The Mystery of Terry Nation's Special Daleks | Terry Nation Army | Ep 2 

Wow, the Dalek Supreme really was royalty from day one

The "red-top" Dalek is being stored in a closet next to the Genesis Ark at 17:10, two props from two different eras in Dalek history. There's also a New Series Cybermat hiding with the luchboxes.

Who could have dreamed that obsessive Dalek identification could be this interesting? Brilliant work.

I wish the Dalek Emperor that was seen in Evil of the Daleks had reappeared in more stories but Nation disliked the Emperor Dalek in Evil of the Daleks

When I was a child, I remember the nursery school that I attended having a Dalek. I remember it being solidly built, you could get inside, you could also move the gun/arms from the inside and it stood by the back door. This would have been around 1970 and I was only about 2 then. So my memories may not quite match reality. The nursery school is still there in Cookham Rise, Berkshire. I am not sure about the Dalek, but Pinewood Studios is only about 11 miles away.

Fascinating video. To be able to identify each of 19 Daleks takes some doing. That level of individualism is why 63-88 Daleks are THE true Daleks.

I have been a Dr Who fan since I don't know when . When ppl say that they hid behind the sofa when the guys were scooting around on tv in the early 60`s … I remember that I did just that . I had the plans to make one but neve did . Apart from the colours I did not realise that they were so many different ones .

This makes me very happy - to know the full history of the Supreme Dalek from Planet!

Wow, I never knew there was such complexity to the whole Dalek gang. Like many, I just assumed there were the tv and movie versions. Thank you.

Love the fact that Terry Nation is cheerfully having a tab!

I can't express my appreciation and acknowledgements strongly enough for what are extremely well researched and presented docco's ...a BIG THANK YOU and subscribed!!!!

I've got to admit I never normally watch any YT vid of any sort over 10 mins long but this really held my interest. How the hell you notice all those little details is admirable ...and mind-boggling.

Amazing - and mind boggling - detail. I find myself fascinated by the story of all these props. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.

To be fair, if Terry Nation REALLY wanted some Daleks, he could probably have paid Shawcraft to make him some brand new. I'm sure they wouldn't turn down the work.

I saw Terry Nation in Maidstone Library in the mid seventies with two Daleks one of which was red. I think he was awarding a prize to the winner of a children's competition of some sort. Ottakars Bookshop in Milton Keynes owned a black Dalek that looked like it was from one of the films. This shop later became Waterstone's and they must have sold the Dalek because it seemed to disappear in 2018.

This is the sort of research I’d be able to do to procrastinate from the actual essay I’m meant to be writing

Another amazing episode. C'mon Beeb support these guys and get their work on the official DVDs

I remember as a child one of the Dalek life size models coming to one of Dr Barnardo's homes for children at Saltburn by the sea near Redcar. I had a photo of me standing next to it with my hand on it's gun. I am sorry to say that I have lost the photo but not the memory. They where so real to me.

I saw a bunch of Daleks through a window in a locked boat house by the sea in Pembroke once. They were really creepy.

If you ever come back to this subject, it’d be really nice to see a lineup of these Daleks throughout history, depicting all of their iterations in order.

This series is so brilliant. As if new facts can still be unearthed after all this time!

Discovered your channel thanks to a comment on one of Josh Snares' videos and I'm really glad I did, your videos are fantastic!

Wow!!!!! This is a team truly dedicated to there craft. I've watched that dalek film hundreds of times and haven't noticed the details you speak of. However they'll stand right out the next time. Thanks very much for your efforts. 👍

Waterstones in Norwich used to have a dalek on display. I looked it up and it seems a few branches around the uk have them. I wonder where they all came from.

Ah... We have one of them down ere in St Agnes - Cornwall, UK. (owned by my mate Steve T and modified by us, to traverse a mock stair on a stairlift at the Cornwall Show - Wadebridge). Steve's Dalek is black, with silver knobs on. Which of course signifies a *Cornish Dalek* !

