberman although not accurate is instantly recognised as a 1970's cyberman.

Thanks! We love to hear memories of those old events! There is a little footage of the 1968 exhibition on RU-vid as well as the older show in 65

@@Dalek6388 Although my 9 yr old self was disappointed with the Dr Who exhibit at Olympia I can still remember it, I'm sure there were loads of other really interesting things to look at and do that day but I can't remember them. I already knew the difference between reality and fiction, to suspend disbelief we needed to be able to role play but there were just too may kids passing through the exhibit on too many days for the illusion to remain fresh. You didn't get the chance of a personal interaction with the dalek. Video games hadn't yet been invented but we didn't get the chance to hold ray guns or fly space ships.

The 1968 Boys and Girls Exhibition was reported on BBC SE Region magazine show Town & Around in the just after the 6pm News slot that would be occupied by Nationwide in 1969. They showed the Daleks and other Dr Who exhibits as well as other fun but forgotten stuff. The film was aimed at parents to take their children while encouraging children to pester them. I wonder if this infomercial still exists.

Check our other videos! ;)

I will do but do you know of the Dalek in the Spike Milligan sketch .

Yes. It’s covered in one of the other videos. It’s Dalek Seven-2 and was the last time the skirt featured on TV as far as we know.

Thanks for that..