Very interesting watch. Thank you and will stay tuned for the others.

This is incredibly interesting. Thanks for the great video, can't wait for the next one. It's amazing to see where the props went to, and funny to see that the gold Dalek from Dalek Invasion Earth became the Supreme.

Oh wow. I’ve been a fan of your website for years. Just found this channel.... subbed and can’t wait for all your content as I know it will be 100% pure geeky awesomeness.

I love this series! Fascinating to know there were Curse Daleks in the movies. Thank you for what we've had so far, look forward to the next one!

Wickedly interesting as usual and I sincerely hope this prompts other long forgotten facts to re-emerge. Great stuff.

Must be 20 years ago, probably more, on an arts and entertainment college course in Lancaster and Morecambe, an Actor friend called Nigel apparently had a Dalek and (i think) made appearances with it, though i never saw it. He was from Lancaster, and a very funny and great Guy. Sadly we lost contact after the course finished. Also, until seversl years back, i saw a Dalek in the Foyer on the Bradford (West Yorkshire) Museum of TV film and photography, the story was that it kept guard ...

Seriously! Your website is awesome and this sort of special rivals some of the DVD extras we get surrounding the daleks. You should migrate the website into these specials surrounding each era of props!

Discovered this channel today and what a find it was. Thanks for your efforts!

Just stumbled across this video and channel, absolutely fascinating, great stuff!

Nice one again lads , well done.

I haven't watched Dr Who in years but the behind the scenes info is so awesome! Great channel!

Fantastic work. I loved it and already look forward to more

Great work....I wanted this to go on for longer....much longer. Looking forward to future videos.

Another fascinating video. Thanks for all the research need to make it

4.31 OH MY GOD, I'm been having the plunger and death ray in the wrong hands for my entire childhood!

Wow, incredible research here! Don’t know where i’d even start with matching up all those dalek props

Spectacular episode.

Amazing... fascinating ! Thank you soooo much ! :)

Phenomenal research! Love this series!

Fabulous. Loving these vids! ☺

Brilliant, keep these coming!

Really good documentary. A great mix of humour and information 😊

Excellent stuff! I loved it!

Absolutely fascinating. Joyous!

Excellent,very enjoyable viewing Thank you!

Excellent work once again!

Excellent work. Thank you very much. I can't wait to find out more about these props.

Really great stuff! You’re detail and amount of research is simply immaculate! By the way, how many of these do you plan on doing? I hope you do a lot more of these?

another brilliant and informative episode!😁 keep up the good work!😁

just discovered this channel, this was so interesting and well researched you have a new sub sir

I love your intro very much in the spirit of Dr Who, but properly Dalek.

There is a Dalek in a shop window in Penzance in Cornwall. Shop is called Steckfensters on Chapel street. Been there for as long as I can remember.

This is impressive research. Wonderful work.

Great video. Looking forward to more.

Finishing of my catching up with the series here - I'd just like to say how amazed I am at the level of research in all the episodes and the Site - I look forward to Series 2...

This is better than any special feature I have seen so far

Wow! This really has opened my eyes to some information that I never knew before. I always thought that the Supreme Dalek seen in 'Planet of the Daleks' was simply the Gold coloured Dalek seen in the 1966 movie with a torch put on the end of it's Eye Stork plus a sink plunger put in place of it's Claw (in order to stay in keeping with continuity with the rest of the Daleks in the show) and that was that. But, this, wow.... The 1965 stage play (or rather the 2009 Big Finish audio version) entitled 'The Curse of the Daleks' has always been one of my em 'guilty' pleasures (if you've heard the CD or maybe read the script you'll know what I mean...) and it was interesting to find out the connection between the movies and the stage show. Also thank you for clearing up the mystery regarding the odd looking Dalek that was used in the photo shoot with Jill Curzon, of which made me wonder ever since I was old enough to stop looking at Jill and to pay attention to more important things, such as the toy Dalek that she was shown holding in a few shots (I used to own one of the reissues but sadly I lost it in a fire at a storage depo where it was being kept while I was moving house, along with a large number of other items) and yes, the odd looking Claw that the Dalek sports in the photos. Just wondering, will you be covering the history of the Dalek seen in the 1970s Katy Manning photo shoot, I know that not all of the shots show her alongside the Dalek and the images are somewhat NSFW (if you get what I mean) but I would like to know a little more about it, particularly with regards to how it was decided to show the Dalek with it's eye removed from it's Eyestork, most likely this was probably meant to be a very obvious joke but I'm sure that there's a story behind it anyway. Just wondering, I know that you have already done a (very good) video cover some of the production aspects of 'The Chase' but it is still a confirmed fact whether or not if the larger sized Daleks seen inside the DARDIS were indeed Movie style Daleks, only with the bases removed? Thank you for uploading, and yes I have subscribed to your channel as well.

I am amazed at the detailed research.

utterly fascinating!

Awesome vid!!! You are a Dalek Detective what a cool job!!! 😊

another cracking episode guys !

This history is genuinely so interesting

Well done!

You know, I never realised quite how rough the Dalek construction was up until you showed them in such detail. I've always noted the odd thing but just put it down to being bashed around and scuffed up in production.

This is excellent and fascinating!

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Terry would be proud. I wish he was still around. Because it would be interesting if he made. A Batman/Dr Who script for a animated movie.

came here via a wkikki hole . ABSOLUTELY fascinating! So much hard work and dedication to solve little mysteries like this really do define what the human race is to me.

Now that is a nerdy video and as someone who recognises the music that is meant as a compliment

My God , gripping stuff ! This was a well spent 17 mins . Well set out and explained . I Wonder How many Daleks total there are in the world ?

Brilliantly researched and presented! Thankyou. One more Subscriber.

This is a Who's Who of Daleks! Amazingly researched details.

Brilliant!

Excellent

This is some crazy detective work

Superb video, I salute your dedicated detective work in spotting such minor details like bolt holes to uniquely identify the props! I do have a question (which might have been answered in an earlier video); were the Dalek props in 2150AD new for that film (excluding the Curse Daleks) or were they all reused from the first Cushing movie?

This is my kind of fandom. Brilliant!

Absolutely fascinating once again! Thank you for all of your hard work, research and time and effort in making these. Is it wrong to want a dvd/Blu-ray? 🤔 👏👏👏👏

Lovely video! X

amazing research

My name is Nigel, I am 48, I am a geek and I am proud! (Room applauds... Finally all rise from their seats as tears roll down faces).

This is Amazing stuff, How the hell have I never seen this channel you have 8yr old vids, and Ive never seen themmm, OMG>!!! Keep up the good work these videos are just brilliant.. and also the intro music is really cool, is it original ?

It's great that Terry was able to buy them.

BRAVO!

London 1965! That reminds me of the Doctor Who Marathon last year! XD 11:52

My grandfather could remember the daleks going down Cardiff high street first time they were seen

Very interesting and a good voice to listen to, I have a NSD outside my window 😁

Great video. 👍 My understanding is that the weird silver cup on the arm of that stage/movie Dalek was a plastic lampshade. I wonder why they replaced the movie dome lights on the Dalek supreme with those purple jam jar lights for Planet.

Terrific stuff....🐴

Phenomenal research

My first taste of this channel and I'm so impressed. When Dr. Who joins the works of Shakespeare and Chaucer as required learning in schools, this stuff will be invaluable......

I love this!

Well, this seems pertinent to my interests! Cool!

Really enjoyable watching this. Building a full size Dalek myself aiming for 1960s style. What constantly holds me back getting no where is what it should look like and working out trying to get everything perfect. But what this video shows is each one having its own identity which is really appealing. Hmm! I do now feel inspired.

Anyone else notice the position of the Dalek's eyestalk in the Honey magazine photo (4:54) :D

Well I would never have ever known anything about this at all, found this very interesting to watch.
